00:00:04Well, CP, I think we've got another hit with that new tune of yours.

00:00:20Won't you swing it lightly?
00:00:22Now when the band is stopped to play,
00:00:24and everybody's on to sway.
00:00:26Come on and swing it lightly.

00:00:54C.P.
00:00:55Yes, Miss Cat?
00:00:56There's something I wanted to do for us.
00:00:57I'll be back to them.
00:00:59Would you want to be after this, please?
00:01:01Why, sure.
00:01:04Isn't he wonderful?
00:01:06What?
00:01:07Oh, but Dad, he's different.

00:01:26Pretty face, funny hat, that's what my blondie is.
00:01:39Lovable feet, both flat, that's what my Dagwood is.
00:01:43Blondie's not always right, I let her think she is.
00:01:47All of my thoughts are right, long as he thinks they're his.
00:01:52Life of us is...

00:02:18Hurry or you'll be late!
00:02:19Ah!
00:02:20Oh!
00:02:21Oh!
00:02:22Oh!
00:02:23Oh!
00:02:24Oh!
00:02:25Oh!
00:02:26Oh!
00:02:27Oh!
00:02:28Oh!
00:02:29Oh!
00:02:30Oh!
00:02:31Oh!
00:02:32Oh!
00:02:33Oh!
00:02:34Oh!
00:02:35Oh!
00:02:36Oh!
00:02:37Oh!
00:02:38Oh!
00:02:39Oh!
00:02:40Oh!
00:02:41Oh!
00:02:42Oh!
00:02:43Oh!
00:02:44Oh!
00:02:45Oh, dear!
00:02:49Yes?
00:02:50Do you own a little mutt with long ears?
00:02:52If you're referring to Daisy, she isn't a mutt.
00:02:54She happens to be a thoroughbred mongrel.
00:02:57All I got to say is there's a law that says that no dog can run loose on the street.
00:03:01And if I catch your mutt, I mean your thoroughbred mongrel, running loose without a leash,
00:03:08and without someone hanging on to that leash, you'll pay a $500 fine.
00:03:12We only paid three dollars for Daisy.
00:03:18Dagwood, you've got to talk to Daisy.
00:03:20I told her not to leave the yard this morning, and she disobeyed me.
00:03:23Yeah.
00:03:24Yesterday, she hit Cookie's doll.
00:03:25And the day before that, she tore up the Brady's newspaper.
00:03:27Oh.
00:03:28Oh.
00:03:29Oh, every spring, it's the same old story.
00:03:31She starts acting like a puppy, and we lead a dog's life.
00:03:33Yeah.
00:03:34Well, where is she now, huh?
00:03:35Well, I don't know.
00:03:36But if she isn't here by the time I count three, she gets no ice cream on Sunday.
00:03:42One.
00:03:43Two.
00:03:44I knew that would work.
00:03:45You talk to her, Dagwood, and I'll fix your breakfast.
00:03:46Oh, Blondie, I'm too tired for a father-daughter talk this morning.
00:03:59I stayed up half the night working on our budget.
00:04:01We got a lot of bills, Blondie.
00:04:03Cookies, tonsils, $115, Alexander's teeth, $75, Blondie's cold, $85, Dagwood's tie, $0.85.
00:04:13Drink your orange juice, dear.
00:04:15Yeah.
00:04:16Oh, how are we ever going to pay everybody, Blondie?
00:04:19I'll loan you $0.10, Daddy.
00:04:21Oh, now isn't that sweet, Dagwood?
00:04:24You don't have to, darling.
00:04:26Daddy will take care of everything.
00:04:28That's what Daddies are for, to work hard and take care of their families.
00:04:32Yeah.
00:04:33Daddies are supposed to worry.
00:04:35Uh-huh.
00:04:36And if Daddies don't want to worry, they're supposed to ask for a raise at the office.
00:04:40Well, I guess I could ask Mr. Dithers for a raise, I guess, maybe?
00:04:44Gosh, Daddy.
00:04:45I hope I'm as brave as you are when I grow up.
00:04:48Thank you, Alexander.
00:04:53Good morning.
00:04:54Hope you don't mind my barging you without knocking.
00:04:56Oh, that's all right, Tommy.
00:04:59Dagwood, this is our new neighbor, Tommy Cooper.
00:05:02This is Mr. Bumstead.
00:05:03Hi, Tommy.
00:05:04How do you do, Mr. Bumstead?
00:05:05Tommy's quite a student.
00:05:07I think you'll be a good influence on Alexander.
00:05:09Oh, yeah.
00:05:10Mr. Bumstead, I'm reading some anatomy books.
00:05:13But I must say that the shape of your head is most unusual.
00:05:16Oh, it is.
00:05:17Well...
00:05:18Did your nurse ever drop you when you were a baby?
00:05:20No.
00:05:21You see, I never had to...
00:05:23Now, see here.
00:05:25I...
00:05:26Hey, I'm late.
00:05:27Children, your father's leaving Alexander.
00:05:29Open the door.
00:05:30Hurry up.
00:05:31Come on.
00:05:32Come on.
00:05:33Oh, my God.
00:05:34Go on.
00:05:35Come on.
00:05:36Come on.
00:05:37Come on.
00:05:38Come on.
00:05:39Come on.
00:05:40Come on.
00:05:41Come on.
00:05:56New door carriage.
00:05:57New doll carriage.
00:06:02Ten dollars.
00:06:09Yes, Mary?
00:06:10Mr. Diddy, I've got that long-distance call through to Mr. Rutledge.
00:06:13Good, put him on.
00:06:15Hello, Mr. Rutledge.
00:06:17I just wanted to find out when you'll be in town.
00:06:19About two weeks?
00:06:20Oh, that's fine.
00:06:22Our plans will be all ready for you by then.
00:06:23I've had one of my men, Dagwood Bumstead, working on them day and night.
00:06:27In fact, I expect him in at any moment with the first complete draft.
00:06:30I'll be looking for you.
00:06:32Goodbye.
00:06:35Let's see now.
00:06:36This week, I'll pay for one tonsil, two of Alexander's cavities, two...
00:06:42Hello, Wally.
00:06:44Having money trouble again, eh?
00:06:46Yeah.
00:06:48Dag, how'd you like to borrow $300?
00:06:51How'd I?
00:06:52Hey, guys, I certainly would.
00:06:54So would I.
00:06:54You know anybody who's got it?
00:06:58Say, Ollie, do you think you know who is in?
00:07:02I guess so.
00:07:03Say, you're not going to ask for you know what.
00:07:06Yeah, I'll probably get it you know when.
00:07:08Look, Dag.
00:07:11If you're going to tackle tithers for a race, do it differently.
00:07:14Use psychology.
00:07:15Don't start writing and ask him for more gold.
00:07:18Oh, shh.
00:07:19No, sort of gradually work up to it.
00:07:21Talk about the weather.
00:07:23Crack a joke.
00:07:24Crack a joke?
00:07:25Yeah.
00:07:26Flatter the old goat.
00:07:27Then crack down and let him have it.
00:07:30Do you think it would work?
00:07:31All he can do is say no.
00:07:34But he has so many different ways of saying it.
00:07:39Yes, Mary?
00:07:39Mrs. Bumstead would like to talk to you.
00:07:41Oh, she would.
00:07:42Put her on.
00:07:45Good morning, Blondie.
00:07:46What can I do for you?
00:07:50Dagwood left to Rutledge's plans at home?
00:07:53Oh, for heaven's sake.
00:07:55What's that?
00:07:56No, no.
00:07:57Don't bring them down, Blondie.
00:07:59I'll take care of it.
00:08:00Goodbye.
00:08:02Now, are you sure it'll work?
00:08:03Sure, if you use my approach.
00:08:05Remember?
00:08:06Weather, joke, flattery, phrase.
00:08:09Yeah.
00:08:20Good morning, Mr. Dithers.
00:08:22Weather.
00:08:23Oh, isn't this wonderful weather?
00:08:25Makes you feel like working.
00:08:28Does it?
00:08:29Oh, yes.
00:08:31A joke.
00:08:35Something amuses you, Dagwood?
00:08:36Yes, I heard the funniest story on the bus.
00:08:39Gee, enslaved me.
00:08:40I heard something on the telephone.
00:08:41It enslaved me, too.
00:08:42Yeah.
00:08:43Well, after I get through telling my story, you can tell me yours.
00:08:46I intend to.
00:08:47Oh, fine.
00:08:48This is my story, Mr. Dithers.
00:08:51It seems there was a clerk at a bank.
00:08:54You can stop right there.
00:08:55The clerk...
00:08:56I don't want to hear your story.
00:08:59You don't?
00:08:59Oh, well, uh, oh, Flannery.
00:09:05You know, J.C., in all the years that I've been working for you, I've never seen you looking, so, uh, huh?
00:09:13How am I looking, Dagwood?
00:09:16I can't think of the word.
00:09:19Maybe I ought to go to my office.
00:09:21Dagwood!
00:09:22Huh?
00:09:23Well, here, you nitwit.
00:09:25I know you were hinting for a raise, but when you do stupid things like leaving those Rutledge plans at home, I could...
00:09:30Oh, I did forget them, didn't I?
00:09:32I just hope you made the necessary changes in those garage specifications.
00:09:35Huh?
00:09:35Well, did you?
00:09:38You didn't.
00:09:40Oh, how tortured can one get?
00:09:44Well, you see, Mr. Dithers, I was working on my budget last night, and I need $300 awful bad.
00:09:49$300?
00:09:50How can you speak of small change like that when you know I'm trying to borrow $100,000 from Simon Rutledge?
00:09:56Whether I get it or not depends on those post-war housing plans you left at home.
00:10:02Dagwood, I could shoot you!
00:10:05Oh, Mr. Dithers, I didn't think you'd do it to me.
00:10:14Take care of Blondie and the children and Daisy and the five little puppies.
00:10:18Get up, you idiot.
00:10:19I didn't shoot you.
00:10:20Huh?
00:10:21Those enigmatic drills, they're fixing the street.
00:10:23They are?
00:10:24Oh, my.
00:10:26Oh, Mr. Dithers, I'm just a bundle of nerves.
00:10:29I didn't get enough sleep last night.
00:10:31Well, if this drilling keeps up, you won't get any work done today.
00:10:34Well, since you left the plans at home, you better do your work there.
00:10:37Oh, work at home?
00:10:38Oh, that'll be nice.
00:10:40It'll be nice and quiet.
00:10:43What's that?
00:10:44That'll be quiet.
00:10:46Quiet!
00:10:48Quiet!
00:10:49Oh, excuse me.
00:10:51I didn't mean to yell.
00:10:57Quiet.
00:10:57What are they doing here?
00:11:12Well, you never know what's going to happen in a neighborhood fracas.
00:11:15Oh, Tommy, you didn't call the police.
00:11:17Well, I just became aware of something.
00:11:18What's going on here?
00:11:19Oh, nothing at all, officer.
00:11:21Mrs. Brady and I were just having a little argument.
00:11:23That ain't the way we heard it.
00:11:25Somebody called headquarters and said two women had opened up a second front on Shady Lane Avenue.
00:11:30I'm sure Mrs. Brady and I can settle our little discussion without the aid of the law.
00:11:35Oh, I don't know about that.
00:11:37Maybe the law is what we need around here.
00:11:43Blondie!
00:11:44Hello, Blondie.
00:11:46Ellie, can't...
00:11:46Oh, it's my fault.
00:11:48They're not to blame.
00:11:49I'm responsible for everything that's happened.
00:11:52What has happened?
00:11:54Dagwood, what are you doing home?
00:11:55You haven't been fired.
00:11:57Oh, no, you see, Mr. D...
00:11:58Oh, never mind that.
00:11:59What has happened?
00:12:00I'll tell you what's happened.
00:12:02Your dog, Daisy, chased my cat, Henry, up a tree.
00:12:06And Henry's so sensitive, he might not come down for days.
00:12:09You shouldn't have told me that, lady.
00:12:11I won't sleep a wink tonight.
00:12:13Let's go, Bill.
00:12:14Well, aren't you going to do something about that dog running around loose?
00:12:17That's my department, lady.
00:12:19Well, where is she?
00:12:21Who, Daisy?
00:12:22Oh, she's in the house.
00:12:23I hope.
00:12:25I think I'll have a look around.
00:12:26And let me tell you what that dog did last week when I just hung my laundry on the line.
00:12:45Oh, how do you do?
00:12:46I'm a reporter.
00:12:47I heard the police siren and followed the car over.
00:12:49What's going on?
00:12:50Oh, Daisy Bumstead chased Henry Brady up a tree.
00:12:53Yeah?
00:12:54What did the Bumstead dame do?
00:12:55Catch Brady with another gal?
00:12:57Oh, no, no.
00:12:58Daisy's a dog and Henry's a cat.
00:13:00Oh, fine.
00:13:01I can see the headlines now.
00:13:03Dog chases cat.
00:13:05Enter the Friars reporter.
00:13:06Oh, great scoop.
00:13:07Oh, wait a minute.
00:13:08Wait a minute.
00:13:09Maybe I can give you a story about Daisy.
00:13:11Let me read this letter from my son.
00:13:14It's this one.
00:13:15Bob's in the Navy waiting to come home.
00:13:18Well, I sent him some pictures of a few pin-up girls and a snapshot of Daisy.
00:13:23And that's what he wrote back to me.
00:13:26Dear Mom, thanks for the pictures of the pretty girls, but I like the snapshot of Daisy best.
00:13:31So did my pals.
00:13:32In fact, we liked it so much that we voted Daisy as the dog we'd like to come home to.
00:13:37Well, tell her from me she's the Navy's pin-up pooch.
00:13:41Pin-up pooch.
00:13:42Not bad.
00:13:43Not bad at all.
00:13:44You know, I think I can do something with that.
00:13:46I thought you could.
00:14:06Frankly, I think Daisy should be tied up.
00:14:08And furthermore, I...
00:14:09Oh, crime is marching on and we're standing here.
00:14:12Now you, keep an eye on Henry.
00:14:16And you, tell your Daisy to stop chasing the boys.
00:14:21Come on, Bill.
00:14:23Blondie!
00:14:24Blondie, this man wants to see Daisy.
00:14:26Oh, what has she done now?
00:14:29Nothing, Blondie.
00:14:30He's from the city news.
00:14:31He wants to interview you about Daisy.
00:14:32She's going to be printed up in the newspaper.
00:14:35Daisy in the newspaper?
00:14:36Why?
00:14:37She's been voted the Navy's pin-up dog.
00:14:40Pin-up dog?
00:14:40Oh, no.
00:14:42Oh, Jack, but did you hear that?
00:14:44Our Daisy's going to be a celebrity.
00:14:46Yeah.
00:14:47Oh, goody, goody.
00:14:48Oh.
00:14:49Oh, goody, goody, goody, goody, goody, goody, goody, goody, goody, goody, goody, goody, goody, goody, goody, goody, goody, goody, goody, goody, goody, goody, goody, goody, goody, goody, goody, goody, goody, goody, goody, goody, goody, goody, goody, goody, goody, goody, goody, goody, goody, goody, goody, goody, goody, goody, goody, goody, goody, goody, goody, goody, goody, goody, goody, goody, goody, goody, goody, goody, goody, goody, goody, goody, goody, goody, goody, goody, goody, goody, goody, goody, goody,
00:15:19Mrs. Bumstead! Alexander!
00:15:22Mrs. Bumstead! Alexander! Mrs. Bumstead!
00:15:25Alexander! Mrs. Bumstead!
00:15:28Mrs. Bumstead! Mrs. Bumstead!
00:15:30Oh, Tommy, what's happened?
00:15:32Oh, look, Mrs. Bumstead! Davey!
00:15:34Oh, Davey on his!
00:15:36I just bought up a new stand.
00:15:38Jane, now Davey's a cover dog!
00:15:40Oh, excuse me.
00:15:43Blondie, did you see this?
00:15:45Oh, the children! It's been wonderful!
00:15:46You're gonna knock me over with a feather.
00:15:48Yes!
00:15:49Blondie, did you see this?
00:15:51Oh, yes!
00:15:56Oh, Daisy!
00:15:57Oh, Daisy!
00:16:01And you know what's happened to me.
00:16:03Say, I didn't call my father about this!
00:16:13We work on the plans all day
00:16:15and finish up by the end of the week.
00:16:16Yes, sir.
00:16:17Now tell Mary not to interrupt us.
00:16:19Mr. Dithers, Alexander wants to talk to his father.
00:16:22Mary, we are not to be interrupted.
00:16:25But he says it's important.
00:16:28All right. Take it and make it brief.
00:16:34Hello? Hello, Alexander.
00:16:37Is there anything wrong?
00:16:39I can't hear you.
00:16:40I can't hear you.
00:16:41All I can hear is mumbling.
00:16:42It's Daisy!
00:16:43She's in it!
00:16:44She's spread out all over!
00:16:46Wait a minute.
00:16:47What'd you say?
00:16:48Oh, I said it's Daisy!
00:16:49She's in it!
00:16:50She's spread out all over!
00:16:54Huh?
00:16:55Oh, no.
00:16:58Oh, no.
00:16:59I'm sorry.
00:17:00I think I'm going to faint.
00:17:01Oh, you mustn't do that, Dagwood, huh?
00:17:02You've got to hold on yourself.
00:17:03Huh?
00:17:04You know you can count on me to be your pillar of strength.
00:17:05Someone to lean on.
00:17:06She was such a cute little dog, Mr. Dithers.
00:17:07Every morning she'd lick the paper and run for my face.
00:17:08I mean, she'd lick for the run and paper my face.
00:17:09Oh, what am I saying?
00:17:10Oh, but at least she left her five children to take her place.
00:17:16Oh, they'll never do it.
00:17:17There's only one Daisy.
00:17:19Oh, no.
00:17:20I can't go on, Mr. Dithers.
00:17:23Oh, no.
00:17:24I can't go on, Mr. Dithers.
00:17:25You know, hold on yourself.
00:17:26You know you can count on me to be your pillar of strength,
00:17:27someone to lean on.
00:17:29She was such a cute little dog, Mr. Dithers.
00:17:31Every morning she'd lick the paper and run for my face.
00:17:34I mean, she'd lick for the run and paper my face.
00:17:35Oh, what am I saying?
00:17:38I can't go in, Mr. Dithers. I can't face it.
00:17:41Oh, but you've got to, Dagwood, for Blondie's sake.
00:17:43Blondie? Oh, I forgot about her.
00:17:46She must be in his pretty bed, and their children, too.
00:17:50All right, we'll go, Mr. Dithers. I'm all right now.
00:17:54I don't have to have your support.
00:17:57I... Oh.
00:18:05Come on away.
00:18:08Oh, I didn't know Daisy had so many friends.
00:18:15Please, please, let the dog's father through.
00:18:18Oh, Tommy, where's everybody, huh?
00:18:20In the living room. It's a good thing you came when you did.
00:18:23Your wife's worn out with the excitement, and Daisy's half-dead.
00:18:27Half-dead? You mean she isn't all dead yet?
00:18:30What?
00:18:31Maybe I could say a last goodbye to her, huh?
00:18:33Oh, you're bearing up well, Dagwood. Fine.
00:18:35There you are, Mrs. Kelly.
00:18:45Pin-up pooch. Huh?
00:18:58So she was hit and got spread out all over.
00:19:01Oh. Oh, she's alive!
00:19:03There you are, Mr. Carter.
00:19:08Now, Daisy and I can't give any more autographs. We're really awfully tired.
00:19:11Yeah, but I...
00:19:11No more autographs.
00:19:12Dagwood, are you home?
00:19:14Oh, isn't it exciting about Daisy?
00:19:16Yes, indeed.
00:19:17As soon as we heard about it, we left some very important work.
00:19:20Oh.
00:19:20Pardon me, Mrs. Daisy.
00:19:27Pardon me.
00:19:28Didn't you hear what the lady said? No more autographs.
00:19:31I don't want an autograph. I want to see the owner of Daisy.
00:19:34My name is Theodore Glaspy, and I represent an advertising company which represents Daisy soap.
00:19:39Use Daisy soap and smell as fresh as a daisy.
00:19:43I created that slogan.
00:19:44Interesting.
00:19:46Go along, Dagwood. I haven't finished saying everything I have to say to you.
00:19:48Oh, yes, Mr. Dennis.
00:19:49Oh, wait, dear. Don't you want to hear what the gentleman has to say?
00:19:53After all, you own Daisy, too.
00:19:54Oh, he does, does he? Well, we are going to put your dog to work.
00:19:58We feel that with all this national publicity that there's a great tie-up between her and Daisy soap.
00:20:03Oh, for heaven's sake. Let's go, Dagwood. This is a penny-ante deal.
00:20:07Oh, it is, eh?
00:20:08Well, it just so happens that my company is willing to pay Daisy $100 every time she poses for Daisy soap.
00:20:15And we believe we can use her indefinitely.
00:20:17Well, at $100? Gee, Mr. Dennis, that's more than you pay me.
00:20:24Um, exactly what would Daisy have to do?
00:20:27Well, we haven't planned the whole setup, but she'll pose for pictures, possibly with movie stars.
00:20:32Movie stars?
00:20:33Mm-hmm.
00:20:34Oh, Daisy, how would you like that?
00:20:37Mm-hmm.
00:20:40She isn't impressed, Mr. Glaspy.
00:20:42Oh, but think what you could do with all that extra money.
00:20:46Buy victory bonds and maybe the few luxuries that your husband's salary won't allow you to buy.
00:20:51Oh, see here.
00:20:51And I am sure there are bills that are crying to be paid.
00:20:55You must have been reading my mail.
00:20:58Then you can use that extra money.
00:21:01Here.
00:21:01No, here.
00:21:02Now, just to show our goodwill, here's $100 in advance.
00:21:06Now she's impressed.
00:21:13It's the deal, Mr. Glaspy.
00:21:15Uh-oh.
00:21:21So you want to shake on the deal, too, eh, Daisy?
00:21:24We always said Daisy ran the house, but we never thought she'd be paying the bills.
00:21:28No, we never did.
00:21:29Gee, Daddy, now you won't have to worry so much.
00:21:32Daisy can be the head of the family.
00:21:33That's right, Alexander.
00:21:35Now Daisy can be the head of the family.
00:21:37Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:21:46Surprise, Dagwood.
00:21:49Hello, Dagwood.
00:21:50Oh, Ronnie, Jake, it's good to see you.
00:21:54Oh, now, wait a minute.
00:21:55You didn't go and buy anything.
00:21:56Yes, I did.
00:21:57The sweetest little office.
00:21:59Yeah.
00:22:00Hmm.
00:22:02$48.50.
00:22:03You know, I told you we had to go easy this month.
00:22:05Now, don't get upset, dear.
00:22:07We can afford to get a few nice things now.
00:22:09I should think so now that Daisy's doing so well.
00:22:12Daisy's got good taste, hasn't she, Dagwood?
00:22:14Yes, she has.
00:22:16Oh, now, don't look so down in the mouth, Dagwood.
00:22:19I have something for you, too.
00:22:21Oh, you have?
00:22:22Mm-hmm.
00:22:23Oh.
00:22:24Oh, watch.
00:22:28Look at that.
00:22:29Just the kind I've always wanted.
00:22:31Look at that.
00:22:31So, Daisy played Santa Claus to you, too, huh, Dagwood?
00:22:34My, but she's generous.
00:22:36And, Dagwood, I bought some beautiful little sweaters for the children, the kind we've never
00:22:40been able to afford.
00:22:41Yeah, I can understand that.
00:22:43Can you take me to lunch, dear?
00:22:45Well...
00:22:46First, we'll stop in the bank, and I'll deposit another one of Daisy's checks.
00:22:49Another one?
00:22:49Yes, dear.
00:22:50Oh, we're building up a sizable bank account.
00:22:52Isn't that nice?
00:22:53If Daisy keeps on working, she'll be wearing the pants for the family, and you'll be wearing
00:22:57the leash.
00:22:58Oh, Ollie.
00:23:00Good morning, Alexander.
00:23:08Good morning.
00:23:10Daddy, I've got something I want to discuss with you.
00:23:14Yes?
00:23:14It's the business of Daisy.
00:23:16Oh, uh, what about her?
00:23:19Well, does she give me my 50 cents allowance for the week, or do you?
00:23:22Well, no, as a matter of fact, huh?
00:23:25Well, Tommy said that now that she's earning more money than you are, she's supporting the
00:23:29family.
00:23:29Yeah, well, you just tell that Tommy Cooper that no matter what Daisy earns, I'm still
00:23:33supporting the family.
00:23:35I must admit, Sonny, that, uh, after all, Daisy's earnings have come in handy, but as
00:23:41long as I sit at the head of the table, I'm the boss.
00:23:51Good morning, dear.
00:23:53Sit down and eat your breakfast.
00:23:54Yeah, but Daisy's in my chair.
00:23:56What difference does that make?
00:23:58She had the sniffles this morning, and I didn't want her to sit on the cold floor.
00:24:01What?
00:24:02But, Blondie, that...
00:24:04Well, Daisy, don't you hear the paper boy whistling?
00:24:15Go and get the paper.
00:24:16She doesn't do that anymore, dear.
00:24:18That's Elmer's job now.
00:24:21Oh, Elmer!
00:24:21Elmer, the newsboy whistled.
00:24:32Oh, um, may I serve you some cream, Daisy?
00:24:35After all, uh, you paid for it.
00:24:37Dagwood, I don't like your attitude.
00:24:39In fact, I haven't liked your attitude all week.
00:24:42You've treated Daisy like a dog.
00:24:43I think you need a lecture.
00:24:57And just think, Dagwood, Daisy has paid all our bills just by posing a few times.
00:25:03You should be grateful.
00:25:05I am, Blondie, but I want to pay them myself.
00:25:08I'm the breadwinner.
00:25:09Oh, Blondie, you know how a man feels about supporting his family?
00:25:13Yes, I know, dear.
00:25:15And someday you won't need Daisy's help at all.
00:25:23Oh, thank you, Elmer.
00:25:25That's a good boy.
00:25:28Hello, there.
00:25:29Good morning, Tommy.
00:25:30Waiting for Alexander?
00:25:31Yes and no.
00:25:33I was waiting for you to come along.
00:25:35I just found out about your amazing encounters with Mr. Bumstead.
00:25:39And I've decided I'd like to witness the phenomenon.
00:25:41The phenomenon?
00:25:43Oh, you mean about him knocking me down every morning?
00:25:46Well, I'm happy to say that those days are probably gone forever.
00:25:49He hasn't knocked me down in a week.
00:25:51He doesn't leave the house in a rush the way he used to.
00:25:55I don't understand what happened.
00:25:57Yes, indeed.
00:25:58We ought to be very happy, Daisy's doing so well.
00:26:00It isn't every dog who has a social security number and pays an income tax.
00:26:05Mommy, do you have to go with Daisy every time she marbles?
00:26:08Yes, dear.
00:26:10Daisy won't pose unless Mother's with her.
00:26:12You'll be all right with Mrs. Adams.
00:26:14She ought to be here in a minute, too.
00:26:15Oh, I'm late.
00:26:18Xander, cookie, your mother's leaving.
00:26:20Get the door open.
00:26:21Oh!
00:26:22Oh!
00:26:23Oh!
00:26:23Oh!
00:26:24Oh!
00:26:24Oh!
00:26:24Oh!
00:26:24Oh!
00:26:24Oh!
00:26:25Oh!
00:26:25Oh!
00:26:25Oh!
00:26:26Oh!
00:26:27Oh!
00:26:27Oh!
00:26:28Oh!
00:26:28Oh!
00:26:29Oh!
00:26:29Oh!
00:26:30Oh!
00:26:30Oh!
00:26:31Oh!
00:26:32Oh!
00:26:32Oh!
00:26:33Oh!
00:26:34Oh!
00:26:35Oh!
00:26:36Oh!
00:26:37Oh!
00:26:38Oh!
00:26:38I knew there was a catch to it.
00:26:48He's been training hard again.
00:26:55Goodbye!
00:26:56Bye!
00:26:57Bye!
00:26:58Bye!
00:26:58Bye!
00:27:01Oh, my God!
00:27:02Oh, look, Daddy!
00:27:03Huh?
00:27:04Daisy Bumstead!
00:27:05Daisy Bumstead!
00:27:07Daisy Bumstead!
00:27:08Imagine anybody writing fan mail to a dog.
00:27:10Well, if you'd like to know my opinion...
00:27:12I wouldn't.
00:27:13Very well, then.
00:27:14Come on, Alexander.
00:27:15We'll be late for school.
00:27:16Right.
00:27:17Oh!
00:27:17Oh, well, you come on in the house, Cookie.
00:27:19Miss Adams will be over here pretty soon, and Daddy's got to get to work.
00:27:22I wonder if there's Greyhound blood in that family.
00:27:30Oh, where is that, Miss Adams?
00:27:33I'm going to be late if she...
00:27:35Hello?
00:27:39Oh, hello, Miss Adams.
00:27:41We're waiting for you.
00:27:43You can't come over?
00:27:45Oh, but what'll I do with Cookie?
00:27:47Oh, it'll take her to the office?
00:27:50Oh, I can't do that, Miss Adams.
00:27:53Oh, no.
00:27:54And Mr. Dithers would be awful mad if I showed up with Cookie.
00:28:00Yes?
00:28:01Mr. Bumstead, I presume?
00:28:05Yes.
00:28:06That's me.
00:28:07I work for Blanky Leonard.
00:28:09You heard of him?
00:28:10Yes.
00:28:10He's the gangster.
00:28:11I mean, he's the nightclub owner.
00:28:16That's a little better, bud.
00:28:17He sent me here to talk a deal over with you.
00:28:20Oh, uh...
00:28:22You were with me?
00:28:23Yeah.
00:28:25Cookie, you run upstairs and get your hat and coat,
00:28:27and Daddy will take you to the office.
00:28:28Hi, Daddy.
00:28:29Yeah.
00:28:30Won't you sit...
00:28:31Huh?
00:28:32Look, Carl, I'll get right down to the facts.
00:28:43Blanky's got a girlfriend named Hazel.
00:28:45Hazel's crazy about dogs.
00:28:47She better get into the picture of that mother of yours,
00:28:49and she wants it.
00:28:50Oh, Daisy?
00:28:54Yeah, how much do you want for the pooch?
00:28:56Oh, we don't want to sell her.
00:28:57Ah, you don't understand me, Bumstead.
00:28:59Oh, yes, I do.
00:29:00Look, I...
00:29:01Hazel wants the dog.
00:29:03Blanky gets what Hazel wants.
00:29:07So, Bumstead, how much?
00:29:10Well, we...
00:29:11I...
00:29:11We couldn't sell her.
00:29:15Ain't that awful?
00:29:17He won't sell his Daisy.
00:29:18That's me, Daddy.
00:29:26Oh, yes, Cookie.
00:29:28It's too bad you don't want to do business legitimate.
00:29:31You know, that makes things kind of complicated.
00:29:34Yeah.
00:29:34You better sell it to us, Bumstead,
00:29:36because we're gonna get her anyhow.
00:29:38Yeah, but...
00:29:38Hey!
00:29:39Huh?
00:29:39Wait a minute.
00:29:41You're kind of clumsy with kids.
00:29:43What's the matter, baby?
00:29:45Did he hurt you?
00:29:46Huh?
00:29:47Ain't she hurt me there?
00:29:48You better think over what I said, Bumstead,
00:29:50and call me at Blackie's place.
00:29:52The Kit Kat Club.
00:29:54Goodbye, honey.
00:29:56Hey, you annoy me.
00:29:58How many times...
00:29:59I'm talking, and the guy's always been doing things.
00:30:01What's the matter with you, huh?
00:30:04Oh, come on, Cookie.
00:30:06Daddy, are those men going to take Daisy?
00:30:09Of course not.
00:30:11They were just talking through their hats.
00:30:13Like I'm talking through mine?
00:30:16Huh?
00:30:17Oh, no.
00:30:29Hmm.
00:30:30I see we have company today, huh?
00:30:33Is Mr. Tithers in his office?
00:30:35He came in about ten minutes ago.
00:30:36Oh, well, I hope he doesn't come out,
00:30:38because I want to put Cookie in my office before he sees her.
00:30:40So what if he does see her?
00:30:42What if he gets sore and fires you?
00:30:43You don't have to worry about money anymore.
00:30:45That little four-footed gold mine of yours is doing all right.
00:30:48Now, see here, Ollie.
00:30:49Shh.
00:30:50You want him to hear you?
00:30:51Of course not.
00:30:52No, Cookie, you just be as quiet as you can and follow Daddy.
00:31:00Hey, Wood.
00:31:00Since when did my office become a day nursery?
00:31:06Oh, well, you see, Blondie had to take Daisy to work,
00:31:09and nobody could take care of Cookie but me.
00:31:11Now, you'll be very quiet, won't you, Cookie?
00:31:14You see, Cookie!
00:31:16Oh, she won't make any noise, Mr. Tithers.
00:31:19Well, all right.
00:31:20She better stay out here where somebody can keep an eye on her,
00:31:22because I want you in my office.
00:31:23We're going to finish those plans today.
00:31:25Sure, Mr. Tithers.
00:31:26We'll finish them.
00:31:27Now, come on, Cookie.
00:31:28You can sit at a desk and make believe you're Daddy.
00:31:31I don't want to sleep.
00:31:35Come on, over here.
00:31:41There you are.
00:31:50We won't be bothered anymore now, Mr. Tithers.
00:31:52Cookie promised to be quiet.
00:31:54Good.
00:31:55Well, very good.
00:31:55We just have to change this community house, and we're through.
00:31:58Oh, boy, I hope Mr. Rutledge likes our plans.
00:32:01You'll get your loan, and I'll get my bonus.
00:32:04And Blondie ought to be impressed when I show her what I can earn.
00:32:08And Daisy will sit up and take notice, too.
00:32:10Quiet.
00:32:11Listen.
00:32:13I don't hear anything.
00:32:14It's just this.
00:32:15It's too quiet out there.
00:32:16I got somebody.
00:32:38Somebody.
00:32:38Now, don't tell me.
00:32:41I, I, I, but I, I know.
00:32:43Oh, yeah.
00:32:44I know.
00:32:44It's, it.
00:32:45Ah, it's Joe.
00:32:47No, it isn't Joe.
00:32:48Now, wait a minute.
00:32:49I said, gee, this is fun.
00:32:51Hi.
00:32:51Hi.
00:32:53Let me see.
00:32:54Who is it?
00:32:54I can't hear.
00:32:55I can't hear.
00:32:59Mr. Tithers.
00:33:01Oh, uh, I'm sorry, Mr. Tithers.
00:33:07I'll put Cook in my office.
00:33:10Now, kiddies, the play hour is over.
00:33:12So they'll all get back to work.
00:33:14Yes, sir.
00:33:18Here there.
00:33:20Daddy, let's call up Mr. Tithers.
00:33:22Yeah, no, no, don't, don't touch that, honey.
00:33:25Here.
00:33:25Now, here.
00:33:26You sit right over here.
00:33:29There you are.
00:33:30Yeah, nice pencil and paper.
00:33:32And I want you to draw Daddy some nice pictures, huh?
00:33:35Okay.
00:33:37Bye.
00:33:37Bye-bye.
00:33:44Hooray.
00:34:00Mr. Denny's, this community house will make history.
00:34:17Well, I hope Simon Rudleys thinks so.
00:34:31Of course, we could cut a new door in there.
00:34:34It's a good idea.
00:34:36Hello, Cookie.
00:34:37Hello, sweetheart.
00:34:38On the other hand, the...
00:34:39Oh, now, Jaguar, don't go to pieces.
00:34:49Now, you just brace yourself and leave this to me.
00:34:53Now, just leave this all to me.
00:34:54Cookie?
00:35:00Huh?
00:35:02Cookie?
00:35:03Cookie?
00:35:03Cookie?
00:35:03Cookie, go away.
00:35:06Don't worry.
00:35:12Don't worry.
00:35:13Don't worry, Cookie.
00:35:14Don't be afraid now.
00:35:15Oh, get her out of here, Tagwood.
00:35:17Take her back to Blondie.
00:35:20I'm getting too old.
00:35:21I can't take this sort of thing anymore.
00:35:22Well, I've aged 10 years in the last two minutes myself.
00:35:25Get her out of here.
00:35:26All right.
00:35:27Come on, Cookie.
00:35:28Don't worry.
00:35:29Daddy will take you to Mommy.
00:35:30Give me Cookie.
00:35:31Excuse me.
00:35:46I was looking for my wife.
00:35:47Does she work here?
00:35:48Well, not exactly.
00:35:49She's here with my dog, Daisy.
00:35:51Oh, I see.
00:35:52Mr. Bumpstead, hello.
00:35:54And hello, little Cookie.
00:35:56Want to see your wife, Mr. Bumpstead?
00:35:57Yes, I wanted her to take Cookie off my hands.
00:36:00Oh, well, she's in the studio with Daisy now,
00:36:02and the child might be in the way.
00:36:04But you can leave her with Miss Emery,
00:36:05and then you can pop in and see your wife.
00:36:07Oh, that'll be nice.
00:36:08Oh, and now, Cookie, you stay here with the nice lady.
00:36:10But don't walk outside the window.
00:36:20See, our advertising firm maintains its photographic studio.
00:36:24In these rooms, we have models posing for everything
00:36:27from helicopters to hair towels.
00:36:30Oh, Mr. Glassby, I'm just trying to get you in your office.
00:36:33Will you come in here a moment?
00:36:34Certainly, John.
00:36:35Oh, you go right ahead, Mr. Bumpstead.
00:36:37Your wife is in Studio 5 with Anthony, our head photographer.
00:36:40Oh, all right.
00:36:42What beautiful eyes and such silky hair.
00:36:46You're really the loveliest thing I've ever seen.
00:36:48Do you really think so, Anthony?
00:36:51Why should I lie, Mrs. Bumpstead?
00:36:52I wish I could find someone as adorable and lovable as you.
00:36:56Oh.
00:37:00Yes, indeed, Daisy, you're a cutie.
00:37:03Huh?
00:37:05Why, Dad would.
00:37:06What a surprise.
00:37:07Uh, this is my husband.
00:37:09And this is Anthony, dear.
00:37:10He's been saying the nicest things to Daisy.
00:37:12Yeah?
00:37:13I photographed all kinds of dogs, Mr. Bumpstead, but Daisy is tops as far as I'm concerned.
00:37:18You're a lucky man to own this valuable piece of property.
00:37:21Thanks.
00:37:21Okay.
00:37:23I think we're ready for one more pose, Mrs. Bumpstead.
00:37:25Whenever you're ready, Anthony.
00:37:28Dad, boy.
00:37:29I'm so glad you came to watch Daisy work.
00:37:32Oh, I brought Cookie with me, too, but the young lady in the reception room is taking care of her.
00:37:36Well, what happened to Mrs. Adams?
00:37:38Well, she couldn't come over and...
00:37:39Mrs. Bumpstead, we're ready.
00:37:41Oh, all right, Anthony.
00:37:42Wait till you see Daisy all dressed up.
00:37:46Trouble, trouble, trouble.
00:37:47Always at the last minute.
00:37:48One of our male models just got word that his wife gave birth to twins, and he fainted.
00:37:53Twice.
00:37:54Puts us in a bad spot.
00:37:56We've got to get set on this ad today.
00:37:58It's not going to be easy to get a substitute at this late date.
00:38:01You see, he's got a look sort of, uh, uh...
00:38:05Come on, Daisy.
00:38:11Daisy, come on.
00:38:18Oh, you darling, you, you sweet, sweet, thick, thick.
00:38:26There we are now.
00:38:27Come on, sit down.
00:38:28All right.
00:38:37Is there something wrong?
00:38:39No, indeed.
00:38:40Oh, Mr. Bumpstead, how would you like to become a model?
00:38:43Huh?
00:38:43Where do you begin?
00:38:45Oh, there.
00:38:46Oh, you'll be perfect for this ad.
00:38:49And as I told you before, we do need someone very badly.
00:38:53Oh, no, no, no.
00:38:54I couldn't, Mr. Glasby.
00:38:55I, I, I don't know how to model.
00:38:57Well, all you have to do is to pose and get paid for it.
00:39:00Yes, but...
00:39:00Oh, it's very...
00:39:01Now, don't move, Daisy.
00:39:03I think we can take it now.
00:39:04Jimmy, get your fans going.
00:39:05All right.
00:39:12Here we go, Daisy.
00:39:14Now, steady.
00:39:15Hold it.
00:39:18Swell.
00:39:19That's it.
00:39:20You can stop posing, Daisy.
00:39:22Oh.
00:39:24Now, Daisy, it's all over.
00:39:28Oh, that's another hundred dollars for our smart little girl.
00:39:32Oh.
00:39:35What do you pay models, Mr. Glasby?
00:39:37The top prices in town.
00:39:38It's a deal I'll pose.
00:39:40Great.
00:39:40I'll tell Miss Emery that we found our man.
00:39:42Now, you go into Studio 4 and I'll meet you there.
00:39:44Yeah.
00:39:45Careless.
00:39:53Dagwood, did you see Daisy?
00:39:55Oh, yes, yes, I did.
00:39:57Isn't it cute the way she poses?
00:39:58I'm going to do a little posing myself.
00:40:01You are?
00:40:01Mr. Glasby thinks I'm a perfect type for a certain ad, and incidentally, I'll be well
00:40:06paid for my work.
00:40:07Oh, Dagwood, how wonderful.
00:40:10How much?
00:40:11Well, I don't know, but I guess if animals get a hundred dollars for posing, humans ought
00:40:16to get a lot more.
00:40:17Well, I've got to go to Studio 4 now and get ready.
00:40:20All right, do you look a bum bum?
00:40:23Maybe they'll let me watch you, Dagwood.
00:40:25First, I'll take care of Daisy and Cookie, and then I'll come right in and see you.
00:40:28Oh, if you like.
00:40:37He's eating a bum bum.
00:40:42Well, Mr. Bumstead, I guess we're all set.
00:40:45You can undress in this little room, yeah?
00:40:46I was...
00:40:47Undress?
00:40:48Yes, indeed.
00:40:49You're to pose for a bathing suit company.
00:40:50Oh.
00:40:52A bathing suit, huh?
00:40:53Oh, boy, way to Bobby finds that out.
00:40:56First, you'll pose in an old-fashioned bathing suit, then you'll put on our new streamlined
00:41:01peachy-beachy suit.
00:41:02The job will only take an hour or two.
00:41:04Oh, I've got all the time in the world.
00:41:06What am I saying?
00:41:06Mr. Dithers expects me back to the office.
00:41:09Maybe I'd better call him, huh?
00:41:10Oh, well, here, you can use that phone right over there.
00:41:11Oh, yeah.
00:41:16Warren, 5748.
00:41:21Yes, Mary?
00:41:22Dike, what's on the phone, Mr. Dithers?
00:41:24The phone?
00:41:25Why, you ought to be back in the office.
00:41:28What is it now?
00:41:31Say that again.
00:41:32It sounded as though you said you were going to be a model.
00:41:34You are?
00:41:37Yes, Mr. Dithers.
00:41:38I figured during my lunch hour I could make some money posing.
00:41:42For peanuts, I suppose.
00:41:44Oh, for bathing suits.
00:41:47Well, be sure you don't go over your lunch hour.
00:41:49We've still got work to do.
00:41:51Oh, I'll be right back soon as I finish, Mr. Dithers.
00:41:53No, there's nothing here that'll detain me.
00:41:56Yeah, I know.
00:41:57We'll get the work done today.
00:41:58Ah.
00:41:59Yeah.
00:42:00Well, you see, J.C., I've got some ideas about changing a few figures.
00:42:04Well, what kind of figures, Dagwood?
00:42:07Dagwood!
00:42:09Well, talk, will you?
00:42:10What kind of figures are on your mind?
00:42:12Dagwood, say something!
00:42:15Andy!
00:42:18Oh.
00:42:20Mr. Glasby, I can't pose for you.
00:42:22What?
00:42:23Well, why not?
00:42:24Well, look.
00:42:26I don't think that you're kidding me.
00:42:29Oh, I'm sure your wife won't be jealous of him.
00:42:32Yeah, but you don't know Blondie.
00:42:33Oh, but she'll understand you haven't any interest in these girls.
00:42:36Why, she knows you wouldn't give one of them a single glance.
00:42:39As I was saying, you wouldn't give one of them a single glance.
00:42:43Oh, no, of course not.
00:42:44But Blondie will.
00:42:45I'd better call this off.
00:42:47Oh, but you can't.
00:42:48This ad must be done today.
00:42:50Yeah, but Blondie...
00:42:51Now, don't worry about her.
00:42:52I'll see that she doesn't come in here.
00:42:53But, oh, you want to earn some extra easy money, don't you?
00:42:57Why, of course you do.
00:42:59You just go into that dressing room.
00:43:01I'll take care of your wife.
00:43:02Oh, Mr. Grasby, is Dagwood ready to pose?
00:43:08Not yet, Mrs. Bumstead.
00:43:10However, there's a matter I want to discuss with you in my office.
00:43:13Oh, can it wait?
00:43:14I want to see Dagwood.
00:43:15Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
00:43:16Oh, I'm sorry.
00:43:17I didn't mean to raise my voice.
00:43:19I guess I'm a little nervous today.
00:43:21You see, Mrs. Bumstead, Dagwood told me he wanted to surprise you and show you the picture
00:43:26after it's made.
00:43:27But I...
00:43:28I knew you'd say yes.
00:43:37All right, let me see it.
00:43:40That's right, girls.
00:43:41You've got the idea.
00:43:43Bumstead, strike that pose I gave you.
00:43:55That's better.
00:43:55You see, Bumstead, the ad is going to read.
00:43:58You're as old-fashioned as this coot unless you wear a peachy-beachy suit.
00:44:02All right, girls.
00:44:04Give them the business.
00:44:06Bumstead, be yourself.
00:44:07Look like a doe.
00:44:11Now, listen.
00:44:12That's it.
00:44:13Perfect.
00:44:13Hold it.
00:44:14All right, boys.
00:44:14Hit your lights.
00:44:16Here we go.
00:44:19Hold it.
00:44:21Swell.
00:44:22Now, let's take a crack at the other one.
00:44:23The girls will think you're really cute when you wear your peachy-beachy suit.
00:44:28Now, girls, you stay right here in Bumstead.
00:44:30You get into your sarong.
00:44:32Sarong?
00:44:32I'll go ahead and change, Mr. Bumstead.
00:44:35Sure.
00:44:35Surprise us.
00:44:36Oh, I think the pictures are lovely, Mr. Bumstead.
00:44:44Now, can I see Dagwood?
00:44:45Uh, but now, Mrs. Bumstead...
00:44:47Well, why can't I see him?
00:44:49Because I promised him I'd keep you out.
00:44:51I mean, that is, he wants to surprise you with the finished picture.
00:44:56Goodness, it sounds like you two men are plotting something.
00:44:58Oh, what a silly idea, Mrs. Bumstead.
00:45:06I wish Daisy wouldn't do that.
00:45:08No, she wants to see Dagwood, too.
00:45:09Well, she can't.
00:45:13Oh, Daisy just ran into the car again.
00:45:15Oh, she'll be all right, Mrs. Bumstead.
00:45:17All right, girls, you can take your places now.
00:45:19Mr. Bumstead, we're ready for you.
00:45:20Yeah, it's a little crafty in here, isn't it?
00:45:33Oh, not bad.
00:45:35Well, look at him.
00:45:36You look good, Bumstead.
00:45:38Now, you take your same position.
00:45:39And girls, you know what to do this time.
00:45:41All right, come on.
00:45:42Come on, Dori.
00:45:43We'll get right over here.
00:45:44Now, let's make this a good one.
00:45:45Oh, no, no, no.
00:45:46Oh, no.
00:45:48Bumstead, aren't you enjoying yourself?
00:45:50You look as if you expected your wife to walk in any minute.
00:45:53Well, do they have to do what they're doing?
00:45:56A fine thing.
00:45:57The average man would pay to be in your spot,
00:45:59and you're complaining.
00:46:00I'm not an average man.
00:46:06Look at him.
00:46:12Woo!
00:46:14Woo!
00:46:16Isn't that Daisy in one of the studios?
00:46:18Well, of course not, Mrs. Bumstead.
00:46:20Let's go.
00:46:21Daisy, will you go on and scram?
00:46:24Can't you see I'm working?
00:46:25Woo!
00:46:26Woo!
00:46:29It is, Daisy.
00:46:31And she's giving the wolf call.
00:46:33Woo!
00:46:37Daisy, don't look at me like...
00:46:39Will you go on?
00:46:40Daisy, go on.
00:46:41Beat it.
00:46:41Can't you see I'm busy?
00:46:43You are, aren't you?
00:46:45Yes, I am.
00:46:46Blondie.
00:46:47Oh, excuse me, ladies.
00:46:49Oh, Blondie, I was just posing.
00:46:52So I see.
00:46:53Fun, isn't it?
00:46:54Oh, now, Blondie, I was just doing it to make as much money as Daisy.
00:46:58Why, Mr. Bumstead, I didn't say you'd get as much as Daisy.
00:47:01You're to be paid at our usual model rates, $7.50 per hour.
00:47:04And since you'll be posing for two hours, you'll earn $15.
00:47:06Uh, $15?
00:47:08So you were going to be paid more than Daisy.
00:47:11Evidently, it wasn't just the money that interested you.
00:47:14Oh, now, Blondie, you don't think...
00:47:18Blondie.
00:47:23Oh.
00:47:24I'm sorry, Dagwood.
00:47:26I tried to keep her out, but Daisy gave the show away.
00:47:28Daisy, Daisy, Daisy.
00:47:30That's all I've been hearing.
00:47:31Morning, noon, and night.
00:47:32Daisy's taking my place in the family.
00:47:34She's earning more money than I am, and now she's...
00:47:37She's got Blondie sore at me.
00:47:39Well, cheer up.
00:47:40Maybe after a little lunch, you'll see things differently.
00:47:42Lunch?
00:47:43Daisy keeps interfering with my life.
00:47:45I won't ever be able to eat.
00:47:49I'm not going to stand for it.
00:47:51I'm not going to let a dog run my house and family.
00:47:55I'll tell Blondie how I feel.
00:47:57I'm not afraid of her.
00:48:01Is that you, Blondie?
00:48:03No, it's us, Daddy.
00:48:07Hey, what are you two doing out of bed?
00:48:09What are you doing out of bed?
00:48:12Well, I couldn't sleep, so I thought I'd make myself a little sandwich.
00:48:17Cookie and I couldn't sleep either.
00:48:19We're not very happy.
00:48:21What's the matter, Alexander?
00:48:22It's Daisy.
00:48:24Yeah, Daisy.
00:48:25Daisy.
00:48:25Daisy.
00:48:25Ever since Daisy began working, home's been different.
00:48:36Yeah.
00:48:36Mommy has to spend so much time with her, we don't see Mommy very often.
00:48:40I might become a Jew and an elder Lincoln.
00:48:43Yeah, that's true.
00:48:45Mommy used to help me with my homework.
00:48:47But now she answers Daisy's fan mail.
00:48:50Yeah, I know how you feel, Alexander.
00:48:53Sometimes I wish Daisy would go away.
00:48:57And never come back.
00:48:59Do you both really feel that way?
00:49:02Don't you, Daddy?
00:49:04Yes, I do.
00:49:05Daisy was responsible for a lot of things happening today between your mother and me.
00:49:10Mr. Dithers is angry at me because I didn't go back to the office.
00:49:13Yes, I wish Daisy would go away.
00:49:16But I'm going to do something about it.
00:49:18Well, it's about time we decided who was head of this family.
00:49:21Okay.
00:49:33I thought I heard voices down here.
00:49:51Is this a private party or can anyone join in?
00:49:55Blondie, we were all a little hungry.
00:49:58I should think so.
00:49:59You three hardly ate anything at dinner.
00:50:01Yeah.
00:50:03Well, if you want me to leave, I'll...
00:50:08Oh, gosh, no, Blondie.
00:50:10This is a family affair.
00:50:12And I think it's time we had a family talk.
00:50:20Something's happened to us in the last few weeks.
00:50:22We've grown apart.
00:50:24And I think I know the reason.
00:50:26It's Daisy.
00:50:30Dagwood, you've resented her because she earns more than you.
00:50:33And you've both felt neglected because I've had to spend so much time with her.
00:50:37But don't you see that what Daisy is doing is for all of us?
00:50:41She's part of the family.
00:50:42And families aren't supposed to be jealous of each other.
00:50:46We all share in any good fortune that comes along.
00:50:50Now, just think over what I've said and see if you can't feel more kindly towards her.
00:50:54Oh, Dagwood, I want to apologize for this afternoon.
00:51:00I really didn't think you were interested in those, but...
00:51:05Peach Beachies.
00:51:07Oh.
00:51:09Oh.
00:51:09I sure feel better than I did.
00:51:13I must have been crazy thinking those things about Daisy.
00:51:17Wishing she was gone.
00:51:18Can you imagine this house without her around?
00:51:21Why, she grew up with you, Alexander.
00:51:24And she is one of the families.
00:51:25And families are supposed to pitch in and work together.
00:51:28And maybe someday, Daisy's earnings will send you two through college.
00:51:34And if Mr. Dithers ever really fires me, and I need a nest egg, Daisy will be right there
00:51:41with a helping paw.
00:51:43Let's not ever think of sending Daisy away.
00:51:47Let's forget we ever mention the whole thing.
00:51:53What are we waiting on?
00:51:56Oh, boy.
00:51:58Daisy.
00:52:04Daisy.
00:52:10Daisy.
00:52:13Dagwood, Cookie, Alexander.
00:52:16What's up, Blondingham?
00:52:30It's Daisy.
00:52:31She's gone.
00:52:34Gone where?
00:52:35Well, I don't know.
00:52:35I can't find her anywhere.
00:52:37Maybe she's missing a friend.
00:52:38Oh, she would have left word if she were.
00:52:40Oh, no.
00:52:41I know.
00:52:43The dog catcher.
00:52:44Maybe she was running around loose, and he picked her up.
00:52:50Oh, where is she?
00:52:53Huh?
00:52:54Don't pretend you don't know.
00:52:55You've got Daisy.
00:52:57No, I haven't.
00:52:57Honest.
00:52:58I come over here to get her autograph for my kid.
00:53:00Yep.
00:53:01And I brought her some chopped meat.
00:53:04You did?
00:53:09You mean she's gone?
00:53:13She wouldn't have run away.
00:53:15Maybe she did.
00:53:17Oh, Alexander, what do you mean?
00:53:19Last night, before you came down, Daddy and Cookie and I sort of mentioned we wished Daisy would leave.
00:53:26She might have heard us.
00:53:27But later, you said you wanted Daisy to leave.
00:53:31Yeah, but...
00:53:32You three really said that?
00:53:34Yes, but...
00:53:35Oh, how could you?
00:53:38I...
00:53:38I...
00:53:39I can't believe it.
00:53:42Of course she must have heard you, poor darling, poor little girl.
00:53:54I'll call the newspapers.
00:53:56She must be around the neighborhood.
00:54:02Will you get me the city news, please?
00:54:05If anything's happened to her, I'll...
00:54:07I'll never forgive you.
00:54:09City news.
00:54:10I want the lost and found department, please.
00:54:15I can see her now, roaming through the streets, hiding behind ash cans, eating stale bits of bread.
00:54:23Hello.
00:54:24Lost and found department.
00:54:26I want to report a missing dog.
00:54:29What kind of dog?
00:54:31Well, she's sort of a...
00:54:33Terrier, Cocker Spaniel, Schnauzer, Scotty, and Poodle.
00:54:38You don't mean Daisy.
00:54:40Daddy misses his little girl.
00:55:01If Daddy doesn't get down to work, he's going to miss a nice fat bonus.
00:55:05But, Mr. Dithers, I...
00:55:06Now, look here, Dagwood.
00:55:08I know how you feel about Daisy.
00:55:10I feel bad myself that she's missing.
00:55:12But she'll come back.
00:55:13Meanwhile, there's no point fretting about her.
00:55:15Now, Simon Rutledge will be here any minute.
00:55:17You've got to be on your toes when we talk to him.
00:55:19Dagwood, we've simply got to sell him on our plans so we can borrow that money.
00:55:22I know, Mr. Dithers.
00:55:24I can't think about anything when I'm thinking about Daisy.
00:55:27What if she's hurt or hungry?
00:55:28I wake up at night hearing her calling, Dagwood, Blondie.
00:55:33Stop humanizing that dog and putting words in her mouth.
00:55:38For all you know, she's coming up the front walk right now saying,
00:55:42I'm home, Mommy and Poppy.
00:55:44You've got me doing it.
00:55:46Come into my office.
00:55:47Oh, Daisy, where are you?
00:55:59What a cute'em she is.
00:56:01Such a wittle honey bunny.
00:56:05Hi, boys.
00:56:06Oh, boy.
00:56:07Gather around.
00:56:07I got some news.
00:56:08Well, Aggie, darling, see what the boys found for Hazel Wazel?
00:56:12So that's the pooch you've been wanting, huh?
00:56:13What's it supposed to be?
00:56:15So she isn't a thoroughbred, but I want her, understand?
00:56:18She looks kind of helpless, like me.
00:56:21As long as you're happy, baby.
00:56:23Who got it for her?
00:56:24Joe and me.
00:56:25We were leaving the club early this morning
00:56:27when we pipes the mud coming down the street, so we grabs her.
00:56:30Didn't even put up a fight.
00:56:32Well, we're going to have a fight on our hands
00:56:33if we don't get out of town right away.
00:56:35The cops are wise to the last deal of ours,
00:56:37and we're plenty hot.
00:56:38We'll take Daisy, won't we?
00:56:40Yeah, we'll take Daisy.
00:56:42I don't think we should, boss.
00:56:43They got a plate up in all the papers.
00:56:45Yeah, and they even stopped in all the cars
00:56:46and slashing them for her.
00:56:48Yeah?
00:56:48Well, that's not too good.
00:56:50We'll have to leave her then.
00:56:52You know, we can't get caught for stealing a month.
00:56:55I won't go unless Daisy does.
00:56:57Oh, baby, please.
00:57:01Wait a minute.
00:57:02I got an idea.
00:57:04Sure.
00:57:05Sure we can take the pooch.
00:57:08I'll get Doc to do some work on her.
00:57:10If he can change a guy's kisser,
00:57:11he ought to be able to do a little plastic work on her dog.
00:57:13Plastic work.
00:57:14But I like Daisy the way she is.
00:57:16Oh, now, honey, look.
00:57:17As long as we have to have the dog with us,
00:57:19we'll be dead pigeons.
00:57:21Now, the Doc can change her eyes,
00:57:23make him smaller,
00:57:24and he can shorten the tail,
00:57:27dye the hair another color,
00:57:29and lop off those long ears.
00:57:33Say, when we get through with that pooch,
00:57:34even her own father wouldn't recognize her.
00:57:36you're too slow.
00:57:37Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.

01:07:41Wake up.
01:07:41Goodness, I wonder what's going on in there.
01:08:00I think I'll take a look at the floor, shall we?
01:08:06My body's crowded in there.
01:08:21I'm going in.
01:08:23After all, I made a marriage vow that I'd stick with Dagwood for better or worse.
01:08:26And things seem to be getting worse all the time.
01:08:47Blondie!
01:08:47This happens to be my dog.
01:08:53Oh, yeah?

01:09:00I'll count three, and then I want the dog.
01:09:02One, two, three.
01:09:18Well, Blondie's got Daisy.

01:10:32Oh, Blondie!
01:10:37This is the most exciting business deal I ever tried to say.
01:10:43Gee, Blondie, I don't care if Daisy is the breadwinner for the family.
01:10:46As long as we're all together.
01:10:48You're right, Dagwood.
01:10:50Nothing matters but the five of us.
01:10:57I mean the ten of us.
01:10:59Yeah.
