Hey, don't push back there.
Oh, come on.
Don't push back there. Take it easy.
Mary Martin has killed a man.
The state demands the full penalty
for this crime.
You cannot allow sentiment
to prejudice your verdict.
She's had a police record
from the age of 14.
This woman is a criminal.
Mary Martin is a menace to society.
Her guilt has been proved
beyond the shadow of a doubt.
She has stubbornly refused
to tell why she fired that fatal shot.
Her vicious criminal career...
...her cold-blooded confession...
...her very indifference throughout this trial,
all make your duty clear.
Mary Martin has taken a life.
She must pay for it with her own!
The people of the state of New York...
...appeal to you for justice.
Your Honor, the state rests.
The court instructs the jury
to arrive at a verdict...
...on the basis of testimony presented.
You might have tried
to appear interested.
Why? You don't think those 12 good men
are gonna give me a break, do you?
Will you hold that pose, please?
Thank you.
- Perhaps you'd like to wait in my office.
- Oh, thank you.
That's it,
now, will you give us a full figure?
She'll be all right, Charlie.
- There's one door, that window won't open.
- Okay.
You might as well
make yourself comfortable.
Would you?
Would you like a cigarette?
Thanks.
I never smoke myself.
Do you have to stick around
till the bad news comes in?
That's what I'm here for.
- Think it'll be long?
- I hope not.
You see, my little granddaughter's
having a birthday party.
She's...
She's 7 years old today...
...and I promised her I'd get home in time
to see the birthday cake.
Oh, I'm sorry, I...
It's all right, forget it.
Say, you've got quite a library here.
Yeah, those are my records.
I've been keeping them for 37 years.
You mean,
you've had the same job all that time?
Yes, 38 years
the fourth day of September.
Heh.
The same office, doing the same work?
Yes, sir.
I've seen them come and go.
Uh...
That's the year I was born.
And there was a swell year,
good old 1919.
Oh! Oh!
Oh, look, Bunny, ain't it beautiful?
It ain't no good. It's busted.
Oh, gee, look, you get a nickel a pound
for this old rubber.
Is one of you kids Mary Martin?
Yeah, it's her.
I've been looking for you all day.
Your mother is...
No, you don't.
Hold up, you.
No, I didn't do nothing.
Let me go. Let me go.
Mary, this is for your own good.
These three years
in the house of correction...
...are not intended as a punishment...
...but as a means
of putting you in an environment...
...which will help to make you a better...
...and more useful citizen.
That'll be all.
Hey, sugar.
Come on, baby.
What are you afraid of?
Oh, what's the diff, Mary?
A girl's gotta live, ain't she?
Not necessarily, Bunny.
The jury's still out on that.
What's that?
Oh, nothing, let it pass.
You babes stay here until we get back.
If a cop should come along,
step outside and stand by the car, okay?
What do you mean, a cop?
Say, what is all this?
I don't know.
Maybe he's gotta see a man about a dog.
Fifty dollars?
- Yeah, that's for being a good girl.
- What?
Sure, you were the lookout, weren't you,
when we were inside working?
No use trying to get into your room.
I'm tired of waiting for my rent.
I seen you getting in that car
with those hoodlums.
You can't make no money that way.
Okay, Mrs. Ward, okay. Can you tell me
where the Salvation Army shelter is?
I'll pay for my room there.
If I knew, I wouldn't tell you.
Get on out of here. You get me my rent.
No more applications for employment
until further notice.
Oh.
Well, I almost made it, didn't I?
Isn't it funny?
Isn't it funny?
Oh!
Oh, my, she's fainted.
Poor thing fainted.
Get some water for her.
She's probably hungry.
Mary. Well, welcome, stranger.
Oh, well, you little son of a...
Oh, how are you?
- Say, where you been all this time, kid?
- I've been in Florida on my yacht.
Meet Mr. Nessel and Mr. Boopsgrapple,
a couple of millionaire playboys.
Pleased to make your acquaintance.
Thanks.
How are you?
Of course, you remember the professor.
Hello.
I'm glad to see you.
You know that, don't you?
- Angelo, bring her hot food and coffee.
You betcha.
Sit down, sugar, and take it easy.
- I hope I didn't bust in on a party.
- It wasn't a party without you, honey.
I've been worried about you.
Why didn't you never call me up
or something?
- Ain't you gonna finish your dinner?
- You better go on home.
Oh, gee.
I said you better go on home, didn't I?
I'll give you a ring sometime. Maybe.
For a smart girl, Mary,
you can be awful dumb.
She's been looking for a job.
Can you imagine that?
Well, Mary wants to be a nice,
good, respectable little girl...
...but the main thing now
is to get something to eat and drink...
...and a place to sleep, huh?
Yeah.
Say, baby,
you've gotten kind of thin lately.
The last couple of days,
I've been on a very strict diet.
Well, we'll take good care of you.
Here you are, try some of this.
- Ain't you gonna have any?
- No, I never use it, you know that.
I gotta know what's going on around here
all the time.
Well, here's to a happy family.
Go on, take off that hat.
You're gonna stay.
Am I? I don't know.
I suppose you'd rather go back tramping
the streets in the cold and the rain.
Getting doors slammed in your face.
Nothing to eat.
Say, you ought to be on the stage.
You think you're kidding?
Oh, I've had more people tell me...
...I'd make a great emotional...
Actress.
Excuse me.
You know, I think
you've stumbled on something there.
- I'd give that a lot of thought if I were you.
- Why not?
Mary, you better begin thinking
about your career too.
You know, in these days,
a girl has gotta specialize.
Well, let me see,
I could be a lady barber...
...or I could be
a mayonnaise-dressing demonstrator.
That ought to be good.
Gee, honey...
...you've had an awful tough time.
Now, don't go get me feeling sorry
for myself, will you?
Think of my morale.
What's that?
I don't know.
But it's something you gotta keep up.
That's enough of that.
Here.
Sit down, boys, we gotta talk business.
Are you interested?
Go on, honey, relax.
You're gonna stay.
Sure, she's gonna stay.
Besides, it's raining outside.
- Oh, what have I got to lose?
- Now you're talking, baby.
You don't see any ribs sticking out here,
do you? And you're not going to.
He's a pretty smart boss, Mary.
Listen, I'm going a long way.
I got it all figured out, see?
And those that stick with me
won't have a thing to worry about.
- Good evening, sir.
- Good evening.
Good evening. Good evening.
Oh, oh.
Queenie, Queenie, be a good girl now.
Queenie, you little... Bad girl. Tsk-tsk.
Bad girl.
You know, this is becoming irksome.
- Hello, Churchill, how's the boy?
- Good evening, Mr. Ricci.
- Anybody home?
- No.
- We've all went to the opera.
- Oh.
Oh, how's Mama's
little bunch of sweetness?
Oh, I feel fine.
Not you, you big ape.
Come on.
- Hey, look what I got for you.
- What?
Orchids.
- How many?
- Six.
Oh, that's vulgar.
I never wear more than four.
Oh, that's all right. Suit yourself, kid.
Hello, Churchie old boy.
I'm always glad to see you.
What a nice boy. Let's fix this bow.
Hey, what do you think of this suit, huh?
I got it from some tailors downtown.
- Some class, eh?
- The coat's too long.
Too long?
Hey, Puggy,
what do you think of this suit?
Good, huh?
Hmm? Oh, it's all right.
The coat's a little bit short.
Short?
Oh, what do you two guys
know about it?
Just a couple of dumb thugs.
Hey, Leo,
what do you think of my new suit?
Fine.
The coat's a little too tight.
Too tight?
That's what I said.
Transgressor in the third, 6 grand, huh?
Say, Mary, how do you like my new suit?
Whose is it?
Oh...
Ain't he cute? He's only 6.
- Say, listen, one more word out of you...
- What word do you want?
- Oh!
Oh, baby, I'm sorry.
- You know I didn't mean it.
- Aw. Now there's nothing left but marriage.
I like your new suit, darling.
I thought you would, honey.
Bunny, time for you to get going.
Gee, I'm kind of nervous.
Are you sure there ain't any chance
of anything going wrong?
I haven't failed yet, have I?
Let me do the worrying.
Oh, everything's gonna go all right.
Just like clockwork.
You'll see.
Blimp, Puggy.
Set your watches by mine, 6:51.
- Got it?
- Okay.
Oh, Churchill.
Churchill, that wall needs something.
What is it?
Possibly a nice etching.
Etching. That's black-and-white, isn't it?
No, I think I'd like something in color.
Suppose you pick it out for me.
I like the prints you got
for the dining room.
I'd be very glad to.
You know, there was a picture I saw once
when I was a kid.
It was just a cheap copy of some painting,
but I've never forgotten it.
There were a lot of trees.
Not ordinary trees.
It was mysterious, kind of.
With a mist over everything.
So it didn't look real,
you know, nothing you could grab onto.
It was like music.
I don't suppose you know
what I'm talking about.
- Well, maybe I don't either.
Oh, I know exactly.
Get me a cigarette.
Why don't you keep some around here?
Yes, sir.
You must feel pretty pleased
with yourself.
It takes a big shot to get tough
with an old guy like that.
- Oh, be nice, Mary.
- I've told you before.
I don't want you giving orders
to people who work for me.
- I'm not gonna dress yet, Anna.
- Yes, ma'am.
What's the matter?
Aren't you coming in to dinner?
I'm having mine in here.
- Why?
- I like to be alone once in a while.
"The Life of Madame Reca... "
Recamier.
Recamier. That's right.
Thanks.
What do you wanna read
a book like this for?
What can you learn from a dame
that lived a hundred years ago?
Figure out things for yourself.
- I've figured out one thing for myself.
- That you're stuck on me, isn't that it?
Don't, Leo.
Sometimes I think if I don't get away
from you, I'll go out of my mind.
That's only sometimes.
You'll never get away.
You belong to me.
I've never belonged to you. Never.
No, no, don't, Leo. Please, Leo.
Leo.
I suppose that didn't mean a thing, huh?
Listen, baby, you can walk out on me
any time you want to.
I'll never go after you.
But you'll always come back.
Twenty-eight.
Thank you.
Listen, you go ahead. I'll wait here.
Sammy, I'm surprised at you.
- Oh, but I wanna go to sleep.
- We could fix up a cot for him.
No, the little man gets peevish
about this time.
You mustn't give in to him.
He went to bed three nights ago.
Upsy-daisy.
- Now, the little reefer and mittens.
Oh...
Ooh.
I'm grieved at you, Samuel, I really am.
You've no appreciation
of the finer things.
You wanna go home to your lonely bed.
An upstairs life is calling to us.
The click of the wheel,
the pop of the cork...
...the seductive laughter of lovely ladies.
- The what?
- The seductive laughter of lovely ladies.
- I wanna go home.
- Upsy-daisy.
- Oh, Tom.
- Could I see you for a moment?
- Certainly.
- I'd like to see the manager.
- I'll show you to his office, madam.
Would you mind asking him
to step up here, please?
Just a minute, please.
- Good evening, Mr. Mannering.
- Hello, Charlie.
- Mr. Travers will have the usual.
- Huh?
You might bring me
a couple of pints of Clicquot.
That's okay.
- Yes, sir.
- Excuse me.
- Sam.
- Mm-mm.
There, without a doubt,
is the most tasty back...
...that these old eyes
have ever gazed upon.
I wouldn't want you
to betray a confidence.
But tell me,
who might that lovely lady be?
I couldn't tell you. She's been here
the last three nights alone.
Alone, huh?
Well, now, that's interesting,
if not important.
- Maybe she's dying.
- Help me lift her over here.
- She's all right.
- All right, she's all right.
Take it easy, boys.
All right, now.
I'm gonna go get the ammonia.
Hurry up.
Hey, got any ammonia? Girl just fainted.
No, not a drop.
I don't believe we've taken
one of your checks before, have we?
What is it you want?
An identification?
Here, I have my bankbook right here.
There you are.
An emergency call.
Have you got a sick woman in there?
You got here quick.
I didn't know they'd sent for a doctor yet.
Come on.
Hey, you're crazy
if you think you can get away.
- A cop passes this house all the time.
- He won't pass for eight minutes.
By that time, we'll be in Jersey City.
Come on, get them up.
She'll be all right.
Yeah.
Stay right where you are.
Keep working on that dame
if you know what's good for you.
Come on.
Get on your feet.
Come on, move.
Open that safe or I'II...
- Charlie, got any ammonia? Quick.
- Well, what's the rush?
Hatcheck girl passed out.
Wanna give her a sniff.
Yeah?
Stay back there and stick them up.
Take it easy.
Hey, you're not leaving.
I'd better see you to your carriage.
Stand still.
I beg your pardon.
I don't think we've met.
I'll go first.
Alley-oop.
This is the nicest way of leaving a party.
You avoid meeting so many dull people.
If we do meet anyone, I'm sunk.
Strange. I told my guide to meet us here.
Come on, gal, we've got
to find our way back to the settlement.
I ought to ask you
where you're taking me.
- Do you care?
- No.
Thank you very much.
You know, I never did like you
in that bathrobe.
I suggest something in crepe de Chine,
with one of those ducky...
...what do you call them?
You know, revers.
- Who lives here?
- I do.
- Oh, yeah?
- Yeah.
I was born in this house. My father too.
Say, aren't you hungry?
- I haven't got time to think about it.
- I'm so hungry I could eat a wolf.
Maybe you've never eaten a wolf.
Properly seasoned, they're delicious.
Will you tell me what we're doing here?
I thought it'd be good to pop in here...
...till the boys in blue
get through blowing their horn.
Thanks.
Have you got a cigarette?
- Maybe you'd like a drink?
- No, thanks.
- Coffee, then?
- Yes, I'd love some.
Is there anything I can get you, sir?
Coffee for Miss...
Well, coffee.
Shall we see if there's anything
to eat in the house?
- Anything in there you'd like?
- What is this, a hotel?
No, we have good appetites.
Uh-huh.
How about a touch of turkey?
Oh, that does look good.
Was that your husband?
I mean, the one that wanted to use me
for target practice.
No, I haven't any husband.
Then how about some cheese?
No, thank you.
- You don't live here alone, do you?
- My father and I.
Two gentlemen of the old school.
I'll bet you're an only child.
No, don't tell me. Let me guess.
Mm-hm. The proverbial waster,
aimlessly drifting...
...killing a brilliant mind with drink.
Are you ever serious about anything?
No, what is there to be serious about?
The income tax?
Tonsils? The decline of the white race?
Of course, there's always sex.
How do you feel about sex, Potter?
Or... do you?
At this hour of the night, sir,
it would be almost impossible to know.
- Would there be anything else, sir?
- Run along to bed, Potter.
- I'm sorry I disturbed you.
- Yes, sir.
So am I, sir.
I mean, I beg your pardon, sir.
- Good night, sir.
- You're pardoned, good night.
Now, what do you suppose
made me think of sex?
I can't imagine. Most men never do.
- And I'm the intellectual type myself.
- Me too.
Sometimes, my baser nature
gets the better of me.
That's the beast in you.
How well you understand me.
Mm-hm.
By the way, have you got any plans
for the rest of the evening?
Well, let me see.
Oh, we could wake up your father
and play 3oo pinochle.
I can think of better games than that.
Can't you?
- Haven't you about finished your supper?
- Why?
Well, we're not gonna waste
the rest of the night sitting here, are we?
- Oh, I forgot to tell you.
- What?
I'm really a kitchen sitter at heart.
- I hope your friends got away.
- I hope so.
I've just discovered
I'm a tottering, dull old man.
Amazing. You don't look a day over 9o.
Nothing ever happens to me.
Life's always passing me by.
And look at you.
You think it's a gorgeous thrill
dodging coppers?
First excitement I've had
since my grandfather fell downstairs...
...and left me 3 million in trust.
Here's to whoever turned out the lights.
You know, if you hadn't started
through that door the same time I did...
...well, I wouldn't be eating turkey.
I guess I'd better be on my way.
- Do you think it's safe to go now?
- Safe as it'll ever be.
- And I wish you wouldn't.
- I've got to.
- My nerves are all jittery.
- All right.
Come on, I'll get you a taxi.
- Who's that?
- My father.
Nice-looking.
- What is he, a judge?
- Used to be.
He's probably met
some of my best friends, socially.
Oh, this is a lovely room.
So peaceful and friendly.
I'm glad you like it.
It won't take me a minute to get a taxi.
Can you imagine? This is my picture.
That's funny. My father thinks it's his.
That isn't the original one, is it?
If it isn't, the old gentleman
is gonna be very much upset.
Well, it's the strangest thing,
finding it here in your house.
I saw a copy of it a long time ago...
...and I thought it was the most
beautiful thing I'd ever seen.
Oh, that's my taxi.
- Won't you need a coat?
- No, thanks.
It must be a help
living in a house like this.
It gives you something,
a feeling of security.
Well, anyway, thanks for everything.
But isn't there anything I can do for you?
Where are you off to?
What's gonna happen to you?
- What's your name?
- Don't spoil everything.
What do you mean?
That's what's been so nice about it.
You didn't ask any questions.
Good night.
You don't mind if I tell you
you're an exceedingly swell fella?
Same to you.
I can't go back, I can't. Did you mean it
when you said you'd help me?
- Of course. What can I do?
- Get me a job.
A decent one.
Are you still set
on being a businesswoman?
Mm-hm.
It seems like an awful waste,
but if you're determined to do it...
...I know you'll make good.
I hope so.
- I owe you such a lot of money already...
- Don't worry about that.
Do you ever see your friends these days?
No. I never saw them again.
- I won't take up any more of your time.
- Don't be in a hurry.
- Tindle, this is Miss Martin.
How do you do?
Put Miss Martin
in the Stenographic Department.
We have no vacancies, Mr. Mannering.
Well, make one.
There ought to be room for a good worker.
Yes, sir.
- Are you sure you wanna do this?
- Certainly.
Why not?
Knowing what you do about me,
it's kind of taking a chance.
I'll take it.
It seems silly just to say thanks.
Oh, excuse me,
I didn't know you was in conference.
Come in, Sam.
- Good luck.
- Thank you.
- When do I start?
- Tomorrow morning.
Heh. Looks like she's already started.
There you go, your low mind.
Don't make mistakes about that lady.
Oh, I won't make any mistakes,
neither will you.
She's magnificent.
And she's gonna make things
cozy around here.
Now, listen to me. She's a nice girl.
She's coming to work as a stenographer.
She doesn't want any nonsense.
And you and I, my lad,
are gonna keep our hands off.
Uh-huh. Do you know any other ones?
Excuse me.
Right away, Mr. Ledyard.
For Mr. Mannering, Jr. And Mr. Gates.
The report on the Robert's
chancery case.
Put it down. On the desk.
Uh... Take these back to the library,
will you?
- That'll be all, Miss Martin.
- Thank you.
Good night, Mr. Tindle.
Coming over tonight, Hazel?
If Harry wants to.
I have to get a finger wave
before they close.
- Stepping out tonight.
- I'm not stepping farther than the kitchen.
Ma makes Wiener schnitzel
every Thursday night.
- You like Wiener schnitzel, Grace?
Do I? Mm-mm-mm.
Taxi, lady?
You better ride.
I tell you, I'm through.
My life's my own, isn't it?
- I don't owe you a thing.
- That the way you feel about it, Mary?
You could do a lot of harm,
dropping a word at the wrong time.
- It's a mouthpiece you're working for.
- Oh, lay off.
Mary's got sense.
Sure, Mary's on the level, she is.
Oh, shut up, the whole lot of you.
Okay, kid, if that's what you want.
You don't owe us a thing.
You can go whenever you want to.
But remember this,
you'll come back crawling.
And maybe I'll let you in.
- I'll take my chances.
- Oh, honey, don't mind him.
- He's daffy about you.
- Mm-hm. So I noticed.
And to the knowledge of the affiant...
Wait till I find the report.
Mary, I can't stand it any longer.
You're driving me crazy.
Mary, Mary, be kind to me.
The place hasn't been the same
since you came.
I want to explain.
I hope you didn't think that...
- Mary.
- Oh, Tom.
Oh, Tom, I've waited so long.
- Darling.
- Mm.
- File this with the county clerk tomorrow.
- Yes, sir.
Oh, I beg your pardon, sir.
What shall I tell the county clerk, sir?
Tell him the fishing's fine.
Oh, Tom.
Yoo-hoo!
Sam.
Oh, he would.
We ran out of Scotch on a party.
I just came in for some more.
- I'll be going, then.
- Now, don't you worry.
You're not gonna get away from me again.
- We've got things to say, you and I.
- Yoo-hoo!
Come down in five minutes.
You think I didn't know
you were there every minute?
You didn't give any sign of it.
There wasn't a morning I didn't wanna
put three dozen gardenias on your desk.
There wasn't a noon
I didn't wanna take you to lunch.
- All right, let it go.
- I'm serious.
I wasted hours just watching for you
to pass my door.
Scheming for just the slightest look
at you.
I even knew when you'd been in a room.
The same perfume you used that night.
- Mary, what are we going to do?
- Do?
About us, about you and me.
These things don't settle themselves.
Oh, I know. I thought about it too.
I love you.
Hello, Fu Manchu.
Are you still putting rats in chop suey?
You been in the hospital
a long time, huh?
Yeah.
Them sawbones done their best.
Thought they had me, but I fooled them.
Hello, I see you're getting
some limousine trade.
Yeah.
Pretty good, eh?
I'll go to my father.
I'll tell him quite simply.
I don't know what he'll say,
but I know this.
He'll be my friend
and your friend too, Mary.
I think it's her, Dan.
I can't be sure. She's dressed different.
Well, hustle right over. I'll hold her here.
Bye.
After all, whose business is it but ours?
It's your life and mine.
We've got to think of each other,
do what's best for both of us.
Think of each other.
What's best for both of us.
You're right, Tom. Quite right.
I'll go to Father tomorrow.
All right, let's drop it.
We're getting too serious.
- You got a nickel? Let's have some music.
- All right.
Here you are, and it'd better be good.
I'm gonna go outside.
- You win, copper.
- You're telling me.
- Who's your buddy?
- That's what I wanted to say.
Listen, I'm Mary Martin.
I'm anything you say.
I'll go anywhere, tell you anything,
but let him alone.
You make me kind of curious,
sweetheart.
Say, listen, does he look
like he's one of Leo Darcy's mob?
He's square. He's on the level.
So square he'd ruin his life
by sticking with me.
- Well?
- Give me time, will you?
Just a little.
You know, so I can get rid of him.
You can stay right here. I can't get away.
Okay, I'll try it, but you watch your step.
Thanks.
Darling.
- What's the matter?
- Tom.
I, uh... I can't go through with it.
- What?
- This farce.
You know, some things are too easy.
Some fools are too flat-headed
even to be trimmed.
Mary...
You're not sap enough
to think this was on the level, are you?
Can't you see I played you for a sucker
from the minute I saw you?
- Well?
- Easy money, you boob.
Sure, I saw it written
all over that grinning mug of yours.
I thought I could trim you
and get away with it.
But now the idiot wants to marry me.
Is that a laugh?
I can't even tell you
you don't have to marry me...
...or you'd lose your high ideal of me.
Listen, sweetheart,
marriage is too high a price to pay...
...even for a bankroll like yours.
I'd last just about a week, and then
I'd brain you and run back to a real man.
Good night,
and pleasant fairy tales, little Rollo.
Where's Leo Darcy?
I don't know.
- Don't lie. You said you'd tell.
- I don't know.
If you tell us, we can get you off.
- Lf you don't, you know what it means.
- Where is he, Mary?
- I told you, I don't know where he is.
That ain't exactly necessary, kid.
Neither is this, but it helps.
Beat it, lug.
Listen, ain't it about time
you quit knocking around...
...and came back to the only guy
that did you good?
- Meaning?
- Me.
Meaning me.
Mary, you were swell.
The time of the pinch, I mean.
You never cracked once,
and I won't forget it.
I wanna make it up to you now.
- Have I asked for anything?
- You don't have to.
I've been watching you
from the day you got out.
- I know what a tough time you've had.
- Spying on me, eh?
Oh, no. It ain't that, Mary.
I've had time to do some thinking too,
and I came to this conclusion.
You're entitled to everything
I can give you.
- You earned it, you sure did.
- Thanks.
So I decided to let you find
a place of your own.
If you could make a go of it,
I wasn't gonna bother you again.
But it didn't work out.
Oh, Mary, you need me and I need you.
- Maybe you're right.
- Sure I'm right.
Listen, I can do things for you now.
Everything seems to be breaking my way.
I'm in with Waxey Schaefer. You heard
of Waxey Schaefer even where you were.
Listen, no more ducking cops,
no more Bronx hideouts.
It's gonna be happy days
in Dixie for all of us.
What do you say, honey, huh?
Oh, come on, will you?
No, no, Mary, take it off.
It looks too common.
Every gill in town owns one.
Very well, we strive to please.
- Try on the chinchilla.
Oh. Ha-ha.
The best money can buy,
and it ain't good enough for you.
Oh, I beg your pardon...
...but which way is the horse show?
No kidding, Bun, how do you like it?
I'm down for the count. It's gorgeous.
Come in.
Mary, having you back
is like Thanksgiving on the old farm.
Now the boss is a human being again.
This is the first time
that you've been right in three years.
Hey, this is for Mary.
She always likes the real beautiful thing.
Oh, gee, Angelo, you're sweet.
- Put them over there, will you?
- You betcha.
Come on, Blimp. Fill them up.
What's the matter, Bun?
Don't tell me you're getting refined.
I got some news for you.
No.
What am I gonna do?
You better get married.
What? To that gorilla.
This place is getting dull. Shall we go?
That's fine.
I've been wanting to go home for an hour.
Home? Who said anything about that?
I promised the Hamiltons
we'd meet them at Lido.
I've got to be in court
at 9 in the morning.
There you are, Sam.
Do you remember
that gay young fellow I married?
Oh, yeah, old Judge Mannering's son,
wasn't it?
The lad that didn't go to bed
till two days later?
Mm.
I wonder what became of him.
Oh, haven't you heard?
Why, he fell in a law book a while ago
and hasn't been seen since.
I'm serious, Barbara,
I've got to get some sleep.
Oh, you're impossible.
That's always what becomes
of a reformed drunkard.
Excuse me, there's a girl over here
I should have married.
Did it ever occur to you that I might like
to have a good time once in a while?
Once in a while, but this is every night.
I simply can't do it and...
I know. It's the most important case
of your career.
Your father isn't well enough to be in court
and the whole thing's on your shoulders.
- And so forth and so on.
- You're being childish.
It's my responsibility.
Responsibility?
If I hear that word again I'll scream.
You don't have to come home with me.
Sam will take you on to the Lido.
Hmm. Perfect.
Come on, Sam,
you and I are going places and have fun.
Oh, swell. I always was putty
in the hands of a beautiful woman.
- Good night and sweet dreams.
- Good night.
Let me have the check.
Be with you in a minute.
- Want some change?
- No, I have enough.
Mary.
Oh. The sucker himself.
Yes, I was a sucker
to let you get away from me...
...but not this time.
Glutton for punishment, eh?
You fooled me once, never again.
Who is that guy? I've seen him before.
I know, sure. I know.
Well, who is it? Spit it out.
That night at the Club Imperial.
That guy, you remember?
You mean, that...?
You consoled yourself. You married.
Barbara and I had been engaged
since we were children.
We drifted into marriage.
- We're waiting for you.
- I'll be along in a minute.
Don't give me that.
- Beat it, you.
- I said I'd be along in a minute.
Yeah? Well, you're coming now.
- What do you...?
- You heard what the lady said.
- Get out of here before I...
- Yeah, and you're coming with me.
What do you mean,
I'm coming with you?
Ooh!
Come on, boys. Come on, let's go.
Get them, bud. Come on, boys.
Come along.
Oh, boy, better?
Right this way, Mr. Mannering.
- Let go of me!
- Get back.
- Please, Mr. Mannering.
- Hold him still.
- Get back, get back.
- Stay on this door.
- Okay.
- Come on.
- Come on.
Anything I can do for you?
Willard, come on. Come here.
- Rolls, 3S4-146.
- Okay.
I remember the lug's name,
it's Mannering.
- Tom Mannering?
- Yeah.
Get me a taxi, quickly.
Follow that car.
I'm sorry, lady, we've lost them.
Well, wait right here, will you?
- Tom, you're safe.
- Mary.
I tried to follow your car.
I didn't leave in my car.
- What's the matter?
- You've got to do something.
He's following you. He'll kill you.
- That's nonsense.
- No, it isn't nonsense.
Wait a minute. There's the phone.
Come on in.
Pardon me.
Hello.
Hello?
They're gone.
It's been ringing for quite a while.
Oh, Tom, I'm afraid.
Pardon me, sir, the telephone.
No one on the wire now, Potter,
you can go to bed.
With pleasure, sir. I mean, yes, sir.
I know I shouldn't have come here,
but there was no other way.
You can't take any chances.
You must leave town.
I know. That's not important.
This is the important thing.
- Hello.
- Something terrible has happened.
Sam, he's been shot, in the car with me.
Good heavens.
Yes, right away.
They...
They got Sam.
He's dead.
Oh.
He was bringing my wife home in my car.
And they thought it was you.
Oh, don't you see, Tom,
if he finds out it wasn't you, he'II...
You must go to your wife, Tom.
She needs you.
But please, you will be careful.
Lucky we met you gills.
We been working late, see...
...and need a little relaxation.
Hello.
Where's Leo?
Leo's got a little business to attend to.
- Say when he'd be back?
Didn't say.
- Let's dance.
- Let's.
What is this, a Halloween party?
Yeah, a couple of debutantes
we met with. I know you'd like them.
- They come from a lovely family.
Yeah?
Hello.
Hello.
Where you been the last couple of hours?
Over at Bunny's apartment
on Haslett Street.
It's near her time, you know.
Yeah?
You ran out on me, didn't you?
Well, what do you mean?
You ditched me, didn't you?
You took your car and left me flat.
That sap mean anything to you?
Not a thing.
I'm glad of that.
I wouldn't want you to feel bad.
He met with an accident.
That's too bad.
He was bumped off.
- Where'd it happen?
- What do you care?
You said you weren't interested in him.
No.
What's the matter, baby?
Your hand's shaking.
Nothing.
I guess I need a drink.
Oh.
Mm-hm.
I'll get you one.
Holy smoke!
Take a flash at that, the wrong guy.
- Get rid of the gills.
- Okay.
Where's my drink?
The next time,
it won't be the wrong guy.
- Puggy.
What?
Get the address of Tom Mannering.
I don't feel a bit sleepy.
Okay, boss.
I think I'll pay a call
on your little boyfriend.
- What are you doing?
- I'm gonna change my clothes, honey.
It's nearly morning.
You wouldn't expect me to call
on swell people without a morning coat.
Oh, listen, Leo, come here.
- You're not using your head.
- Oh, no?
What's this all about, anyway?
The man doesn't mean a thing to me.
- I told you that, and I mean it.
- Mm-hm.
You'll only get yourself in a jam,
and now when you're sitting so pretty.
- He's an important guy, you know.
- Oh.
And besides, what's the use?
Oh, honey, let's not be this way.
You've got me all upset.
Have I?
You know how I feel about you,
don't you?
Mm-hm.
Wait a minute, baby.
Stick around. I'll be back in a while.
Leo, listen. Leo.
Leo, listen.
Oh, Leo.
No, now, wait a minute.
What are you doing?
Honey...
Oh.
Comrades!
Congratulate me.
- I'm a papa.
- No.
- Congratulations.
Wonderful.
What do you think of that?
- Sure, a six-pound boy.
- Six pounds?
I just come from the hospital.
No kidding.
I took her to the hospital last night.
That's the only place.
Hospital, huh?
I thought you told me
you were with Bunny.
- I was, honest...
- You're lying to me.
Leo! Oh!
- Leo, no.
- Listen to me.
- Listen.
Leo!
Leo! Oh!
Leo. Leo, leave me alone.
- You're lying, aren't you?
- Leo!
Lie to me, will you?
Trying to double-cross me
for that little rat, huh?
Well, it didn't work. I'll take care of him.
Leo, wait.
Wait? For what?
Let me in there!
Open the door.
Leo, what's happening?
Open the door.
Come in.
The jury's in.
I'll be in time for the birthday party,
after all.
But first, you've got to come
to my little party.
And we find the defendant guilty.
One moment.
- May it please the court.
Mr. Mannering.
With the consent of this defendant, I wish
to enter my appearance as her counsel.
No, no, I don't want it.
- To what purpose, Mr. Mannering?
- To file a motion for a new trial...
...on the grounds
of newly discovered evidence.
- Whose evidence?
My own.
I wish to take my place
beside the defendant...
...and confess my share in the crime,
if there was a crime.
Your Honor, I object.
Objection overruled.
This is a motion for a new trial
before sentence and entirely proper.
Proceed, Mr. Mannering.
Just what do you mean
when you say your share?
Mary Martin has refused to tell
why she killed Darcy.
I can.
Why have you kept silent until now?
Because of pride in my name and
consideration for my father and my wife.
Your Honor, he kept silent
because I begged him to.
He came to jail to see me...
...and I sent out word
I never wanted to see him again.
I told him I'd never be convicted.
- And you believed that?
- It was convenient to believe it.
Your Honor, you know my father.
You've sat with him on the bench.
You know there's no man
in this city more honored.
No name more respected
than the one he handed down to me.
You know my wife.
That I now publicly take my place
beside this prisoner...
...must cut them to the heart.
But I can do nothing else.
Mary Martin killed Darcy to save my life.
She did it...
...because she loved me.
And because she knew that I loved her.
We're going to win, darling.
The worst is over now.
Poor Tom.
How I've wrecked your life.
Mm-mm.
Life is just beginning for us both, dear.
