WEBVTT 00:00:26.274 --> 00:00:33.969 - young once. This is a film of my sister the summer she was born. Turns out the illness she's diagnosed 00:00:33.969 --> 00:00:41.889 - as having is genetic. So I thought of this scene. I thought of this baby with that destiny already locked 00:00:41.889 --> 00:00:49.435 - inside her. I'm sorry that destiny took all this time to show itself. I'm happy we lived long enough 00:00:49.435 --> 00:00:53.918 - to share it. Somewhere in between is how I feel day to day. 00:00:55.106 --> 00:01:02.585 - Yeah, it could have been much worse. I know that. But I don't think I really believed it till I saw 00:01:02.585 --> 00:01:05.726 - this. Another story about another sister. 00:01:42.690 --> 00:01:52.266 - barbers they could get. And they need him for certain job. What kind of job they needed for it, we didn't 00:01:52.266 --> 00:02:01.481 - know at that time. But we gathered together as many barbers as we could. How long did it happen after 00:02:01.481 --> 00:02:10.334 - you arrived in Treblinka? I would say that it happened about four weeks after I was in Treblinka. 00:02:19.874 --> 00:02:32.688 - was around 10 o'clock when a transport came to Treblinka and the woman went into the gas chambers. And 00:02:32.688 --> 00:02:45.503 - they chose some people from the working people over there and they asked question who was a barber who 00:02:45.503 --> 00:02:47.742 - was not a barber. 00:02:48.354 --> 00:03:00.849 - I was a barber for quite a number of years. And some of them they knew me like from people from just 00:03:00.849 --> 00:03:13.345 - all over and from other places. So naturally they choose me and I selected some more barbers which I 00:03:13.345 --> 00:03:18.046 - know of them. And we got it together. 00:03:18.178 --> 00:03:31.784 - Official, yes. We got it together and we're waiting for the order. And the order came to go with them, 00:03:31.784 --> 00:03:44.862 - with the Germans. They took us in to the gas chamber, to the second part of the camp in Treblinka. 00:03:48.130 --> 00:03:58.701 - from the first part? It was not too far more. It was all covered with gates, barbed wires, and trees 00:03:58.701 --> 00:04:09.377 - covering the gate. Nobody should see there is a gate or there is a place going in to the gas chamber. 00:04:09.377 --> 00:04:13.982 - Is it what the Germans called the Schlauch? 00:04:17.282 --> 00:04:29.159 - The Germans, what they call, they call like going to road to the heaven. Human way, yeah, the road to 00:04:29.159 --> 00:04:40.919 - the heaven. And we know about it because we worked for quite a time before we went in to work in the 00:04:40.919 --> 00:04:46.974 - gestion. Going over there, they put in some benches 00:04:48.482 --> 00:04:58.926 - where the women could sit and not to have the idea that this is their last way or their last time they're 00:04:58.926 --> 00:05:08.878 - going to live or they're going to breathe or they're going to know what is going on. How long did it 00:05:08.878 --> 00:05:18.238 - last that the barbers cut the hair inside the gas chamber? Because it was not always the case. 00:05:19.426 --> 00:05:30.215 - We worked inside the gas chamber for about a week or 10 days. After that, they decided that we will 00:05:30.215 --> 00:05:41.544 - cut the hair in the undressing barrack. How did it look, the gas chamber? It was a room, not a big room. 00:05:41.544 --> 00:05:48.126 - The room was, I would say, the size by feet around 12 by 12. 00:05:49.570 --> 00:05:59.687 - In that room, they pushed in a lot of women, almost one on top of the other one. But like I mentioned 00:05:59.687 --> 00:06:09.606 - before, when we came in, we didn't know what we gonna do. And then one of the couples that came in, 00:06:09.606 --> 00:06:18.334 - he said, barbers, you have to do a job to make to believe all those women that came in, 00:06:19.426 --> 00:06:29.356 - they just taking a haircut and going to take a shower and from there they go out from this place. We 00:06:29.356 --> 00:06:39.285 - know already that there is no way going out from this room because this room is the last place where 00:06:39.285 --> 00:06:45.086 - they went in alive and they will never go out alive again. 00:06:49.506 --> 00:07:03.971 - precisely to describe is when the transport came in, waiting there until the transport came in. The 00:07:03.971 --> 00:07:13.374 - transport came in, woman with children pushing in to that place. 00:07:15.202 --> 00:07:24.213 - the barbers started to cut the hair and some of them, I would say all of them, some of them they knew 00:07:24.213 --> 00:07:33.225 - already what's gonna happen to them. We tried to do the best what we could. The most human being what 00:07:33.225 --> 00:07:40.734 - we could. Excuse me, how did it happen when the woman came and does the gas chamber? 00:07:41.026 --> 00:07:50.177 - Were you yourself already in the gas chamber or did you come afterwards? I said we were already in the 00:07:50.177 --> 00:07:59.239 - gas chamber because we were waiting over there for the transport to come in. You were inside? Inside, 00:07:59.239 --> 00:08:08.390 - yes, inside the gas chamber. We were already in. And suddenly you saw the women coming? Yes, they came 00:08:08.390 --> 00:08:10.078 - in. How were they? 00:08:10.498 --> 00:08:18.639 - They were undressed, all naked, without clothes, without anything else. All of them completely naked. 00:08:18.639 --> 00:08:26.780 - Completely naked. All the women and all the children. And the children too. The children too. Because 00:08:26.780 --> 00:08:35.081 - they came from the undressing barracks. There was barracks before going into the gas chamber where they 00:08:35.081 --> 00:08:39.870 - had undressed themselves. What did you feel the first time? 00:08:40.194 --> 00:08:49.435 - that it happened that you saw all these naked women coming? Well, I felt that, accordingly, I got to 00:08:49.435 --> 00:08:58.949 - do what they told me, to cut the hair in a way that it should look like a barber is doing his job, like 00:08:58.949 --> 00:09:08.190 - he's doing a job for a woman, and I said not to give them. But to take off as much hair as we could, 00:09:08.482 --> 00:09:17.356 - because they needed the woman's hair to be transported to Germany. This means that you didn't shave 00:09:17.356 --> 00:09:26.496 - them. No, we did not shave them. We just cut their hair, make them believe that they're getting a nice 00:09:26.496 --> 00:09:35.458 - haircut. But you cut with what? With scissors? With scissors, yes. With scissors and we come without 00:09:35.458 --> 00:09:37.854 - any clippers. Just like... 00:09:38.434 --> 00:09:47.499 - A man's haircut, I would say. Not a body one to take out, to take off all the hair, but just to have 00:09:47.499 --> 00:09:57.102 - the imagination that they're getting a nice haircut. There were no mirrors, no? No, there were no mirrors, 00:09:57.102 --> 00:10:06.526 - there were just benches, not chairs, but just benches, where we worked about 16, 17 barbers, and we had, 00:10:07.010 --> 00:10:17.191 - a lot of women in. Every haircut, it took about two minutes. No more than that because it was a lot 00:10:17.191 --> 00:10:27.373 - of women to come in and to get rid of the hair. Can you imitate now? How did you do? How we did? We 00:10:27.373 --> 00:10:35.518 - did as fast as we could because we were quite a number of professional barbers. 00:10:46.114 --> 00:10:54.248 - We cut this like this, here and there, and there, and this side and this side, and the head was all 00:10:54.248 --> 00:11:02.381 - finished. With big movements. With big, naturally, with big movement because we could not waste any 00:11:02.381 --> 00:11:10.515 - time. The other party was waiting already outside coming in to do the same thing, the same job, the 00:11:10.515 --> 00:11:15.070 - same procedure. You said that you were 16 barbers. Yes. 00:11:16.610 --> 00:11:27.565 - You cut the hair of how many women in one batch? In one batch, there was about, I would say, going into 00:11:27.565 --> 00:11:38.099 - that place, between 60 and 70 women in the same room at one time. And after that, we were finished. 00:11:38.099 --> 00:11:46.526 - With this party, another party came in, and it was around about 140, 150 women. 00:11:46.658 --> 00:11:56.889 - They all were already taken care of. They told us to leave the gas chamber for a few minutes, about 00:11:56.889 --> 00:12:07.121 - five minutes, where they put in the gas and they chucked into that. Where did you wait? Outside the 00:12:07.121 --> 00:12:14.078 - gas chamber. And on the other side, on this side the woman went in. 00:12:14.562 --> 00:12:21.508 - And the other side was a group working people, which they took out already the dead bodies. 00:12:21.508 --> 00:12:29.209 - Some of them, they were not exactly dead. They took him out, and in two, not even two minutes, in one 00:12:29.209 --> 00:12:37.212 - minute everything was clear. And it was clean to take in the other party of the other woman to go through 00:12:37.212 --> 00:12:41.214 - the same thing what the first one they went through. 00:12:42.498 --> 00:12:50.226 - these women, they had long hair? Most of them, they had long hair, they had short hair, but we had to 00:12:50.226 --> 00:12:57.953 - do the job to get rid of the hair. Like I mentioned that, the Germans, they needed the hair for their 00:12:57.953 --> 00:13:05.756 - purposes. But I have asked you, and you didn't answer, what was your impression the first time you saw 00:13:05.756 --> 00:13:10.302 - arriving this naked woman with children? What did you feel? 00:13:11.682 --> 00:13:18.785 - I want to tell you something. To have a feeling over there was very hard to feel anything or to have 00:13:18.785 --> 00:13:26.100 - a feeling. Because working there day and night between dead people, between bodies, man and woman, your 00:13:26.100 --> 00:13:33.414 - feeling disappeared. You were dead with your feeling. You had no feeling at all. Matter of fact, I want 00:13:33.414 --> 00:13:41.150 - to tell you something what happened. At the gas chamber, when I was chosen in over there to work as a barber, 00:13:41.762 --> 00:13:50.157 - of women that came in from a transport from my town from Chester Hall. And from the women, from the 00:13:50.157 --> 00:13:58.552 - number of women, I know a lot of people. You knew them? I know them. I live with them in my town. I 00:13:58.552 --> 00:14:06.948 - live with them in my street. And I was, some of them, they were my close friends. And when they saw 00:14:06.948 --> 00:14:09.886 - me, all of them started hugging me 00:14:11.394 --> 00:14:21.479 - tape this and that, what are you doing here, what's gonna happen with us? What could you tell them? 00:14:21.479 --> 00:14:32.069 - What could you tell? A friend of mine, he worked as a barber, he was also a good barber in my home town. 00:14:32.069 --> 00:14:37.918 - When his wife and his sister came into the guest chamber, 00:18:48.610 --> 00:19:11.373 - So, ready for some escape? Well, let's stretch it real tight tonight. In this corner, the Perils of 00:19:11.373 --> 00:19:18.430 - Pauline starring Betty Hutton. 00:19:19.138 --> 00:19:25.450 - hails from Battle Creek, Michigan and as you'll see the fact that that's also the birthplace of Tony 00:19:25.450 --> 00:19:27.262 - the Tiger is no coincidence. 00:25:19.298 --> 00:25:31.051 - Think of a sergeant on my half, huh? Just for that, you're all dark to half days. Hey, how do you like 00:25:31.051 --> 00:25:42.919 - that? Oh, look, Mr. Gert, don't take it out on those girls. It was all my fault. And I'm sorry. Honest, 00:25:42.919 --> 00:25:48.510 - I am. You're sorry, huh? Mr. Goy, the space man. 00:25:48.930 --> 00:25:56.075 - Nightmares you're having, that's funny. Oh, I was only clowning. Well, I think you're swell. Oh, 00:25:56.075 --> 00:26:03.736 - come on, be a nice guy. Those kids need the dough. You wouldn't really dock them, would you? Well, then 00:26:03.736 --> 00:26:11.398 - I'll depend. He's pimping a lot. Oh, and you're being nice to me. Oh, I'm always nice to you, Mr. Gert. 00:26:11.398 --> 00:26:17.438 - Joe is the name. Miss Joe. Lay off me, you big ape, or I'll knock your teeth out. 00:26:27.906 --> 00:26:37.267 - have a way with you my dear. The girl's best friend's a good looping right. Very effective too, my child. 00:26:37.267 --> 00:26:46.098 - Oh, Miss Gibbs. I must have had one of my dizzy spells. When I was her age, lots of chaps got dizzy 00:26:46.098 --> 00:26:51.838 - spells. Me, it was the left. My costume, please. I'm in a hurry. 00:26:57.698 --> 00:27:04.733 - I remember seeing you in Thunder Cloud. I've seen it twice. Gee whore, you drink that poison. You sure 00:27:04.733 --> 00:27:11.700 - do die elegant. Thank you, child. You bless me. Oh, it ain't only you. It's anybody in show business. 00:27:11.700 --> 00:27:18.188 - Well, I think they're the most wonderful people there is. Then I take it you like the theater. 00:27:18.188 --> 00:27:25.292 - Like it? Oh, gosh, Miss Gibbs. If I could only be on a stage, why? Just to think about it makes me sick 00:27:25.292 --> 00:27:27.614 - at my stomach. Child. Here it is. 00:27:32.578 --> 00:27:39.324 - I'll send you a check. Got them costumes. It's strictly for cash. But my... Get her on the phone. She 00:27:39.324 --> 00:27:46.135 - brings down the cash and the garment is yours. Impossible. We'll be opening down the list tonight. I'm 00:27:46.135 --> 00:27:53.146 - on my way to the train now. Oil, put it back in stock. Oh, gee. Wait. Have this child come to the station 00:27:53.146 --> 00:27:59.230 - with me. I'm meeting my secretary there. She'll give her a check. She'll give her the cash. 00:28:02.338 --> 00:28:10.652 - You think I'm a deadbeat? I ain't saying you ain't nothing, just no checks. Very well. You shall have 00:28:10.652 --> 00:28:17.662 - your paltry pennies. And now, you greedy and polite lout. Open the door for the lady. 00:28:32.962 --> 00:28:43.116 - If you give her the costume without the cash, you're stuck for it. Sorry. Sorry, Prince. I can't stand 00:28:43.116 --> 00:28:53.861 - for any further delay. In another five minutes, they'll be tearing my theater apart. Where is this building? 00:28:53.861 --> 00:29:02.142 - I don't know. But we'll open anyway. Open? Come on. Hurry up. Open. Open with what? 00:29:02.466 --> 00:29:11.109 - going to play Lady Capulet. He is. Under protest. Breathe in. Tarrington, you're crazy, I tell you. 00:29:11.109 --> 00:29:19.752 - Go away. Go, boss. Please. Tarrington, this is a mouthway. It's our only chance. Now, hurry up. No! 00:29:19.752 --> 00:29:26.494 - Too tight! I can't breathe! Too tight! The mustache! Oh, no, not my mustache! 00:29:33.954 --> 00:29:40.144 - Oh, I ought to greet you with a good, swift kick. Where have you been? I ought to hang you in front 00:29:40.144 --> 00:29:46.766 - of the theater window. Where are you, Irish clown? We've a bit of a problem here. Listen to that audience. 00:29:46.766 --> 00:29:53.142 - Get into your costume. I said we've a bit of a problem. Miss White meets the Farrington. Hello. Hello. 00:29:53.142 --> 00:29:59.517 - Don't stand there. Get dressed. I promised Miss White an audition. You what? She has great talent. She 00:29:59.517 --> 00:30:02.302 - also has my costume. Here, for 98 bucks. 98? 00:30:07.266 --> 00:30:14.168 - I promised you an audition. You have come at the most opportune moment. Not a word, not a word. Oh, 00:30:14.168 --> 00:30:21.071 - not at all, my dear, not at all. Oh, don't thank me, it's no trouble. The Barrington players always 00:30:21.071 --> 00:30:27.973 - keep it packed. We have the costumes. You have the audition and an audience to boot. You want to be 00:30:27.973 --> 00:30:33.150 - an actress, don't you? You'll have to learn to face all kinds of audience. 00:30:46.754 --> 00:30:49.246 - We'll get things set back there. 00:31:21.218 --> 00:31:29.122 - a little break and it's mighty important that I get it. All I want to do is sing a little song for you. 00:31:29.122 --> 00:31:36.950 - I am back to the bean race! Sheriff! If I'm any good, give me a little hand. If I ain't, you can break 00:31:36.950 --> 00:31:44.550 - up the things and toss them at me and I promise I'll toss them back, okay? Hey, do you know Rumble? 00:31:44.550 --> 00:31:50.174 - Yeah, number 16, boys. What key? I don't know, just so it ain't too high. 00:32:08.162 --> 00:32:18.974 - what I tell my landlord. Landlord? I gotta move. Now there's a man live right upstairs from me, making 00:32:18.974 --> 00:32:29.996 - a nightmare of some melody. This is a situation not likely to improve. He goes to rumble, rumble, rumble 00:32:29.996 --> 00:32:35.454 - on the left hand. He goes to tinkle, tinkle, tinkle 00:32:56.418 --> 00:33:04.670 - No, he doesn't either! 00:33:26.434 --> 00:33:32.652 - Why a kettle of tea up there, or maybe getting himself a girl and taking her out somewhere instead of 00:33:32.652 --> 00:33:38.992 - sitting around reading the jobs, washing his dogs, writing his books, taking a pill, sleeping the night 00:33:38.992 --> 00:33:45.758 - through. What does he do? What does he do? He goes rumble, rumble, rumble, look at the whole building crumble. 00:52:22.658 --> 00:52:23.134 - no longer 01:10:30.402 --> 01:10:36.762 - I don't get so I sacrifice all this and I permit myself to be told by the yard like like so much monolium 01:10:36.762 --> 01:10:38.622 - I can pay the hundred dollars. 01:11:21.442 --> 01:11:42.088 - no savvy pearl you'll notice Blossom. I'll grab her way. Out to me near. All right start talking. 01:11:42.088 --> 01:11:51.358 - I think. I think all we got is a camera see 01:11:51.746 --> 01:12:01.677 - a photograph no words you're going to give it that you're going to use your hand you're right there 01:12:01.677 --> 01:12:11.906 - like they were tied down there let me show you. On that woman or I'll put you in the kitchen. You know 01:12:11.906 --> 01:12:16.574 - I mean you don't need actors you need acrobats 01:12:21.602 --> 01:12:28.919 - a million dollar personality and a great the deacon and the audience want to see you with it won't be 01:12:28.919 --> 01:12:36.595 - bought Oh sure why when you come busting in through that door like a chunk of exploding dynamite audiences 01:12:36.595 --> 01:12:44.127 - are going to start cheering you know they will. Well of course if we're playing for homes for the people 01:12:44.127 --> 01:12:50.942 - minded let's go. Take it easy. We'll pick it up from where Timmy grabs Pearl people minded and 01:12:56.994 --> 01:13:00.702 - American. And that woman. 01:13:37.922 --> 01:13:42.270 - Mike great if I don't. 01:14:21.346 --> 01:14:27.232 - a balloon. I wonder what genius thought this one up. But McGuire. Should have known the natural conclusion 01:14:27.232 --> 01:14:32.788 - from McGuire. He's full of hot air too. Would you mind leaving some slack so my blood can get around 01:14:32.788 --> 01:14:38.344 - a little. Why all the hush hush McGuire, is this a state secret or something? If we're going to make 01:14:38.344 --> 01:14:43.955 - the afternoon edition you better give us your story now. You'll make it all right. You'll make it all 01:14:43.955 --> 01:14:49.456 - over the front page. I ain't never let you down yet, have I? Okay, then stick around a while. We're 01:14:49.456 --> 01:14:51.326 - already chief. Just stick around. 01:14:52.738 --> 01:15:00.065 - Wonder what kind of a hook to do is framing up now. You two know the scene, don't you? It's when Timmy 01:15:00.065 --> 01:15:07.392 - cuts the rope. Yeah, yeah. Are you sure this thing's tied off good? You're as safe as in your mother's 01:15:07.392 --> 01:15:14.577 - arms. Ready, Timmy? We'll make it. Set it up to position. All set, boys. All ready, boys. We'll make 01:15:14.577 --> 01:15:21.832 - it. Look here. If anything happens to that girl, I'm going to run you through without even sharpening 01:15:21.832 --> 01:15:22.686 - the points. 01:15:22.914 --> 01:15:35.982 - a jury that I quit wearing with it I got the thing I heard that broke the thing he's going to cut it 01:15:35.982 --> 01:15:49.309 - only a prop I'm not going to worry with it all right. That's that everybody. Come on to me get to that 01:15:49.309 --> 01:15:52.414 - row. I'm not sure if he 01:16:01.250 --> 01:16:11.961 - Pete, will you gnash? That's not gnashing. Cut. What's the matter with you? I was gnashing. You wasn't 01:16:11.961 --> 01:16:22.463 - gnashing. You were chewing. This is chewing. This is gnashing. Can't you tell the difference between 01:16:22.463 --> 01:16:31.198 - when you say it? Yeah, chew like a gnash and gnash like a chew. I shall compromise. 01:16:36.258 --> 01:16:53.161 - once again. Come on to make up on it. You know you're going to die but you're smiling at that OK for 01:16:53.161 --> 01:17:04.542 - a little sad now turn your head to the man you love now smile sadly 01:17:05.922 --> 01:17:08.158 - Great. Okay, Timmy. 01:17:41.474 --> 01:17:49.761 - Where's this contraption supposed to go up? Oh, I don't know. About 30 feet, I guess. And they're awful 01:17:49.761 --> 01:17:58.047 - big feet. Huh? Oh, well, I wouldn't worry. They've got a rope on it. You mean this one? Yeah, that's... 01:17:58.047 --> 01:18:06.652 - Ow! There's your story, just like I promised. Pearl White and her leading man trapped in a runaway balloon. 01:18:06.652 --> 01:18:10.238 - Is that a story? Get going, now. Ha, ha, ha. 01:18:18.114 --> 01:18:26.085 - It's all right. The balloon is right up there where they're hiding in the basket. No, I ain't, Mr. McGuire. 01:18:26.085 --> 01:18:33.613 - I'm here. I didn't get a chance to sneak in that basket like you said. Pearl, don't you know anything 01:18:33.613 --> 01:18:40.993 - about balloons? Only that they put something in them. The way we're shooting up is probably full of 01:18:40.993 --> 01:18:46.750 - some of your films. That'll be so funny. Why don't you do something about it? 01:18:47.682 --> 01:19:01.742 - do something you're the great serial queen fearless Fanny the do or die gal why don't you do something 01:19:01.742 --> 01:19:16.894 - I don't know anything about. You know about or something maybe I could. What's the matter I don't feel so good 01:19:52.770 --> 01:20:21.054 - Here we are with a life expectancy of maybe thirty minutes. I find myself worrying about keeping you dry. 01:20:21.538 --> 01:20:28.908 - That's the nicest roaring I've ever heard of. Now, now. Lightning is only electricity traveling through 01:20:28.908 --> 01:20:35.994 - space. Creates a vacuum. And there is just the air rushing back into the vacuum. It can't hurt you. 01:20:35.994 --> 01:20:43.364 - Go on. Go on, keep talking. I like the way your voice sort of bubbles through your shirt. Makes me feel 01:20:43.364 --> 01:20:50.238 - better. You mean my heart's still there? Mm-hmm. Good. I thought maybe it was still in my boots. 01:21:06.242 --> 01:21:26.836 - I want to say a lot of things. I can't seem to find the words. Mike, it doesn't take a lot of big words. 01:21:26.836 --> 01:21:34.878 - Just a few little ones will do it. Mike, 01:21:35.938 --> 01:21:45.143 - Will you say, Pearl, I love you? For millions of times I wondered how big you just said it. 01:21:45.143 --> 01:21:55.149 - Will you say it, Mike? I mean, even if it's just in fun? I love you, Pearl. That doesn't sound like 01:21:55.149 --> 01:22:04.254 - just for fun. It wasn't. It's something I've been trying not to say for a long, long time. 01:22:13.634 --> 01:22:15.998 - And he did 01:23:06.402 --> 01:23:16.994 - no cameras turning here this way I'll give you. Me as they do this when there's not only going to be 01:23:16.994 --> 01:23:28.216 - beautiful. And remember it's two weeks from today and you're all invited. Right up in front of the studio. 01:23:28.216 --> 01:23:34.718 - They tell him boys are going to give out with all promise me. 01:23:35.714 --> 01:23:43.073 - by a 60-piece symphony orchestra. Hold it. And get this. We're giving the honor of performing the wedding 01:23:43.073 --> 01:23:50.223 - ceremony to his honor, the mayor. Not bad, huh? But where did you first meet your fiancee, Miss White? 01:23:50.223 --> 01:23:57.374 - Oh, it was a long time ago in Danbury, Connecticut. He did it out of 98 diamonds. Nobody paid it back. 01:23:57.374 --> 01:24:04.733 - I'm ready for him, Miss White, over here by the flowers. Where's Mike? Mike? Farrington! Hey, Farrington! 01:24:04.733 --> 01:24:05.566 - Here he is. 01:24:07.042 --> 01:24:14.420 - OK, Fancy, come on, we're ready for you. Snap it up. All right, over here by the flowers. No, no, no, 01:24:14.420 --> 01:24:21.942 - put your arm around it. Come on, turn your head. Give him a smile. Give him a load of that personality. 01:24:21.942 --> 01:24:29.320 - All right, boys, shoot. Hold it. Now, one with parlor, me and my officer, making the arrangements for 01:24:29.320 --> 01:24:34.238 - the honeymoon. Come on, Mike. You've got plenty of time to see him. 01:24:36.226 --> 01:24:41.793 - a car on the road we've got a lot of work to do some of my boys are going to get married and a little 01:24:41.793 --> 01:24:47.742 - like where he's supposed to but I slapped them down we've got to have dignity a marriage ain't a hunky-dunky 01:24:47.742 --> 01:24:53.200 - show I'm thinking about getting a special train and send them on a tour of the country and give the 01:24:53.200 --> 01:24:58.767 - folks a chance to see if they can do a stunt in every town if they've got so many possibilities I get 01:24:58.767 --> 01:25:00.350 - a headache thinking about it 01:25:08.994 --> 01:25:16.701 - Yes. Seaman of the AP. Hey, wait a minute, that's me. All right, now come on, get close together. Keep 01:25:16.701 --> 01:25:24.557 - it quiet, will you, fellas? Hurry up, hurry up. Holy smoke, I'll be right down. The President is calling 01:25:24.557 --> 01:25:32.189 - a special session of Congress to declare war on Germany. Hey, wait a minute, boys, wait a minute. You 01:25:32.189 --> 01:25:37.950 - ain't heard the rest of the plan. We're going to have a reception right now. 01:25:38.882 --> 01:25:45.108 - a like that everything happens to me war they couldn't hold off till after the wedding now they got 01:25:45.108 --> 01:25:51.833 - to do it now and gum up everything. That's horrible you said it now we got to rewrite the last six episodes 01:25:51.833 --> 01:25:58.308 - hey where are them right it we got to write the war in battle cannons warships where are them guys I'll 01:25:58.308 --> 01:26:01.982 - get open on the job don't they know there's a war going on 01:26:09.378 --> 01:26:19.020 - Nobody talks here. Nobody's supposed to even think here. Step right up, ladies and gentlemen. Step right 01:26:19.020 --> 01:26:28.202 - up and have your talking and thinking done for you while you wait. No more problems to decide. It's 01:26:28.202 --> 01:26:37.569 - all done for you. Cost you nothing but your self-respect. Hey, you sound like you've been wasting one 01:26:37.569 --> 01:26:39.038 - too many, Mike. 01:26:43.138 --> 01:26:50.543 - to keep up the illusion that I'm a man. Mike, no man has to do what he doesn't want to do. Mr. Timmons, 01:26:50.543 --> 01:26:57.877 - in your unparalleled wisdom, you have uttered its truism. No man has to do what he doesn't want to do. 01:26:57.877 --> 01:27:05.425 - But you've left no room for the half-man, half-slave. I don't get it. You love her, don't you? Of course. 01:27:05.425 --> 01:27:12.830 - That's not enough. Look, you're doing all right for yourself. A lot better than those one-night stands. 01:27:21.378 --> 01:27:30.628 - the answer there's only one answer am I breaking out on something no see you later. What's this all 01:27:30.628 --> 01:27:40.525 - about. That's the turning of a worm now I take that back not even a worm I've lost my identity I'm nothing 01:27:40.525 --> 01:27:50.238 - zero minus Mike you still have man with me what's wrong with the woman helping the man she loves nothing 01:27:51.618 --> 01:27:58.940 - at all. This case is a fine business arrangement I get paid for every kid I'm going to have for overtime 01:27:58.940 --> 01:28:06.053 - Mike you're drunk I'm potentially I'm cock-eyed this business will get anybody that way Mike what are 01:28:06.053 --> 01:28:13.026 - you talking about look the only reason I got into this lunacy was to help you I felt like it builds 01:28:13.026 --> 01:28:20.000 - you up thank you play a scene without looking like something on a wire built you up but you drag me 01:28:20.000 --> 01:28:21.534 - down to where you are 01:28:23.522 --> 01:28:30.575 - Why, you cheap, insufferable, conceited snob, dragged you down. I'll fix that. Mike, Mike, why are you 01:28:30.575 --> 01:28:37.491 - doing this? You must have a reason. I believe you're doing it to get out of marrying me. That's why, 01:28:37.491 --> 01:28:44.681 - isn't it? Answer me, isn't it? I'm sorry, Pearl. Oh, but Mike, Mike, you can't stop loving me like that. 01:28:44.681 --> 01:28:51.597 - You said you loved me and you meant it. I know you did. You can't stop just like the turning off the 01:28:51.597 --> 01:28:52.830 - gas or something. 01:28:53.954 --> 01:29:03.509 - Say I'm a four-flushing ham, as you want to describe me. Let it go at that. All right, Mike. I guess 01:29:03.509 --> 01:29:13.159 - if a man feels that way, a girl would be a fool to try and hold him. Maybe someday you'll change your 01:29:13.159 --> 01:29:20.254 - mind. It'll be too late. So run along, Mr. Farrington. It hasn't been fun. 01:34:46.818 --> 01:34:54.289 - a little too tough about this I realize you have your troubles but who has it and old friends you got 01:34:54.289 --> 01:35:01.833 - to stick together and you what I'll do I'll send Pearl on a little vacation cancel this cereal and you 01:35:01.833 --> 01:35:10.110 - boys can have the West. Everything I was thinking about you you'll never regret this Mac we got to eat don't we. 01:35:21.762 --> 01:35:31.319 - See him in a minute. All right, run along, you thief, so you can keep your eye on your cashier. Got 01:35:31.319 --> 01:35:41.066 - to be a bigger nut in here, man. We'll make you a rich man in spite of yourself. And don't forget the 01:35:41.066 --> 01:35:50.814 - contract. You know me. My word is my bonus. Come on in. Hello, Max. Well, well. The talk of Broadway. 01:35:51.874 --> 01:36:01.676 - here in four little means office. And after so many years. What did you come for to read me your review. 01:36:01.676 --> 01:36:11.104 - Or you want to read or the review. I want to go to check out where is he thank you heard her enough. 01:36:11.104 --> 01:36:17.918 - So you agree with me you feel the line I'm a busy man get going with it. 01:36:19.842 --> 01:36:28.935 - Don't tell me where she is. I'm going to do something that you won't think is funny. Such as what? Such 01:36:28.935 --> 01:36:37.852 - as punch you right in the nose. Now, wait a minute. Wait a minute. What's it to you? What do you want 01:36:37.852 --> 01:36:46.683 - to know where she is for? I happen to love her. Oh, well. Here. You want to drop everything and rush 01:36:46.683 --> 01:36:48.606 - right over after her? 01:36:49.602 --> 01:37:03.551 - I never thought I'd live to see that they when I am open picture producer would be grateful to a Broadway 01:37:03.551 --> 01:37:12.894 - competitor I hope to play runs forever. Going to punch me in the nose. 01:37:24.034 --> 01:37:31.595 - and said a word in 30 seconds. What's wrong, Julia? Just sitting here, thinking of a great big beautiful 01:37:31.595 --> 01:37:39.156 - man. Why, Julia! Just happened to be reading variety. Just happened to come across a little item, saying 01:37:39.156 --> 01:37:46.501 - Mike Paddington's play had closed after a very successful one. Just happened. It just happens. I read 01:37:46.501 --> 01:37:53.918 - variety too, and I'm not interested. Does it all so happen when you received a wireless from his boat? 01:37:55.426 --> 01:38:02.497 - I know it's addressed to you. Says he'll be here tomorrow night. He wants to make you a little speech. 01:38:02.497 --> 01:38:09.706 - He's been rehearsing. What am I supposed to do now, holler for the smelling salts? Miss White, on stage, 01:38:09.706 --> 01:38:16.639 - please. All right. Why didn't you stop kidding yourself, child? That's just what I am doing. Does he 01:38:16.639 --> 01:38:23.230 - think he can cuff me out of his way any time he pleases and when he whistles I'll come running? 01:38:26.594 --> 01:38:30.206 - And don't try to cut it down to ten words. 01:44:39.618 --> 01:44:44.318 - I bet you couldn't be sure. Oh, Miss White, you mustn't be discouraged. You know, we'd... 01:45:22.498 --> 01:45:29.567 - a manicure. It's madness. Well, please, the doctors know what's best. Do they, Timmy? I never went to 01:45:29.567 --> 01:45:36.775 - medical school, but I'll bet all they ever talked to me about the heart was that it pumps blood. Right? 01:45:36.775 --> 01:45:43.705 - Miss Guz, we forbid it. She's taking a terrible risk. She's done that all her life. Neither you nor 01:45:43.705 --> 01:45:44.606 - anyone else. 01:45:59.714 --> 01:46:09.949 - the hospital as soon as you can be seen. Thank you. I know what you have in mind. It's completely stupid 01:46:09.949 --> 01:46:20.086 - it wouldn't make any difference to Mike I don't tend to let it make any difference to me when it's time 01:46:20.086 --> 01:46:27.006 - when you come and carry me down to the car you've carried me for years 01:46:31.842 --> 01:46:33.118 - Don't make any... 01:47:05.826 --> 01:47:16.861 - for seeing you again Mike we've been following your career in variety we all think you're pretty wonderful. 01:47:16.861 --> 01:47:27.386 - Well. Long time ago Julia told me that some day I learned to beg. I came over. When you marry me. Come 01:47:27.386 --> 01:47:34.334 - back to America. America. I couldn't I belong here this is my town. 01:47:35.074 --> 01:47:42.913 - Every time one of these Frenchmen holler bravo, I want to jump right over the footlights and kiss him. 01:47:42.913 --> 01:47:50.752 - I love it. No, Mike, I couldn't give it up. Then you don't have to. I'll stay here. All I want is you. 01:47:50.752 --> 01:47:58.363 - You know, Mike, I've waited for this day. The night you walked out on me, I began to make up things 01:47:58.363 --> 01:48:03.614 - I'd say if this moment ever arrived. Each day I'd add something new. 01:48:04.674 --> 01:48:14.098 - a little more violent. You don't know what it does to a girl to be jealous, Mike. Here you are. Nothing. 01:48:14.098 --> 01:48:23.431 - I'm not angry. I'm not anything. It just isn't important to me. What do you mean? I mean, Mike, I don't 01:48:23.431 --> 01:48:33.214 - love you anymore. Oh, I knew I had to get over you. You taught me how to be a perfectionist. Remember, Mike? 01:48:40.450 --> 01:48:49.073 - the gayest cities in the world. And there's no reason on earth why we can't have a wonderful time together. 01:48:49.073 --> 01:48:57.057 - No thanks. There's been a sudden change in my plans, and I'd like to get home. Do you mind dropping 01:48:57.057 --> 01:49:05.201 - me off here? Pierre, pull over to the curb. No hard feelings, Mike. Of course not. It's all been very 01:49:05.201 --> 01:49:06.718 - lovely, as well as 01:49:31.266 --> 01:49:46.149 - Mike, quickly. Get in. Sal, you couldn't catch the act, Timmy. First time in my life I've had a good 01:49:46.149 --> 01:49:57.054 - performance, and nobody's around to see it. I had just the right shading. 01:50:26.242 --> 01:50:33.310 - But Pearl, the doctor's waiting. Please, Timmy, a few more minutes won't make any difference. 01:51:03.266 --> 01:51:11.005 - always were a rotten actress. And you're still a rotten actress. That was a bad scene you played in 01:51:11.005 --> 01:51:18.590 - the car. I've always told you, if you want to be convincing, you mustn't lose your hands so much. 01:51:49.954 --> 01:52:19.838 - improved a bit. I guess I'll never learn. Lives are, of course, totally expendable. That's 01:52:19.938 --> 01:52:27.440 - expandable with an A. In the course of Betty Hutton's life, she made millions, declared bankruptcy, 01:52:27.440 --> 01:52:35.468 - was an instantly recognizable personality, dropped completely out of sight, spent her time in such diverse 01:52:35.468 --> 01:52:43.120 - occupations as movie star, patient in a psychiatric hospital, cook in a small rectory, in that order. 01:52:43.120 --> 01:52:46.046 - Oh yes, she was also someone's sister. 01:52:47.490 --> 01:52:55.218 - Do you think about all the bit players and extras in this movie tonight? All the men waiting in that 01:52:55.218 --> 01:53:03.099 - barbershop? All the women waiting for their haircut? It's not that one life seems so small. No friend, 01:53:03.099 --> 01:53:07.614 - just the opposite. One life? God, who could want for more?
