00:01:44Good morning, Danny.
00:01:46Good morning.
00:01:50Hey, baby.
00:01:52Baby Dumplin.
00:01:56Would you do something for me?
00:01:58Sure.
00:01:59See if Mother's fixing my lunch to take to the office,
00:02:01but don't tell her I asked.
00:02:03Understand? It's a secret.
00:02:04Shhh.
00:02:05Shhh.
00:02:15Look, Mommy, I comb my hair.
00:02:17That's a good boy.
00:02:19I'll be good all day, too, I hope.
00:02:21Are you fixing days lunch for the office?
00:02:25Did your father tell you to ask me that?
00:02:29Baby Dumplin.
00:02:33Do you know what happens when you tell stories?
00:02:37Yes, Mommy.
00:02:45You didn't do nothing wrong, Daisy.
00:02:47Let me sit down.
00:02:55I'm sorry, Mommy.
00:02:57It's hard to be good.
00:03:01Then come along and have your breakfast.
00:03:09Good morning.
00:03:11I thought I'd drop by with the contracts on my way to the office.
00:03:13My husband's here now.
00:03:15He'll be gone in a few minutes.
00:03:17Come back later.
00:03:18Oh, sorry.
00:03:19I'll wait down at the corner.
00:03:20Oh, no.
00:03:21Wait up at the corner.
00:03:22It's safer.
00:03:23Safer?
00:03:25Oh.
00:03:32Blondie!
00:03:34Blondie!
00:03:35Oh, look.
00:03:36One of my blue socks is green.
00:03:38Dagwood, I put two clean pairs in your drawer last night.
00:03:40Why didn't you put on the other pair?
00:03:42Well, the other pair's blue and green, too.
00:03:44Now, Dagwood, keep the blue sock on your right foot,
00:03:47take the green sock off your left foot,
00:03:49and then put on the other blue one.
00:03:51Yeah, but I got the right sock on the wrong foot already.
00:03:55Now, I'm mixed up.
00:03:57Never mind.
00:03:58Oh, thanks.
00:04:00Who was at the door?
00:04:01It was your brother, Gus.
00:04:03Well, I thought it was somebody else.
00:04:07Hey.
00:04:08I haven't any brother, Gus.
00:04:12If you must know Mr. Nosy, it was a salesman.
00:04:15Was he selling something?
00:04:17Now, Dagwood, that was a stupid question.
00:04:19I said he was a salesman.
00:04:21I didn't mean that.
00:04:22I meant, were you buying something?
00:04:23Why, whatever gave you that idea?
00:04:26Well, we just finished paying for the furniture,
00:04:28so I thought it was about time you bought something else.
00:04:32You talk as if I sit around all day thinking up things to buy.
00:04:35Maybe it just seems that way.
00:04:40Do you remember what we had when we first moved into this house?
00:04:43Sure, we had each other.
00:04:45What else?
00:04:46Me?
00:04:47No, darling.
00:04:48You came after the dining room furniture.
00:04:51Did the store bring the furniture, too?
00:04:53Your father seems to think so.
00:04:56He forgets that we have a happy home because I planned and schemed.
00:04:59Now he doesn't want to carry his lunch and save $3 a week.
00:05:03Shame.
00:05:08Poor baby.
00:05:09It looks as if he'll have to work his way through college.
00:05:11He will not.
00:05:12No son of mine will work his way through college.
00:05:14He'll go to college just like anybody else.
00:05:16And he won't have to carry his lunch either.
00:05:18I'm gonna go to Harvard.
00:05:20No, dear, Princeton.
00:05:22Harvard.
00:05:23Of course, if you got your raise...

00:09:28Attaboy, David!
00:09:30Well, I didn't know he was traveling light today.
00:09:32He isn't carrying his lunch.
00:09:33Yeah, he forgot his school books, too.
00:09:36He's going on a diet or his wife's going on a vacation.
00:09:38My wife hasn't anything to do with it.
00:09:40I'm not like some guys I know who let their wives run them.
00:09:43I only bring my lunch when I want to.
00:09:45And today I didn't want to.
00:09:47But he's hiding it under his coat.
00:09:49I am not.
00:09:58Bumpster, I want to see you.
00:10:00Yes, sir.
00:10:02Nelson, you come in, too.
00:10:04Yes, sir.
00:10:05Nelson, what have you done about that Hazlip deal?
00:10:09Well, I've done everything I could, Mr. Dithers, but it's an impossible setup.
00:10:14He hates salesmen.
00:10:15Why, he throws them out as fast as I come in.
00:10:17Did he throw you out?
00:10:18No, sir.
00:10:19That's too bad.
00:10:20Well, you go on the clarinet deal.
00:10:21You want to be able to sell an old lady.
00:10:23I'll sell Hazlip myself.
00:10:25Yes, sir.
00:10:26Mary, get me Mr. Hazlip at the Brinkley Hotel.
00:10:30Bumpster?
00:10:31Yes, sir.
00:10:33You're in trouble again?
00:10:34Huh?
00:10:35I mean, sir?
00:10:36Did you endorse a note for Elsie Watson?
00:10:39Oh, that.
00:10:41Gee, I thought you said I was in trouble.
00:10:43She owes that money.
00:10:44You remember Miss Watson, Mr. Dithers.
00:10:46She used to be your secretary.
00:10:48I remember her.
00:10:49I fired her.
00:10:50You did?
00:10:51Why, she told me she quit.
00:10:53Said her mother was sick in Seattle and she had to go to her right away and she didn't
00:10:56have the money and that's the reason I signed a note.
00:11:00Why, she was crying so hard she could hardly talk.
00:11:03You understood her, though, didn't you?
00:11:04Oh, yes.
00:11:06I think that loan company must be a little mixed up about it.
00:11:09You do, eh?
00:11:10Well, one of their men is in your office now waiting for you.
00:11:13You go in there and straighten him out.
00:11:14Yes, sir.
00:11:23Get my wife.
00:11:28Hello, Dovey.
00:11:30Uh, Dovey, did you put my lunch in two packages this morning?
00:11:38Mr. Bumstead?
00:11:39I'm Hicks of the Boris Loan Company.
00:11:41Yes, I know.
00:11:42Well, then I'll get right to the point.
00:11:44You endorse the note for Elsie Watson.
00:11:50Well, she's disappeared and we're unable to locate her.
00:11:53Well, maybe you haven't looked hard enough.
00:11:56She went to visit her sick mother in Seattle.
00:11:58She has no sick mother in Seattle.
00:12:00I doubt if she has a mother at all.
00:12:02Oh, now, she must have had a mother sometime, somewheres.
00:12:06Perhaps.
00:12:07But as far as the note is concerned, you're responsible.
00:12:10Oh, no, I'm not responsible.
00:12:12Anyone can tell you I'm not responsible.
00:12:15In this case, Mr. Bumstead, you are.
00:12:17The amount is $563.80.
00:12:19You guarantee the note.
00:12:21Naturally, we expect you to take care of it immediately.
00:12:23I haven't $563.80.
00:12:28I haven't even 80 cents.
00:12:30You gave us collateral the furniture at your residence, isn't that right?
00:12:34Of course, our company doesn't want to take that furniture, but...
00:12:37Oh, you can't do that.
00:12:39Well, it so happens that we can.
00:12:40Oh, no.
00:12:41If necessary.
00:12:42No, no.
00:12:42Now, don't do that, please.
00:12:43Don't.
00:12:44Just give me a little time and...
00:12:46All right.
00:12:47I'll give you until tomorrow.
00:12:51Tomorrow?
00:12:52I'll see you here at one o'clock.
00:12:54I may be a little late.
00:12:56I'll wait.
00:12:58Yeah, wait, will you?
00:13:16Mr. Morgan.
00:13:18Yes, sir?
00:13:19I'd like to get some advice.
00:13:21That's all you'll get.
00:13:23If you owed $563.80 and you had to have it right away, what would you do?
00:13:28Let me get this straight.
00:13:30I owe $563.80.
00:13:33And I'm married.
00:13:35And I don't want my wife to know anything about it.
00:13:38And I work for dithers.
00:13:44I'd hang myself.
00:13:45When I dry dishes, I hate myself.
00:13:56So do I.
00:13:57I hate all of them, too.
00:14:00No, you don't.
00:14:02Oh, dear, there goes the bell.
00:14:04See who it is, baby.
00:14:05If it's anyone selling anything, tell them we don't want any.
00:14:08Yes, sir.
00:14:09Yes, sir.
00:14:15We don't want any.
00:14:22You like a cherry pie?
00:14:24Yes, sir.
00:14:25And your pup will like a cherry pie?
00:14:30Mommy?
00:14:31Yes, dear?
00:14:33Does Daddy like cherry pie?
00:14:35Daddy likes any kind of pie.
00:14:37Come in.
00:14:47I happen to know Mr. Haislip is stopping there.
00:14:50I've called five times.
00:14:53We'll leave another message.
00:14:56Yes?
00:14:58Ah, Bumstead, I'm glad you came in.
00:15:01You can help me solve a problem.
00:15:03Yes, sir.
00:15:04When you were in here, did you leave your lunch?
00:15:06I guess so.
00:15:07You'll probably need it.
00:15:09But I need a raise worse, Mr. Dithers.
00:15:11Yes, I know you needed one last week.
00:15:13Yes, sir, but I need it worse this week than I did last week.
00:15:16You see, tomorrow's my wedding anniversary, and I've made up my mind to surprise Blondie.
00:15:20Bumstead, I don't know anything about your home life, but I imagine Blondie has one surprise after another.
00:15:26Yes, but she never had a surprise like this if I don't get a raise.
00:15:29Your job isn't worth any more than you're getting.
00:15:32Mr. Dithers, I could sell if you'd give me a chance.
00:15:35I'm a born salesman.
00:15:37I'm aggressive.
00:15:37You mean impulsive?
00:15:39Yes, sir, and I have charm, too.
00:15:41All I need is an opportunity, and you'll just have to give it to me, Mr. Dithers.
00:15:46Tomorrow's our wooden anniversary, and unless I take home some news to Blondie, I...
00:15:51Listen, Bumstead, quit beating about the bush.
00:15:53You're in trouble, aren't you?
00:15:55Yes, sir.
00:15:56You wouldn't think I could get into so much trouble.
00:15:59I wouldn't think anybody could.
00:16:00You know, if Blondie finds out about that note I endorsed, it'll be pretty hard to explain.
00:16:05Hard?
00:16:05It'll be impossible.
00:16:07I just have to get a hold of $563.80.
00:16:11Make sense?
00:16:12Bumsters, I'm going to give you a chance.
00:16:16Gee.
00:16:16You know that Hazlip deal?
00:16:18That's a $200,000 proposition.
00:16:20Hazlip's stopping at the Brinkley.
00:16:21If you sell him, I'll promote you to the sales force, give you a $10 raise, and a bonus of $600, which will cover that note.
00:16:28Thank you, Mr. Dithers, I appreciate this, and I'll show you I'm worthy.
00:16:33You saved my honor and my furniture.
00:16:36Now, you're talking like a man.
00:16:39Yes, sir.
00:16:40I've always known I had it in me, just never let it come out before, but from now on, I'll prove to you I have courage.
00:16:47These cheese sandwiches have been making a mouse out of me.
00:16:50Mary, get my wife on the phone.
00:17:09Blondie, we've just gotten out of a lot of trouble that you never knew about.
00:17:17I've been a sap, but I've changed all of a sudden.
00:17:20From now on, you're going to be proud of me.
00:17:21I'm going to do big things.
00:17:23Baby Dumplin', you're going to Harvard.
00:17:27Huh?
00:17:28Oh, I thought you said something.
00:17:31Mrs. Fuddle?
00:17:33Yes?
00:17:34I can't even come over and play with me.
00:17:36Why, of course.
00:17:38Run along and play, dear.
00:17:39I don't want all.
00:17:41Why, Alvin, is that nice?
00:17:44Mrs. Fuddle?
00:17:45Yes?
00:17:46Now, run along and play, dear.
00:17:47Go along.
00:17:48I have something for you.
00:17:50Would you like a nice box of cherries?
00:17:52Oh, you're sure you don't need them?
00:17:53Oh, no, I have more.
00:17:55Come on over here and play with me, Alvin.
00:17:58No.
00:17:59Oh, come on.
00:18:00Daisy wants to play with you, too.
00:18:02Don't you, Daisy?
00:18:05Will you play nice?
00:18:07Yeah.
00:18:08Sure.
00:18:10All right.
00:18:13I suppose you're all excited about buying new furniture.
00:18:15Oh, yes, I am.
00:18:17In a way, the payments are larger than I expected, but if Dagwood gets his raise...
00:18:21Oh, I know just exactly how you feel.
00:18:24I've just about given up hope of Ed ever getting a raise when it happened.
00:18:29Yes?
00:18:29An old boy of mine came to town.
00:18:31We had him out for dinner.
00:18:32And the minute his big car drove up in front of the house, there was a change in Ed.
00:18:36Oh.
00:18:37All during dinner, he kept talking about business and what he said to his boss and everything.
00:18:41And Ed kept getting hotter and hotter.
00:18:43And, well, all I knew is the next day, Ed came home with a raise.
00:18:48Oh, dear.
00:18:49I just remembered.
00:18:50I must make a call.
00:18:53It's Alvin.
00:18:54You weigh 163 pounds.
00:19:17You are a very stupid fellow and not likely to succeed.
00:19:30You weigh 163 pounds.
00:19:33You are a very stupid fellow and not likely to succeed.
00:19:44You weigh 183 pounds.
00:19:47You are about to consummate a very successful business deal.
00:20:02Save your money, sucker.
00:20:04I've told you twice already.
00:20:14Good morning, Mr. Hazelick.
00:20:15There's some messages for you.
00:20:17J.C. Dithers.
00:20:20J.C. Dithers.
00:20:22J.C. Dithers.
00:20:24S.W. Carey Company.
00:20:26J.C. Dithers.
00:20:27Rather persistent, aren't they, Mr. Hazelick?
00:20:29Fine state of affairs when a man can't move without having a pack of salesmen yapping at his heels.
00:20:34I'll take them, Mr. Hazelick.
00:20:35Is Mr. Hazelick in?
00:20:36Are you selling something?
00:20:38Yes, I'm Mr. Bumstead of the J.C. Dithers Company.
00:20:43Well, fortunately for you, he's not in.
00:20:47Oh, you mean he's out?
00:20:49Exactly.
00:20:50Listen, will you do me a favor?
00:20:51I'll be thrilled to death.
00:20:53I'm going to sit right over there.
00:20:55And when Mr. Hazelick comes in, will you tip me off?
00:20:57Well, you know, give me a high sign.
00:20:59Let's see, what can we use for a signal?
00:21:01Oh, like this.
00:21:08Never mind, never mind.
00:21:17Is Mr. C.P. Hazelick in, please?
00:21:19Are you a salesman?

00:23:02No.
00:23:04I could fix it in 10 minutes.
00:23:23I could fix it in 10 minutes.
00:23:53I could fix it in 10 minutes.
00:24:23I have a suite here.
00:24:32Got a kit of tools, too.
00:24:34Never get it on the elevator, though.
00:24:40What about the stairs?
00:24:41Bright boy.
00:24:42Sure.
00:24:44Over there.
00:24:46Here.
00:24:48Take this.
00:24:50Walk over there.
00:24:52Pull it.
00:24:52Be careful.
00:24:54Be careful.
00:24:54Be careful.
00:24:54Be careful.
00:24:54Where?
00:25:24That's a fine place to leave a thing.
00:25:27Porter!
00:25:29Porter!
00:25:31Porter!
00:25:32Porter!
00:25:54I got the right thing now, Mr. Cooper.
00:26:10I'm good.
00:26:15Police!
00:26:17Mr. Brickler!
00:26:21Mr. Brickler!
00:26:22Mr. Brickler!
00:26:23Mr. Brickler!
00:26:24No, no, look.
00:26:25You're sure you had a vacuum cleaner in the first place?
00:26:29I think I did.
00:26:30It looked like one.
00:26:32And I wasn't using it for one.
00:26:34But it got broke.
00:26:36So I went downstairs to get a screwdriver.
00:26:40How long were you gone?
00:26:42I don't know how long I was gone.
00:26:44But I was gone too long.
00:26:46Cause when I got back, it was gone.
00:26:49It couldn't have walked out of here.
00:26:53Couldn't it?
00:26:55The whole thing sounds crazy to me.
00:26:57Where did you leave it?
00:27:02Oh, there.
00:27:03All right, let's have a look.
00:27:04Well, that's the one mistake we made.
00:27:07What?
00:27:08We didn't pay enough attention when we were taking it apart.
00:27:12Maybe we ought to take it back downstairs.
00:27:14No!
00:27:15It may require a little longer than I thought at first, but we'll fix it.
00:27:18I'm better at engines.
00:27:19I'm good at watches.
00:27:20I've taken this apart three times.
00:27:21Only had to go to the jewelers twice.
00:27:23Gosh, I must be going.
00:27:24I have to see a man in this hotel.
00:27:25He's probably in now.
00:27:26Can you come back later?
00:27:27Not tonight, but I'll come back tomorrow when I finish a big deal I'm closing.
00:27:29Well, we'll put it away and get a first start in the next one.
00:27:30I'm going back later.

00:37:36Dagwood, if you don't stop bolting your food, you're going to die of indigestion.
00:37:52What are you reading?

00:38:16What are the symptoms of mumps anyhow?
00:38:21Or I don't know.
00:38:22Swollen jaws, I guess.
00:38:24That's not a symptom.
00:38:25That's mumps.
00:38:26Now, Dagwood, don't start imagining things.
00:38:30I'm not imagining anything.
00:38:32I'm not imagining anything.
00:38:33I'm not imagining anything.

00:41:03C.P., there's something I want to tell you.
00:41:04Well, what is it?
00:41:05The phone's ringing.
00:41:06Well, answer it.
00:41:07Hello?
00:41:08Daily Gazette calling.
00:41:09I speak to C.P.
00:41:10Haislip.
00:41:11It's a Daily Gazette.
00:41:12It's a Daily Gazette.
00:41:13Ask them what they want.
00:41:14What did you want to speak to him about?
00:41:16He wants a statement about that building project on the south side.
00:41:17Tell him to go chase himself.
00:41:18He said go chase yourself.
00:41:19Wait a minute.
00:41:20Oh, wait a minute.
00:41:21Oh, I'm glad.
00:41:22I'm glad.
00:41:23I'm glad.
00:41:24C.P., there's something I want to tell you.
00:41:25Well, what is it?
00:41:26The phone's ringing.
00:41:27Well, answer it.
00:41:28Hello?
00:41:29Daily Gazette calling.
00:41:30I speak to C.P.
00:41:31Haislip.
00:41:32It's a Daily Gazette.
00:41:33I ask them what they want.
00:41:34What did you want to speak to him about?
00:41:37Oh, c...
00:41:38he wants a statement about that building project on the south side.
00:41:42Tell him to go chase himself.
00:41:44He said go chase yourself-
00:41:46Wait a minute.
00:41:47We can't tell him that.
00:41:49All right.
00:41:50Tell him anything.
00:41:51OK.
00:41:56Why didn't I tell him?
00:41:58Here.
00:41:59Give me that phone.
00:42:03This is Hazlitt. I've abandoned the whole idea.
00:42:06No. No. No. Goodbye.
00:42:11But you haven't abandoned the whole idea, have you?
00:42:14No, but I'm tired of being bothered.
00:42:16Then you're going through with the development?
00:42:18Sure. As soon as they get this thing fixed, we have to get it back before they miss it.
00:42:21Oh.
00:42:23You know this town pretty well, don't you?
00:42:25Yes.
00:42:26Well, when I get ready to go through with that plan,
00:42:28I want to ask your advice about a few things.
00:42:30I can give you a lot of advice, C.P.
00:42:32What do you want to know?
00:42:38I want to know why you brought this thing up here in the first place.
00:42:51Baby Dumpling, see who's at the door.
00:42:59Oh, dear.
00:43:02What do you do? Mrs. Bumstead?
00:43:03Yes.
00:43:04Is your husband in?
00:43:05No, he's at his office.
00:43:06No, he isn't. I just came from there.
00:43:07He isn't? That's strange.
00:43:08Yes, under the circumstances it is.
00:43:09Are you sure he's still in town?
00:43:10Certainly. Today's our wedding anniversary and my mother and sister are driving down...
00:43:11I'll wait for him at the office.
00:43:12What is it you wanted to see him about? Perhaps I could help.
00:43:13It's a personal matter.
00:43:14Well, you needn't mind telling me. We have no secrets from each other. Won't you come inside, please?
00:43:24It's about that Elsie Watson note.
00:43:25Elsie Watson? Note? Who's Elsie Watson? Why did he write her a note?
00:43:29Your husband understands all about it.
00:43:30Oh, of course, but who is this woman?
00:43:31If I don't find him, I'll be back.
00:43:32But wait a minute. You haven't told me.
00:43:34Elsie Watson.
00:43:35Elsie Watson.
00:43:36He saw Mr. Ditters early this morning and then left.
00:43:37I don't know if he's going to tell you.
00:43:38But I don't know if he's going to tell you.
00:43:39But I don't know if he's going to tell you.
00:43:40You can't tell me.
00:43:41What about that Elsie Watson note?
00:43:42Elsie Watson?
00:43:43Who's Elsie Watson?
00:43:44Why did he write her a note?
00:43:45Your husband understands all about it.
00:43:46Well, of course, but who is this woman?
00:43:47If I don't find him, I'll be back.
00:43:48But wait a minute. You haven't told me.
00:43:50Elsie Watson.
00:43:52He saw Mr. Ditters early this morning and then left.
00:44:04I don't know when to be back.
00:44:06Well, where can I locate him?
00:44:08I hate to bother you, but if you will, please.
00:44:17I'm on my way, Dad.
00:44:18Now, don't you little boys get messy.
00:44:25Hello?
00:44:26Who, who is this, please?
00:44:30Elsie?
00:44:31Is Dagwood Bunkstead there?
00:44:33Just a minute.
00:44:34Hey, Dag.
00:44:35It's for you.
00:44:36Me?
00:44:42Hello?
00:44:43What are you doing in that hotel?
00:44:45I'm helping a man fix a vacuum cleaner.
00:44:47That's just dandy.
00:44:48And I suppose that Elsie woman is his daughter.
00:44:51Sure.
00:44:52How'd you guess?
00:44:53You know all the answers, don't you?
00:44:56Hello?
00:44:57Hello?
00:44:58Hello?
00:44:59Hello?
00:45:00Hello?
00:45:01Hey, don't stand there saying hello like a mini.
00:45:03Plug this thing in.
00:45:12Now, hold your breath.
00:45:23with your breath.
00:45:38Boof!
00:45:39If I were a drinking man, I'd go out and get a drink.
00:45:50I think I will anyhow.
00:45:57You told me this morning that you had that Hazlip deal in the bag, didn't you?
00:46:01Yes, sir, but look.
00:46:02You look.
00:46:03Eastern millionaire to abandoned building project.
00:46:05C.P. Hazlip says housing plan is off.
00:46:08Does that surprise you?
00:46:10Why, no, sir.
00:46:11Maybe this will.
00:46:12You're fired.
00:46:14You mean I don't get a bonus?
00:46:17You're fired!
00:46:20And that answers your question, Mr. Hicks.
00:46:23All right.
00:46:24We'll take other steps.
00:46:26Mr. Dithers, wait a minute.
00:46:27Mr. Dithers.
00:46:29The loan company has attached your final check.
00:46:38Now, if you'll just be patient, darling, there's so many things I have to explain.
00:46:51Remember what the minister said when we were married?
00:46:53A perfect marriage must be based on truth and understanding.
00:46:57Yes, there was a girl in the hotel with me, but we weren't alone.
00:47:01Her father was there all the time.
00:47:04You see, her father and I had a big deal on.
00:47:06I know I didn't tell you anything about it.
00:47:09I wanted to surprise you.
00:47:12No!
00:47:12The girl didn't have a thing to do with me losing my job.
00:47:17Honestly, dear, I was just up there helping her father fix a vacuum cleaner.
00:47:24You'll never get away with that one, buddy.
00:47:42Hey!
00:47:52Hey!
00:47:56Dagwood!
00:48:02Save a new car, Dagwood!
00:48:06Yes!
00:48:07Nice!
00:48:09I didn't know Mother and Dot were here.
00:48:11It's a good thing for you, they are.
00:48:13Huh?
00:48:14Put your arms around me.
00:48:16Now, smile.
00:48:17What's so funny?
00:48:18Smile.
00:48:19Nothing's funny.
00:48:20But we'll make the best of it while Mother and Dot are here.
00:48:22I don't want to have any trouble in front of them.
00:48:24Are they going to stay long?
00:48:25Shut up.
00:48:26Keep smiling.
00:48:28You've broken my heart, but I'll smile, too.
00:48:30Now, turn around and walk slowly.
00:48:35Isn't it lovely to see them so happy?
00:48:39Chaser?
00:48:40Cheat?
00:48:41Liar.
00:48:43Listen, Blondie, if you'll only give me a chance, I can explain.
00:48:46I don't want explanations.
00:48:47I want alimony.
00:48:48But you wouldn't.
00:48:50Smile.
00:48:56Such a lovely dinner.
00:48:58Isn't Blondie the grandest cook?
00:49:00Yes.
00:49:01And doesn't Dagwood look handsome all dressed up?
00:49:04Say, I think I'm going to save a piece of this cake they put under my pillow.
00:49:07But this is an anniversary cake, Dorothy.
00:49:09You wish on a wedding cake.
00:49:11That's right.
00:49:12On an anniversary cake, you just hope.
00:49:18Save me a big piece, dear.
00:49:22More, Mommy, more.
00:49:23Shh, darling, you've had enough.
00:49:25Oh, such a face.
00:49:26I can't help but, Grandma, my chin legs.
00:49:29Here, dear, hold still.
00:49:31It'll wear my face out.
00:49:34Oh, there.
00:49:35Do you like Mommy and Daddy's anniversary, baby?
00:49:38Not much.
00:49:39Why not?
00:49:40No fireworks.
00:49:45Well, maybe the fireworks will come later.
00:49:51Well, is everybody finished?
00:49:54I am.
00:49:55Then, then we'll all go into the living room.
00:49:58I have a big surprise for Dagwood.
00:50:01Mother, you know what it is.
00:50:03Yeah?
00:50:04Can it wait?
00:50:05But, Dagwood, you've got to know sooner or later.
00:50:07Then I'd sooner know later.
00:50:09Come along.
00:50:10You've got to face this like a man.
00:50:14Blondie wants to be the first to see your face.
00:50:16Now, you stand right here.
00:50:19Grandma.
00:50:20Yes, dear?
00:50:21Can't Daisy see the surprise, too?
00:50:23Yes, dear.
00:50:24You run right along and get her.
00:50:28Dagwood.
00:50:37It's an anniversary present to us, from me.
00:50:56But the old furniture.
00:50:58Oh, I traded the old furniture in on this.
00:51:00But the old furniture.
00:51:03Dagwood!
00:51:03Dagwood, mother!
00:51:04Oh!
00:51:05He's fake!
00:51:06Get some water, Dorothy!
00:51:08Fan him!
00:51:09A ball?
00:51:10Things!
00:51:11I knew it would be a surprise, but I didn't expect it to be a shock.
00:51:17Oh, Daisy, get down.
00:51:20Has he said anything yet?
00:51:21Here, give me that.
00:51:22Daisy!
00:51:23What's the matter?
00:51:27Is Daddy on fire?
00:51:29No, baby.
00:51:30He's just surprised.
00:51:32Where am I?
00:51:33You're home, dear.
00:51:34I'm your wife.
00:51:35Or don't you remember?
00:51:39New furniture?
00:51:40Yes, dear.
00:51:41That's what I thought.
00:51:42What did you expect to see?
00:51:44Nothing.
00:51:45I mean, nothing like this.
00:51:47Are you all right now?
00:51:48I think so.
00:51:53How do you feel now, Dagwood?
00:51:57Not very well.
00:51:59I'm expecting a headache.
00:52:03I'll get it.
00:52:07Hello, Blondie.
00:52:09Hope I'm not intruding.
00:52:10Why, Chester Frady, of all people.
00:52:13Mother and daughter here.
00:52:14Come on in and say hello.
00:52:16They'll be so glad to see you.
00:52:17Mr. Frady.
00:52:19Chester, how nice.
00:52:20How do you do, Mrs. Mother?
00:52:20And Dorothy.
00:52:22What a beautiful young lady she's grown to be.
00:52:25Congratulations.
00:52:26Oh, thank you.
00:52:28How did you remember?
00:52:29Well, it's one day I'm not likely to forget.
00:52:32What a pretty speech.
00:52:33Chester always could say the nicest things.
00:52:36And baby dumpling.
00:52:38My, you're getting to be a big man.
00:52:40Where's the dog?
00:52:42Over there.
00:52:44Oh, hello, Dagwood.
00:52:46Hello, Chester.
00:52:47Dagwood, aren't you going to shake hands with Chester?
00:52:49You two aren't rivals anymore.
00:52:52Oh, I saw Dagwood today at the Brinkley.
00:52:54Oh, you didn't tell us you saw Chester.
00:52:57Well, I forgot.
00:52:58Lots of people forget.
00:52:59Most men forget sometimes.
00:53:01One thing about Chester, he never forgets.
00:53:05Aren't those beautiful flowers?
00:53:06Aren't they?
00:53:07Let me smell.
00:53:10I must put them in water.
00:53:12Let me help.
00:53:13We haven't done the dinner dishes yet.
00:53:15I hate to let you see my kitchen.
00:53:17It's such a mess.
00:53:18I'll keep my eyes shut.
00:53:21And your mouth, too, I hope.
00:53:33Dot, let's do the dinner dishes, huh?
00:53:35No, Dagwood, you don't feel well.
00:53:37Give me time to get some of the breath,
00:53:38and Dorothy and I will do them.
00:53:39How's everything going, Blondie?
00:53:42Just grand.
00:53:44Well, I received your note, and...
00:53:45And we're glad to have you.
00:53:46Here, let me see.
00:53:49Are you happy?
00:53:51Of course.
00:53:52What a question.
00:53:53Well, how's Dagwood getting along?
00:53:55Oh, he's doing awfully well.
00:53:58Awfully.
00:54:02Gone long enough to grow the flowers.
00:54:04What did you say, Dagwood?
00:54:05I could say a lot of things if I had a chance.
00:54:08Oh, what do you want to say?
00:54:09Well, nothing.
00:54:11Oh.
00:54:21Look, Mother, aren't they lovely?
00:54:24And so autistic.
00:54:25Well, I'll answer it.
00:54:32By the way, Blondie, haven't you some new furniture since I was here last?
00:54:35When were you here last?
00:54:37It's for you, Dagwood.
00:54:39Who is it?
00:54:40Who is it, please?
00:54:42It's Elsie.
00:54:46Elsie.
00:54:48Elsie.
00:54:50Elsie.
00:54:51Elsie?
00:54:52Yeah, Elsie.
00:54:53Well, hey, Dag, Dad wants to know where you put the handle to the vacuum cleaner.
00:54:59It's in the closet.
00:55:04In the B-E-D-R-O-O-M.
00:55:08Bedroom.
00:55:11Bedroom?
00:55:17Blondie, don't.
00:55:18Don't.
00:55:18You take your hands off my wife.
00:55:23What Blondie needs now is a friend.
00:55:25Yeah, since when do you know what my wife needs?
00:55:27Why, Elsie?
00:55:28Daddy.
00:55:29A burka.
00:55:31All right, you ask for it.
00:55:35Oh, what a fight, man.
00:55:37What a fight.
00:55:37I could bump stairs.
00:55:38Don't you dare.
00:55:40Dorothy, take the baby upstairs.
00:55:42I don't want to see.
00:55:43I don't want to bump stairs.
00:55:45I apologize to everyone.
00:55:48I suppose I'd better leave.
00:55:50Blondie, if you need me, just call.
00:55:54Oh, you've made a fine mess of our anniversary.
00:55:57Control yourself, dear.
00:55:58I can't.
00:55:59I can't control myself any longer.
00:56:01No one knows what I've gone through today.
00:56:03I tried to smile and bear up, but this is the last straw.
00:56:06That woman calling you up in my house, in front of my baby.
00:56:09Oh, how could you?
00:56:11Blondie, I can explain everything if you'll give me just 15 minutes.
00:56:14You couldn't explain Elsie in 15 years.
00:56:16The man was here and told me about her and the note.
00:56:19Blondie, that's different from what you think.
00:56:21That's serious.
00:56:22Serious?
00:56:23Sure, she's a different Elsie.
00:56:25I can explain her, too.
00:56:27Two Elsies?
00:56:28No wonder you fainted.
00:56:30Blondie, listen to what I have to say.
00:56:32It would only be more lies.
00:56:34Blondie, Blondie, darling.
00:56:36You, you, philanthropist.
00:56:38If you won't listen to me, maybe you'll listen to somebody else.
00:56:46Oh, darling, you mustn't.
00:56:50This is a time to be brave.
00:56:52Oh, my car's been stolen.
00:57:08Police, police.
00:57:09Dorothy, Chester.
00:57:11Where are you?
00:57:12Deadwood, Deadwood.
00:57:13Where is someone?
00:57:14Oh, dear, oh, dear.
00:57:15Help me, help me.
00:57:17Are you a policeman?
00:57:18No, but I have a seizure order for the furniture in this house.
00:57:21Go ahead, boys.
00:57:21Oh, my car's been stolen.
00:57:23Oh, help me, help me, somebody, help me.
00:57:25Dial operator and say I want a policeman.
00:57:31Oh, hello, operator, operator, hello.
00:57:36I tell you, you have to help me.
00:57:37It's a matter of life and death.
00:57:38My wife, she's leaving me.
00:57:40Everybody's leaving me.
00:57:41They won't even let me talk.
00:57:42We've been letting you talk for 10 minutes,
00:57:44and I can't make heads or tails of it.
00:57:46Can you, Elsie?
00:57:46No, but I'm beginning to think we're mixed up in it somehow.
00:57:50Of course you are.
00:57:50That's why you have to help me.
00:57:52Dag, get a grip on yourself.
00:57:54This time, you've really hit the jackpot with your tinkering.
00:57:57Now, Elsie, that isn't it.
00:57:58It's something about another Elsie,
00:57:59or else he isn't making himself clear.
00:58:01This is no time for puns.
00:58:03Easy, Dag, you're getting yourself all worked up over nothing.
00:58:06That's a trouble.
00:58:07She won't believe it's nothing.
00:58:09Well, what do you want us to do?
00:58:10Help me.
00:58:11Oh, that's easy.
00:58:12Elsie, get your wraps.
00:58:13We'll all go over to your house and straighten it out.
00:58:15Oh, who would you?
00:58:17Sure, I was wanting some fresh air anyhow.
00:58:24It still won't work.
00:58:26All right, I'm ready.
00:58:29Please, Dad, get that thing out of here
00:58:31before it causes any more trouble.
00:58:33Maybe we ought to take it along to prove things.
00:58:35Yes, let's do.
00:58:36Here, Dag, you take it.
00:58:39Here.
00:58:41Wrap this around it.
00:58:42Uh, just in case.
00:58:43Oh, oh, yeah.
00:58:48Wait a minute.
00:58:50There's one thing I want to know.
00:58:53Your word of honor on this.
00:58:55Did your wife give you that black eye?
00:58:58No.
00:58:59Very well.
00:59:00I'll talk to her,
00:59:00and in no time at all, I'll fix it.
00:59:02You'll fix it.
00:59:03Well, here we go, ready or not.
00:59:05Dag, is this the first time you've ever driven this car?
00:59:13Yes.
00:59:13This is the first time I've ever driven any car.
00:59:20Don't look now, but I think we hit a police car.
00:59:22Oh, oh, oh.
00:59:29In a big hurry, pal?
00:59:31Yes, sir.
00:59:32You see, I'm going.
00:59:32We know where you're going.
00:59:34I'm sorry, officer.
00:59:35So are we.
00:59:36We're all broken up about it.
00:59:37I held my hand out.
00:59:39What's your name?
00:59:40Dagwood Bumstead.
00:59:41And this is Mr. C.P. Hazlett and his daughter Elsie.
00:59:45Let's don't get too formal.
00:59:46Hey, Art, this is a stolen car.
00:59:48We had a report on it.
00:59:48Okay, break up that crowd, and we'll follow you at the station.
00:59:51Keep your hands on that wheel, pal. You stay where you are, too.
00:59:54This isn't a stolen car, officer. It belongs to my mother-in-law.
00:59:57Yeah, and I suppose that's your mother-in-law's body.
01:00:04Who does this belong to?
01:00:06It's mine, but you can have it.
01:00:10Property of the Hotel Brinkley. Do not remove from premises.
01:00:13No thanks, pal. You're stuck with it.
01:00:16Dad, this is the most fun we've had since you took that farmer's tractor apart.
01:00:20Shh! Move over.
01:00:22Huh? Move over!
01:00:25I should have known better.
01:00:27Never speak to strangers in a hotel lobby.
01:00:33Don't worry, Dag. I'll have you out of here in no time.
01:00:36Now, listen, sergeant. This is unprecedented, unconstitutional, and...
01:00:40Unexpected.
01:00:41I can explain it all in ten words.
01:00:43You get a chance in the morning. Lock them up.
01:00:46Let me be the last to congratulate you. You've done it again.
01:00:49Yeah.
01:00:50What's this girl got to do with it?
01:00:52You tell him, Dag. I've been trying to figure that out myself.
01:00:55She hasn't anything to do with it, sergeant. She's just an innocent bystander.
01:00:59Innocent bystander. They probably have a love list.
01:01:02Well, she can go, but we're holding you.
01:01:05Sergeant, could I just say a word to my wife?
01:01:07All right, but be quick about it.
01:01:08At least you'll have a bed to sleep in.
01:01:14How can I sleep when I may never see you again?
01:01:17But I want you to know I love you.
01:01:22That's a fine speech for a cab to make.
01:01:27Chester, you've had this coming for a long time.
01:01:29Hey, wait a minute.
01:01:31What's going on?
01:01:32Don't you know better than to hit a man in a police station?
01:01:34If I'm going to jail, I'm going good.
01:01:36Good. Lock him up.
01:01:38No, no.
01:01:41Is your name, Elsie?
01:01:42Yes.
01:01:43Then if it weren't for you, this never would have happened.
01:01:45Oh, me.
01:01:47Just how do you mix me up in this?
01:01:48Listen. Any more trouble around here tonight, and I'll lock you all up.
01:01:52Yes, sir.
01:01:53Yes, sir.
01:02:01That is of no interest to this court.
01:02:03Your willingness to reimburse the hotel might interest the hotel.
01:02:07But the facts are that you removed a vacuum cleaner from the premises of the hotel,
01:02:10and it wasn't your vacuum cleaner.
01:02:13Look at the court.
01:02:15And you took an automobile that didn't belong to you.
01:02:19The fact that the car belonged to your mother-in-law may alter the situation somewhat.
01:02:24Nevertheless, you're guilty of a criminal action.
01:02:27Mommy, why doesn't Daddy say something?
01:02:31Order, order.
01:02:32In addition, you have both been most inconsiderate of others.
01:02:37You jeopardize the properties which you say you only borrow.
01:02:40Borrowing technically requires the permission of the lender.
01:02:43That you did not obtain.
01:02:45Your conduct has been thoughtless and reckless.
01:02:46I might say criminally thoughtless and reckless.
01:02:49And therefore, deserving of severe punishment.
01:02:51Judge, your honor.
01:02:53Don't.
01:02:53Please don't.
01:02:54Order, order.
01:02:55What is your connection with this case?
01:02:57I'm his wife.
01:02:59Whose wife?
01:03:00The one who stole the automobile.
01:03:02In that case, proceed with what you have to say.
01:03:04It's all my fault, your honor.
01:03:06Why, he wouldn't do anything wrong for the world.
01:03:09He's just like a baby.
01:03:11You can't send him to jail.
01:03:13Well, what would he do?
01:03:14He needs me, judge.
01:03:16Last night was the first night he's been away from me since baby was born.
01:03:20Just one night, and he's a wreck.
01:03:23Look at him.
01:03:24I lost my hat.
01:03:26Mother would have loaned him her car.
01:03:28Only he forgot to ask her.
01:03:30It's all my fault.
01:03:31I'm the one to be punished.
01:03:33I was jealous.
01:03:35And he went after Mr. Hazlip and his daughter to prove I had no right to be.
01:03:39You see, it all started because I kept nagging him about a raise.
01:03:43No, you didn't.
01:03:45Yes, I did, too.
01:03:46No, you didn't, dear.
01:03:47Now, listen.
01:03:48Make up your mind.
01:03:49Did she or didn't she?
01:03:50She did.
01:03:52Continue.
01:03:53As for the vacuum cleaner, neither one of them meant to steal it.
01:03:57They just like to tinker.
01:03:59Dad was always tinkering.
01:04:01It's the little boy in him.
01:04:02Most men have a lot of little boy in them.
01:04:05Why, I bet even you like to take things apart and put them back together.
01:04:12Proceed.
01:04:13So, that hasn't anything to do with it.
01:04:16It's just me.
01:04:17I promise I'll never do it again.
01:04:19Can't you let me off, Judge?
01:04:21Let you off?
01:04:23Just a minute, young lady.
01:04:24You're not on trial here.
01:04:25Oh, yes, I am.
01:04:26If it's a criminal action, then I'm the criminal.
01:04:29Mrs. Bumstead, it's refreshing to hear her wife express her will.
01:04:32She's not willing as to share her husband's troubles.
01:04:35That, after all, is an attitude of give and take which makes married a success.
01:04:38But I suggest that you confine your obligations to your home.
01:04:42Don't be an office wife.
01:04:45Mr. Bumstead, you're to be congratulated in having such a mate.
01:04:48But you must learn to curb your impulsiveness.
01:04:53Mr. Haislip, a man of your means could devote himself to higher and more worthy pursuits than dissecting vacuum cleaners.
01:05:03Prisoner's dismissed.
01:05:05Thanks, Case.
01:05:06From now on, I'm attending strictly to...
01:05:08So am I.
01:05:09By the way, Dag, what is your business?
01:05:10Oh, he works for the J.C. Dithers Company.
01:05:13Dithers? No.
01:05:15And you came over to see me about that Southside development?
01:05:19Well, why didn't you say so?
01:05:22The deal's yours.
01:05:23Just tell your company to submit their plans.
01:05:25Dagwood, isn't that wonderful?
01:05:27But I lost my job.
01:05:30You lost your job?
01:05:32Oh, you poor boy.
01:05:33Don't worry about that.
01:05:35They'll take you back when they find out you have my proposition sewed up.
01:05:38Oh, Mr. Haislip.
01:05:40Mr. Haislip, I'm J.C. Dithers.
01:05:42I just wanted you to know that we're not responsible for the trouble Bumstead's caught you.
01:05:45He's no longer connected with my firm.
01:05:46Oh, that's too bad.
01:05:48Goodbye, Dag.
01:05:49Come along, dear.
01:05:50You've been so sweet.
01:05:51We'll expect you over to the hotel this evening.
01:05:53And thanks again, Mrs. Bumstead, for my freedom.
01:05:55Now, about that Southside development.
01:05:58It's all in Mr. Bumstead's hands.
01:05:59Excuse me.
01:06:00So, Dagwood, how are you?
01:06:05I was just on the way over to see what I can do for you.
01:06:08Well, you look all worn out.
01:06:09Maybe you better take the rest of the day off.
01:06:11Just a minute.
01:06:12Dagwood isn't working for you anymore.
01:06:14You fired him.
01:06:15Darn sense.
01:06:16Dagwood and I had a little disagreement, but we understand each other, don't we, Dagwood?
01:06:21The only thing Dagwood understands is he's fired.
01:06:24But we have a gentleman's agreement.
01:06:26He's to get a $10 raise and $600 bonus.
01:06:28You had an agreement, Mr. Dithers, but you fired him, and that changes everything.
01:06:33What do you mean, Blondie?
01:06:34I mean, it's not enough.
01:06:36I mean, Dagwood can take this contract and go into business for himself.
01:06:40Why, he wouldn't do anything like that to me, would you, Dagwood?
01:06:44Oh, yes, he would.
01:06:46Little old $10 raise and $600 bonus.
01:06:50Your salesmen get two and a half percent.
01:06:52But that's $5,000.
01:06:53Exactly.
01:06:55And as for a raise, Dagwood ought to get $20 after all he's been through.
01:07:00Dagwood, you're a hard man to do business with.
01:07:03All right, it's a deal.
01:07:04No, it's not a deal.
01:07:05We won $1,000 right away.
01:07:07But it's only $563, isn't it?
01:07:10$1,000 in advance.
01:07:13All right, come over to the office and get the check.
01:07:15But don't you be late tomorrow.
01:07:16What?
01:07:16I mean, send him over at a reasonable time, will you?
01:07:22Dagwood, you were wonderful.
01:07:25Yeah, with $1,000, we can get the furniture and pay off everything.
01:07:29Baby Dumpling!
01:07:30I thought he was with you!
01:07:32He's lost.
01:07:33You go that way and I'll go this way.
01:07:35Baby Dumpling!
01:07:36Baby Dumpling!
01:07:38Baby Dumpling!
01:07:41Baby Dumpling!
01:07:46What are you doing?
01:07:51I'm helping the man fix it.
01:07:53That's right.
01:07:54But I think we'll have to take the whole thing apart.
01:07:56You will?
01:07:59Oh, boy.
01:08:01Baby Dumpling!
01:08:15Dagwood!
01:08:16Sometimes I think it's harder to raise a husband than a baby.
01:08:26Sometimes I think it's harder to raise a husband than a baby.
