00:00You have a date with the Angel, starring Betty White, Bill Williams as Gus Angel, presented
00:29by Plymouth, star of the forward look, and the Plymouth Dealers of America.
00:42The time, nearly seven months after Vicki and Gus Angel were married.
00:47The place, a full house.
00:49The plot, a missed deal.
00:55Six plots in a row.
00:57With my luck, it's a wonder I ain't beautiful.
01:00Lover, anybody says you ain't beautiful has got to fight me.
01:03I get in more fights that way.
01:07Any up.
01:08Okay.
01:10There we are.
01:11Hey, that's mine.
01:13What's the difference? It's all community property.
01:19All right, Cassie, let's not get jerky about it.
01:22Are you looking for a fat-lipped lover?
01:24Yes, he tells me your son's due home from the Navy pretty soon, Merton.
01:30Oh, yeah.
01:31Yeah, we don't know exactly when.
01:33You know, we haven't seen him in about two years.
01:35You'll love him, Vicki.
01:36He's a wonderful kid.
01:38That kind of knocks me out a little, too, because he's got such a penny-pinching miser for a mother.
01:43And his father's about to meet with a nasty accident.
01:48I got news for you.
01:50His father is married to a nasty accident.
01:54Yeah?
01:55Yeah.
01:56When you get tired of him, kids, just throw him out in the alley with the rest of the trash.
02:07Cassie!
02:07You forgot to say goodbye to Gus and Vicki!
02:10That dame's got absolutely no manners.
02:14Good night, kids.
02:15We had a swell time.
02:17Cassie!
02:18How can people live that way?
02:26Beats me.
02:27I know I couldn't.
02:29What a thing to say to your husband.
02:32You looking for a fat lip.
02:36Lover, that's the word that frosted me.
02:38You looking for a fat-lipped lover?
02:43Gus, if we ever talked like that to each other, I'd think the world was coming to an end.
02:47Oh, honey, that'll be the day.
02:53Oh, I loved it when you harpooned me with that crack.
02:58His father's going to meet with a nasty accident.
03:02Oh, that was beautiful.
03:03His father's married to a nasty accident.
03:07That's the one I like.
03:09You got a good, quick mind, lover.
03:12Hey, did I leave my purse over to Vicki's?
03:15Oh, that purse of yours never stays put.
03:17Sometimes I think it's a liar.
03:19Well, it ain't here.
03:20I must have left it there.
03:21Well, there's one way to find out.
03:23You know, lover, I'm really worried about those two kids.
03:27Who, Gus and Vicki?
03:29Yeah.
03:30My boss.
03:31What?
03:32Oh, Vicki?
03:34Murph.
03:35Yeah.
03:36Did my fat-headed wife leave her purse up there?
03:39Oh, good.
03:41Good, I'll be right up and get her.
03:43Oh, you don't have to do that.
03:45Oh, really, it's...
03:46Okay.
03:48Thanks.
03:50She's bringing it down.
03:51Oh, well...
03:52Now, what are you worried about them for?
03:54Oh, lover, you won't believe this,
03:56but do you know those kids have been married for almost seven months
03:59and they ain't even had one fight with one another yet?
04:02Well, so they've been married for...
04:04Oh.
04:04You're kidding.
04:05No, she told me in so many words.
04:08How can people live like that?
04:09Beats me, it's only common sense
04:14that you've got to clear the air once in a while.
04:16You think they know that?
04:17Well, I was wondering, Murph,
04:19do you suppose maybe you might have a little talk with Gus
04:22and in a nice way and sort of...
04:23Oh, sure.
04:24Gee, I'd hate to see those kids break up.
04:26Oh, so would I.
04:29Well, that must be a stranger.
04:31Everybody else knows to use the back door.
04:33Enter, friend.
04:41Here's the purse.
04:43Where's Cassie?
04:44She, uh, left me for a stranger.
04:49You just let her go?
04:52She'll be back.
04:54Me and Cassie have been talking.
04:56Is it true that you and Gus never had a fight?
04:58Never!
04:59Emma's on his way!
05:01Our baby's on his way!
05:03Oh, Vicki, our baby's coming home!
05:05Oh, Cassie, I'm happy.
05:07Boy, I'm happy for both of you.
05:09Mike, my boy, Mike.
05:11Wait till you see him, Vicki.
05:12Oh, this kid's got strength.
05:14He's got a belt like iron.
05:15Hard as nails, ain't he, Lover?
05:17Oh, Emma's a great boy.
05:19Wait a minute, which one's coming home,
05:21Emmett or Mike?
05:22Both of them.
05:23Emma's Michael Murphy.
05:25The Emmett was her idea.
05:26His real name is Mike Murphy.
05:29Vicki, this kid.
05:29This kid is so tough that when he joined the Navy,
05:34they put three destroyers in mothballs.
05:38A real be-going Paul Bunyan.
05:41Are you kidding?
05:43The Navy don't take guys with bum feet.
05:47Here's a picture of him when he joined up.
05:50Oh, he was just learning how to shave.
05:53Turn off the waterworks, will you?
05:57Here, let me see that wire.
05:59Doesn't say anything about the time.
06:01All it says, he's coming in on San Pedro on the 23rd.
06:04That's tomorrow.
06:05I know what day it is.
06:07I just don't know what time it is.
06:08You never did.
06:11You're going to get smart again, aren't we?
06:13Isn't there some way of checking on the time?
06:15I'm going down at sunrise to the pier
06:17and wait for my baby to get off that boat.
06:19If Mike hears you call his ship a boat,
06:21he'll give you a belt right between the eyes.
06:23Just try it.
06:25And get another thing through that cardboard skull of yours.
06:28Mike ain't no baby.
06:29I'll call my baby, my baby
06:31any time I want to call my baby, my baby
06:34and you won't stop.
06:36His name is Michael Murphy.
06:37I gave it to him.
06:39I'll give you a fat lip, lover.
06:41Now watch it.
06:42You're done.
06:49Well, hi.
06:50How do you do?
06:51I'm terribly sorry to bother you so early in the morning.
06:54My name is Murphy.
06:55Well, of course it is.
06:57Come on in.
06:59I'm Vicki Angel.
07:00Oh, I know.
07:01Mother's written of you in glowing terms.
07:04Uh, honey, Murphy's boy is here.
07:07Won't you sit down, Mike?
07:08Come on.
07:09Emmett.
07:12Sorry.
07:13Oh, honey, uh, this is Mr. Angel.
07:16Hi, uh, we were just talking about you.
07:21How do you do, sir?
07:23Nice to finally meet you, Mike.
07:25Emmett.
07:26Uh, did you miss connections with your folks?
07:29Well, evidently.
07:30I left a note on the door for them.
07:32I took the liberty of saying I'd be up here.
07:34Oh, that's all right, Mike.
07:36Emmett.
07:42Well.
07:42You're, um, you're almost as big as your dad said you would be.
07:50I think he's going to be proud of this.
07:52Oh, what does the other guy look like?
07:55Well, this happened with the trombone, sir.
07:58The trombone?
07:59Don't they use fists in the Navy anymore?
08:02Oh.
08:03I'm afraid I've given you the wrong impression.
08:06Now, you see, the flutes sit right in front of the trombones.
08:09Well, the, the trombone prayer, he reached for a low note.
08:15Well, when he came back, he caught me with a saliva valve.
08:21Felt terrible about it.
08:23I can imagine.
08:25Then you play the flute.
08:28Yes, ma'am.
08:28I'm a musician first class.
08:30We play all the ship's concerts.
08:32This happened right in the middle of Clair de Lune.
08:34Meadow, how long has it been since you've seen your father, your folks?
08:45Oh, about two years.
08:47I've been traveling all over the world.
08:49Does your dad know that, um, uh, I'll bet your dad is proud you made musician first class, huh?
08:56Well, mother thought it expedient not to tell him.
09:01Of course, I'll straighten that out now that I am back.
09:03Well, say, I wonder if I may bring my sea bag in.
09:06I left it outside till I was sure you were home.
09:09Well, certainly, Emmett, bring it in.
09:12Oh, say, this is a beautiful piece of T-Ocean bronze.
09:18It is?
09:19Oh, thank you.
09:21Oriental sculpture's my hobby, you know.
09:22We should have asked to see his identity card.
09:27That kid's an imposter.
09:31Poor Murph.
09:32The worst thing that could happen to him.
09:33He has a son with manners.
09:36Here we are.
09:37I brought a few things back.
09:39I want you to see something, Miss Angel, I brought for you.
09:44Oh, say, this is my flute.
09:47It's a Jensen.
09:52Honey?
09:53Honey, isn't it nice?
09:55See, there's Jensen right there.
09:59I hear they're swell.
10:01Well, I got to get going.
10:03You know, Mother told me so much about you.
10:07I want you to have this.
10:09For me?
10:10Well, it's a figurine.
10:12It represents the goddess of patience.
10:14You see, in Korea, they have a little...
10:16Uh-oh, here they come.
10:19Stand back.
10:19Baby!
10:20Oh, you won't be needing me around, and I'm late for work.
10:27Oh, you look wonderful.
10:29Hi, Murph, Cassie.
10:30Come on, Gus.
10:31Come on, Gus.
10:32Oh, baby, where were you?
10:33We drove all the way to San Pedro, and your boat wasn't there.
10:36His ship, lover.
10:37Anyway, we got all the way to San Pedro.
10:39Couldn't find hiding a hair of your boat.
10:42We just had a sudden change in orders, Dad.
10:44We came off at Long Beach.
10:45Oh, well, you're here now, anyway.
10:48Uh-huh.
10:48What'd I tell you, Vicki?
10:50What's the other guy look like?
10:51Oh, six feet, 190 pounds.
10:54Little guy, huh?
10:55Yeah.
10:56Did he hit you with a brick?
10:57No, sir, a trombone.
10:59Oh, them trombones are murdered.
11:01I remember a little brawl we got into at a dance hall.
11:04And would you believe it, Mike, this guy tried to jam a trombone into my ear.
11:08You told him that when he was three years old.
11:11Well, I guess I did.
11:12Well, we can swap remittances later.
11:16What's the nickel-plated plumbing for?
11:19That's my flute, sir.
11:23What?
11:24I was thinking.
11:24Look what Emmett brought me.
11:27Mike.
11:28Nice of you, kid.
11:30Only one?
11:32Where's the one for the pepper?
11:37That's a figurine, Dad.
11:39You see, it represents the goddess of patience.
11:42According to Korean superstition, she embodies the enigma of tranquility.
11:52Something like the, uh, the Griselda of Italy.
11:56He didn't mean nothing by it, lover.
11:58You're trying to get jassy with your old man's son?
12:00Well, I was hoping you would, because as big as you are, I can still take you on.
12:04Now, come on, put up them dudes.
12:06Can't do it, Dad.
12:07I have to watch my fingers now.
12:09Your fingers?
12:10What's the matter with them?
12:10One, two, three.
12:11Oh, they're all there.
12:14I need them for my flute.
12:17Oh.
12:18Mike?
12:20Mike was telling me he's traveled all over the world.
12:23Emmett.
12:24Now, what's all this jazz about a flute?
12:26Well, you might as well know, lover.
12:28Emmett plays the flute in the Navy band.
12:31I would have told you before, but I was afraid you'd pop your cork.
12:34Why should I pop my cork?
12:36So Madden will tell them to play a flute.
12:38He plays the flute.
12:39So, one of the musicians conks you with a trombone, huh?
12:42Well, something like that, sir, uh, Dad.
12:45It was right in the middle of Claire de Lune.
12:47They shouldn't allow dames aboard a ship.
12:53What else have you got in your bag, Emmett?
12:56Yeah, Mike.
12:57I've got something here for you, Mom.
12:59Oh, something for me.
13:00A present for me.
13:01Oh, a pair of bees.
13:05Oh, Daddy, they're beautiful.
13:08Oh, ain't they elegant, Vicki?
13:10Did you bring me a gun or a sword or something like that?
13:13Oh, here's something else for you, lover.
13:15No, no, that's for you, Dad.
13:17You know what he's trying to do, doesn't he?
13:33He's trying to get me into a fight so he can beat my brains out.
13:37Hey, lover, try it on.
13:38Really, sir, it's for you.
13:43Mike, you've been gone a long time, so maybe you forgot.
13:46Matt, I don't wear nightgowns.
13:50It's a bathrobe.
13:51Murph, it's a beautiful oriental bathrobe.
13:54Well, I don't take oriental baths.
13:58Oh, this is ridiculous.
14:00Look at this thing.
14:01Oh, look at this.
14:03Oh, hey, I can't.
14:05Look at this thing.
14:06It's crawling with bugs.
14:09They're not bugs, Dad.
14:11They're oriental butterflies.
14:12This group was used symbolically by the Ming Dynasty.
14:18I know Navy talk, and that ain't it.
14:22There you are.
14:23Well, I hope you're satisfied.
14:25Here.
14:27I look like an Irish snake.
14:31Oh, I'm sorry, Mike.
14:33It's swell, honest.
14:35You get you dead.
14:37Watch the hand.
14:38You sure I can't fix you a little bit of breakfast or something?
14:43Oh, no, thanks, Vicki.
14:44I've got to get my baby home.
14:46Come on, honey.
14:47I'm glad to have you home.
14:48Oh, you look so good, honey.
14:49Oh, well, you look wonderful, too.
14:51So long, Vicki.
14:52You've gotten bigger than ever.
14:55You got the booze.
14:57Let's go, Emmett.
14:58Oh, Vicki, I need your advice.
15:09I don't know what to do.
15:11About what, honey?
15:12Emmett and Murph.
15:14It's just fight, fight, fight.
15:17Emmett's been home for a week now, and here's what happened.
15:21Murph comes home from work, and maybe he sees Emmett writing a letter to this girl he's got in Philadelphia.
15:26Evelyn, if you ask me, she's the real troublemaker.
15:31Little Miss College girls.
15:35Well, anyhow, Murph catches him writing this letter, and he gets real clever.
15:40And he says,
15:41Okay, we know you can write.
15:43We've seen the pen.
15:47Or maybe Emmett's practicing on his flute.
15:50And Murph says,
15:51What are you trying to be, the Pied Piper of Hamilton?
15:54What do you think I should do?
16:00Oh, I'm certainly not qualified to give that kind of advice.
16:04Sure you are.
16:06I'd really rather not really, Kathy.
16:08Look, honey, the Murphy family is in big trouble.
16:11If you've got any ideas, fill them.
16:13Well, all right, it occurred to me that maybe if you'd just all sat down around a table and discussed the situation.
16:24Oh, talk and never solved anything.
16:26Well, maybe you could explain to Murph that an education isn't a crime.
16:31Yeah.
16:32And that manners are an asset, and Emmett's changed for the better.
16:36Well, all Emmett has to do is just pop his cork once and the whole thing's solved.
16:42But you're contradicting yourself.
16:44You just said you didn't want that.
16:46And you could get Murph to control himself and...
16:49Well, forgive me, Kathy, but if you'd control yourself...
16:52Oh, yeah?
16:52Who asked you?
17:00Well, you did, remember?
17:02Well, let me tell you something, little Miss Busybody.
17:05Everybody in this neighborhood's talking about you and Gus.
17:08What?
17:09Everybody's saying that your marriage won't last a year,
17:12unless you bust loose at one another every now and then and say what you really think.
17:16Who's everybody?
17:18Me and Murph.
17:22And incidentally, the next time I need your advice, I'll ask for it.
17:41Murph, you've never come down here to my office before,
17:44and you've been sitting here giving me double talk for five minutes.
17:48Now, why don't you say what you came down here to say?
17:50No, Gus, honest, I...
17:53I was just going by, so I thought I'd drop in.
17:56Glad you did.
17:58See you later.
17:59So long, Murph.
18:03Gus.
18:05Yeah?
18:07What kind of a navy are they running these days?
18:12Murph, the navy's as tough as ever.
18:14Only they're leaning a little bit more to education, that's all.
18:17You ain't kidding.
18:18You know what that stupid kid of mine's done?
18:19What?
18:20He went to the library and brought home a book.
18:26At first, I thought it was all about Italian baseball, but I wasn't.
18:29Italian baseball?
18:31Yeah, something about the decline and fall of a Roman umpire.
18:39Well, it wasn't about baseball, and I yelled at him.
18:43You know, Gus, I've been yelling at that kid all week.
18:47And all he keeps telling me is, Dad, you're tired.
18:50Dad?
18:50You're tired.
18:52Gus, the kid just ain't got it.
18:57Murph, most parents want the respect you're getting.
19:00What do you want them to do?
19:01I want them to belt me just once.
19:06Is that asking too much?
19:10I'm going to play the flute.
19:11He's supposed to go to a football game for me.
19:12Or is that too carnival for him?
19:14What's the matter with you?
19:14Oh, too carnival for him.
19:15I'm at it again.
19:16I just don't understand it.
19:18I'll say this much, though.
19:20Murph has a point.
19:21Seems to me it wouldn't hurt the kid any to act tough once in a while just for Murph's sake.
19:26Oh, no.
19:27Murph's the one who has to make the adjustment.
19:30I don't quite agree with you, sweetheart.
19:32I'm a little surprised at you.
19:34But you didn't see Kathy's face when she asked for advice.
19:38Baloney and lettuce.
19:39Just checking.
19:41Look who's here.
19:42Hi.
19:43Folks.
19:44They're on the right at it again.
19:45Thought I'd come over here and do a little sketching if it wouldn't disturb you.
19:48Well, of course not, Emma.
19:49You know, glad to have you, Mike.
19:52You know, they're the most wonderful parents in the world.
19:57But it's kind of nice to come down here where things are discussed instead of wrangled over.
20:01May I see this?
20:02Sit down, Emma.
20:03I'm going to send that to Evelyn when I finish with it.
20:05You know, she likes flowers.
20:07But this is beautiful.
20:09Thanks.
20:12Has your dad found out you do this sort of thing?
20:15Well, no.
20:16I figured I caused enough trouble with the flu.
20:19I've really caught the feeling of those roses.
20:23Look at this.
20:24They're all baloney and lettuce.
20:28Very good, Mike.
20:30Well, Mike, should you make up your mind while you're going on us?
20:32I've got two things for the football game.
20:34Well, I'd kind of like to finish this, Dad.
20:41Flowers?
20:42Well, la-dee-dum.
20:47What else can you expect from a kid who whistled through plumbing?
20:52I think Emma did very well.
20:55When you get through with the cartoons, we'll take a nice muscle building trip to the library.
21:00You know, I remember when me and this kid used to talk the same language.
21:04Not no more.
21:12Dad's a wonderful guy.
21:17He doesn't mean it when he talks to...
21:19You shouldn't misunderstand.
21:22He's...
21:23Excuse me, please.
21:25You know, Murph is blaming the Navy for all this.
21:33I think it's that Philadelphia Evelyn's fault.
21:36You make Philadelphia sound awfully stuffy.
21:39I think Cassie's right.
21:42I don't think you heard me, sweetheart.
21:43I said I haven't anything against Philadelphia.
21:46The girl.
21:49Don't let her get you down, lover.
21:51I'll go to the football game with you.
21:53Yeah.
21:54I don't want to go.
21:54Dad, what do you want?
22:04We still got time to make that football game?
22:08What?
22:24Well, are you going to take me to that football game, or do I got to belt you?
22:35Oh, baby!
22:38That's a real dumbbell.
22:41Why do you pick me up on everything I say?
22:43I don't pick you up on anything.
22:45Why do you just tell me that I hate Philadelphia?
22:46I have nothing against Philadelphia.
22:47I have nothing against Philadelphia.
22:49I didn't know better.
22:50I think that was Vicki and Gus.
22:51It is.
22:51Let's go, referee.
22:52Come on.
22:53I know you.
22:54Oh, hey, baby.
22:55All right.
22:56If you're so smart, what's wrong with Seattle?
22:58Seattle?
22:59Where did Seattle come from?
23:00All I said was there were a few stuffy people in any city, like Indianapolis or Fresno.
23:05How did Seattle get into it?
23:07Because I went through there with my folks and a nicer bunch of people you've never met in your life.
23:12I suppose you were eight years old, like you were in Philadelphia?
23:15I was five and a half, but I remember it.
23:18And if Philadelphia was good enough for Benjamin Franklin, it ought to be good enough for you.
23:23I wasn't five and a half when I was in Philadelphia, so I don't remember Benjamin Franklin.
23:28Of course you don't.
23:29You're so busy opening sandwiches, you wouldn't remember anybody.
23:32Get back to Benjamin Franklin so you can tell Gus to go fly a kaiser.
23:37And when I want your advice, I'll ask for it.
23:40How can I see what's in a sandwich if I don't open it?
23:43You can have a little faith in your wife.
23:46Baloney, baloney, baloney.
23:49Wait a minute.
23:50What was in that last one?
23:56Aha!
23:57Peanut butter!
24:01Oh, it's peanut butter.
24:02Yes, you told me it was baloney.
24:04Baloney!
24:05You ever Michael Murphy?
24:07Hey, you stay out of this.
24:08Yeah.
24:09Wait a minute.
24:10What's my baby docked?
24:12Your baby started a brawl the minute he docked at Long Beach.
24:16You know, the Marine Corps is on our side, buddy.
24:19Just a minute, Admiral.
24:21That happens to be my boy.
24:24Yeah.
24:24I'm sorry, sir.
24:25He's on terminal leave, but he's still in the Navy.
24:27I'll have to take him along.
24:29You started a brawl with Marines?
24:31I'm sorry, Dad.
24:35That's why I've been trying to control my temper ever since I come home.
24:39All right.
24:40Come on, son.
24:40I'll have to take him.
24:41I'll have to take him.
24:41I'll have to take him.
24:42I'll have to take him.
24:43I'll have to take him.
24:44I'll have to take him.
24:48This is a day to remember.
24:51You two kids at each other's throat, and they drag my boy off to the brig.
24:55That's what I call a happy ending
24:59Honey
25:03Yeah?
25:05You know I didn't mean one word of what I said, don't you?
25:08Of course I do
25:09I didn't either
25:10You know something funny?
25:13What?
25:14I never felt better in my whole life
25:17Got a date with an angel
25:26Going to meet her at seven
25:28Got a date with an angel
25:30And I'm on my way to heaven
