[00:03:12]>> Can't you shave without cutting your face all the time?

[00:03:15]>> Look, mister. This is the first time I've cut my face in a month.

[00:03:18]>> Huh?

[00:03:19]>> That's what you said last week.

[00:03:22]>> Oh, Phillies won yesterday. Pop.

[00:03:24]>> Who pitched?

[00:03:26]>> Good pitcher.

[00:03:31]>> Good morning, Pop.

[00:03:32]>> Good morning, Matt.

[00:03:34]Yes, I cut myself again. Have you been in here yet?

[00:03:39]>> No.

[00:03:53]>> Oh, good morning, Pop.

[00:03:54]>> Good morning, Al.

[00:03:57]>> Let me see your new cut.

[00:04:00]>> All right.

[00:04:02]There.

[00:04:04]Oh, it'll go away in a couple of days.

[00:04:08]>> Thank you, doctor. What are the charges?

[00:04:10]>> Uh, a nickel.

[00:04:15]>> That's on account.

[00:04:16]>> A penny. Don't forget, I've got four pennies coming.

[00:04:19]>> All right, I won't.

[00:04:20]>> Ow. Pop. Come to breakfast.

[00:04:24]And now, don't slide down the banister.

[00:04:29]Oh, ABOARD.

[00:04:32]WOO! WOO!

[00:04:38]OH, it's Al. HE SLID DOWN THE BANISTER AGAIN. OH, IF you rush to them every time, even when there's no screaming, you'll wear yourself out, child.

[00:04:50]Now, you see what you get for being smart? Hope that'll learn you. Hurt yourself?

[00:04:54]>> I didn't hurt myself. I did it like that on purpose. Do you need the yarn? Where?

[00:04:59]I don't need none. I'm okay. How many times has mother told you not to slide down the banisters?

[00:05:06]Now go on. Get in the breakfast. All of you. Go on.

[00:05:18]Get your nose out of that. And what do I have to do to keep you off that banister?

[00:05:22]>> Give me a nickel.

[00:05:23]>> Yes, I'll nickel you if you do it again or you sit on down there. Put that napkin under your chin. I'm going to break my back washing out shirts for you to dribble on him.

[00:05:31]>> Does it say anything in the paper about who's pitching for the Phillies today?

[00:05:35]>> Nope. Frank, don't must that paper before your father sees it.

[00:05:38]>> DON'T HIDE AT ALL. GIVE ME YOUR CHANCE, will you?

[00:05:41]>> Why didn't eat your breakfast?

[00:05:42]>> IF I EVER PLAY WITH YOU AGAIN, I HOPE SOMEBODY HITS ME IN THE EYE.

[00:05:45]>> WELL, I CAN DO THAT FOR YOU ANYWAY. ALL RIGHT, NOW STOP THAT. STOP IT. YOU HEAR ME? HE TRADED ME RIGHT FOR A LEADER AND FOUR HOOKS, AND HE ONLY GAVE ME TWO.

[00:05:54]WHEN HE GETS ME THE OTHER TWO, I'LL GIVE HIM A REEL. THAT'S ALL I SAID I GIVE him was two. HE'S ALWAYS BACKING OUT OF SOMETHING. HE'S ALWAYS MAKING A TRADE.

[00:06:01]>> Just a minute. Quiet, please. Now, let's get this straight. What did you say you traded?

[00:06:06]>> I SAID FOUR HOOKS IN A LEADER.

[00:06:07]>> ONE at a time, please. What did you say you trade?

[00:06:10]>> Two hooks and a leader.

[00:06:11]>> He said four hooks, more.

[00:06:12]>> Was it two hooks or four hooks? Now, let's have the truth. Did you say two hooks or four hooks?

[00:06:18]>> Well, I said >> four.

[00:06:22]>> Yes, ma. Now, thanks, son, for telling me the truth.

[00:06:28]Now, give him the other two hooks.

[00:06:33]>> Uh, stand by and pay the water bill, will you?

[00:06:35]>> What? Again?

[00:06:37]>> Yeah, again.

[00:06:49]>> Did you forget something, P?

[00:06:52]No, I did not.

[00:06:54]>> Then I'll throw this away.

[00:07:01]>> You're a good little girl.

[00:07:18]Look, look. I found one BIGGER THAN THE SNAKE.

[00:07:23]WHERE? WHERE?

[00:07:27]It's only a spring.

[00:07:31]>> There's 42. She's on time. Yeah, PROBABLY PULL IT OUT. ROCK AROUND the back.

[00:07:40]Bring another shovel when I get back.

[00:07:42]That's what you want.

[00:07:52]Hey, let's wait for me.

[00:08:10]Hurry up now.

[00:08:30]Oh la.

[00:08:53]for you.

[00:08:54]>> I love you.

[00:08:55]>> Oh, yeah.

[00:08:58]>> I love you.

[00:09:01]>> You're small.

[00:09:09]You take your time.

[00:09:37]I love you.

[00:09:52]>> Oh, Mrs. Griffin, you better get Ch Foxy in. Here come the Sullivans.

[00:09:59]>> Oh, it's all right, Chanty. Darling, that's not their fighting war.

[00:10:02]>> I'm not taking any chances.

[00:10:15]They've got a dog, Ma.

[00:10:20]>> Where'd you get that dog?

[00:10:22]>> He followed us home >> all the way.

[00:10:24]>> He followed you home.

[00:10:25]>> Yep. Yeah, that's right.

[00:10:26]>> You got the rope on him for >> so the dog catcher wouldn't catch him.

[00:10:29]Can we keep him? Uh, >> George, where'd you get this dog? A man had some other dogs and he gave them to us.

[00:10:34]>> His name's Chiefy.

[00:10:36]>> Please let us keep him quiet.

[00:10:39]>> Quiet. Uh, what kind of a dog is it?

[00:10:42]>> He's a full-blooded mongrel hound.

[00:10:44]>> Yes, sir. A full-blooded Mongoy hound.

[00:10:47]>> Mongrel? Well, mongrel or no mongrel? I don't know what your father say.

[00:10:51]>> Oh, please let us keep the dog. Ma.

[00:10:53]>> Oh, there's the 3:00 southbound. Well, take him inside and see if you can find him something to eat.

[00:10:59]>> Oh, thank you. Get out of my clothes.

[00:11:02]OH, AL, WAIT A MINUTE. COME ON.

[00:11:05]>> AL, wait a minute.

[00:11:08]>> Now, you know you're making your first communion tomorrow and you've got to be at confession in an hour. So, you run on upstairs and get yourself washed and I'll be up in a little while and change your clothes. Huh?

[00:11:16]>> Can I harm my own suit?

[00:11:18]>> Yes. But you get so much as a speck of dust on it and you'll hear from me.

[00:11:32]Albert, you go now.

[00:12:05]Al's about going into confession now.

[00:12:07]Poor Small Tage. I bet she's plenty scared.

[00:12:10]>> I sure was.

[00:12:11]>> What's a little squirt like him got to confess? He ain't done nothing.

[00:12:14]>> Not like you, huh? Matty boy. 99 years old and full of sins.

[00:12:20]Okay, give me a miss. It hit a rock. I GET THAT OVER.

[00:12:25]>> HI, FELLAS.

[00:12:27]>> WHAT KIND OF a dog's that hound?

[00:12:30]>> I mango how?

[00:12:31]>> There's no such a dog.

[00:12:33]>> That's what you think. HE'S A FULL-BLOWN HOUND.

[00:12:36]>> I'll bet you he's not. I bet you there's no such a dog. Smart guy. Just go down and ask the gentleman who lives in the shack on the edge of the dump. He ought to know. He'd give him to us. An old flea bitten rut. Haha. And they got him FROM THE DOCK.

[00:12:49]>> HEY ERNIE, come here. Look at the old net the Solomon's got from the down.

[00:12:55]>> You, what a flea bag.

[00:12:57]>> You don't like our dog hus.

[00:12:58]>> What a hound. You said it. Why don't your mother cut them up for steal?

[00:13:02]>> Bet you that's all I eat over dog meat.

[00:13:05]>> Well, boys, here we go.

[00:13:35]Hey, wait.

[00:13:47]Oh, NOW IT'S GONE.

[00:14:19]DOES IT HURT? Does it hurt?

[00:14:21]>> No.

[00:14:22]>> Fighting. And on the very eve of your first communion. And look at your new suit. Ruined. Now what am I going to do with you?

[00:14:30]Let me see that eye.

[00:14:31]>> Ooh.

[00:14:32]>> Oh, my poor baby. They hung one on you for fair.

[00:14:35]>> But we won.

[00:14:36]>> Ouch. Look at WHAT YOU'RE DOING. WHY ARE YOU MAD AT US, MA? We won.

[00:14:41]>> That's not the point. You've got no right to be fighting and brawling in the very shadow of the church.

[00:14:47]That settles it. No first communion for you, Al.

[00:14:50]>> Oh, Mom. But I stayed good. Sister said I was the best cry.

[00:14:56]>> Well, all right. All of you go on down to the priest's house and make a clean breast of the whole affair to Father Francis. Let him decide it's beyond me and that's a fact.

[00:15:05]>> You too. Oh, wait a minute. Go down the alley so no one will see you. I don't want people to think I've raised a lot of hoodlams and stop at the butcher shop AND BUY A SMALL ROUND STEAK TO PUT ON AL'S EYE. DID YOU HEAR ME?

[00:15:18]>> YEAH.

[00:15:22]>> SO, George got beaned with a Dornic, huh?

[00:15:25]>> Yes, father.

[00:15:26]>> Well, how do you feel about him, George?

[00:15:28]The boy who threw the stone.

[00:15:29]>> Well, I feel >> Do you hate him?

[00:15:32]>> No, father. It was Ernie Smith who threw it. He's an all right guy. It was in the fight. I saw it coming. I forgot to duck.

[00:15:41]>> And you, Albert, how do you feel about the boy that presented you with that Italian sunset of an eye? That shiner, as you call it.

[00:15:48]>> You can call it shady, too. Shiner or shy.

[00:15:51]>> Thank you, Joe. Well, Albert, next time you see this boy, you going to start fighting again?

[00:15:56]>> Oh, no, father. The fight's all over. We won.

[00:16:00]>> Well, all right then. It's over and done with. It's settled for good and for all.

[00:16:03]>> Oh, sure. We win. It's all over >> now. You bear no grudges.

[00:16:07]>> Oh no, father.

[00:16:08]>> Well, all right, boys. You go home and tell your mother you can all go to communion tomorrow right along with the BEST OF THEM.

[00:16:13]>> SHUT UP. THANKS, FATHER. JESUS.

[00:16:16]>> UH, just a moment, boys.

[00:16:23]There you are.

[00:16:25]Any of you boys like fishing?

[00:16:28]>> Well, there's a worm in this one.

[00:16:59]WE have a lot to be thankful for.

[00:17:04]>> Yes.

[00:17:06]For having such a fine family.

[00:17:14]>> Then I GET IT BEFORE YOU DO.

[00:17:17]>> LAST ONE IS A BLACK ONE.

[00:17:18]>> HEY FUZZ, LOOK WHAT I FOUND. A BOW. HEY, WAIT FOR ME.

[00:17:24]>> JEEZ, we need a boo.

[00:17:27]>> Hey, let's fix it up and sail it. She's full of holes. We can fix that easy.

[00:17:33]>> How come I'm good with mud?

[00:17:35]>> Mud's no good to keep our water.

[00:17:37]>> It is if you let it get hard, YOU DULL.

[00:17:40]>> OH.

[00:17:41]>> OH BOY.

[00:17:42]>> Come on. Let's pull her over the river.

[00:17:43]>> Yeah. We'll put a mask on it.

[00:17:49]>> Come on. E.

[00:18:07]Well, she's all ready. Let's push her in. Yeah, let's push her in. HERE WE GO.

[00:18:47]>> STAND BACK EVERYBODY. I'M GOING TO CRUSH. GIVE IT TO ME. PUNCH IN THE NOSE.

[00:18:53]>> CUT IT. THAT SMALL CHANGE do it. Now, if you don't hit hard enough, the bottle won't break. If the bottle don't break, she'll sink before she's launched. EVEN >> I'LL BREAK HER.

[00:19:02]>> GO AHEAD.

[00:19:02]>> I CAN use it.

[00:19:08]Come on. Come on.

[00:19:12]>> HEY, COME ON. STRAIGHTEN HER OUT. YOU GUYS PADDLE. OKAY, THAT'S IT. COME ON.

[00:19:25]>> You don't button up the hatches. You button them down. You crazy. How can you BUTTON ANYTHING DOWN?

[00:19:31]>> WHAT UP THERE?

[00:21:32]BOYS, BOYS, I want you to promise me something. Now, raise your right hand.

[00:21:37]Go on, put them up. On your sacred word of honor, I want you to promise me that you'll never set foot in a boat again.

[00:21:45]>> Not until you're grown up. We >> And I'm the one who's to say when you're grown up.

[00:21:50]>> Okay, Mom.

[00:22:16]Tet of water and get that garden hose connected. What's the matter? THE >> SHED'S ON FIRE.

[00:22:24]MAKE IT COME OUT YOUR NOSE. TAKE A long puff.

[00:22:27]>> You don't hold it right.

[00:22:29]>> See, I can do it.

[00:22:32]>> Come on. Come on. Over there. Get out of here. Come on. Hurry up. Come on.

[00:22:39]Don't turn it on.

[00:22:42]Come on. Albert, you smoking?

[00:22:45]>> Yes. Corn silk.

[00:22:46]>> Mhm. Were you smoking?

[00:22:48]>> Yes, sir.

[00:22:50]>> You smoking? Yes, sir.

[00:22:52]>> You smoking?

[00:22:53]>> Yes, sir.

[00:22:55]>> Were you smoking?

[00:22:58]>> Answer me. Cat cut your tongue.

[00:23:01]>> Yes, sir.

[00:23:02]>> We was only playing Indians paw smoking a pipe of peas.

[00:23:05]>> All right, come on. Get in the house, all of you.

[00:23:07]>> They're smoking. Hurry up, >> Tom. Tom, you're not going to give them a licking so late in the afternoon.

[00:23:14]After all, if they were smoking, it's no wonder with their own father going around all day long chewing and smoking, it's only natural all boys have a triad.

[00:23:21]>> I'm going to do this my own way.

[00:23:26]>> You know this was your idea >> in the power. Go on, hurry up.

[00:23:44]Tom, what are you going to do?

[00:23:46]>> Go on about your work. I'll take care of this.

[00:23:54]Sit down. Sit down.

[00:23:59]Now, I want to tell you something about smoking. It's not the best thing for boys to smoke. For the good of your health, I'd hope you put it off to your grownup. But I guess you figure you're men already. And maybe you're right. But if you're men enough to smoke, fine.

[00:24:17]Then smoke like men, not like kids.

[00:24:23]Not sneaking a few puffs of corn silk out in a shed.

[00:24:27]>> Oh no.

[00:24:29]Men smoke tobacco open above board.

[00:24:38]Now then, that's for you. That's for you. That's for you. That's for you. And that's for you.

[00:24:49]>> Me?

[00:24:50]>> You.

[00:24:55]Now light up, George.

[00:24:59]That's it. Now Frank, puff just as you did with the corn silk. Only this is tobacco. This is better than corn silk. That's the boy. Now Matt, puff up. Puff up more there. That's the land. There we are. Now pull in first, then puff out.

[00:25:25]That's the way.

[00:25:27]Now I'll join you.

[00:25:33]Gee, Paul, you mean we can smoke whenever we please?

[00:25:36]>> Sure.

[00:25:36]>> Oh boy. I bet we're the only fools our age in this town can smoke.

[00:25:40]>> I'll bet you are.

[00:25:42]Hey, Frank, you're smoking like a girl.

[00:25:46]Take a deep drag way down your lungs.

[00:25:49]>> Look, popping woman like you.

[00:25:52]>> Well, you certainly are.

[00:25:55]Remember, you're men now.

[00:26:09]Oh, say fellas. I forgot we need ashtrays.

[00:26:16]>> I got to throw up.

[00:26:34]Now, Mrs. Sullivan, your boys are men.

[00:26:38]You better go in before they get too sick.

[00:26:51]>> Darn old stone. You can't do nothing or go to packing a lot of wood. I'll have enough real.

[00:26:58]>> Okay.

[00:27:04]>> Eat your breakfast, D.

[00:27:06]>> I'M NOT HUNGRY. CAN I HAVE SOME MORE PANCAKES?

[00:27:08]>> Eat the pancakes you have on your plate.

[00:27:10]>> STOP THE SNOW off your feet.

[00:27:15]>> Save some cakes for me.

[00:27:22]>> Hang your clothes up. George, Joe, Al.

[00:27:24]>> I'm Frank, Paul.

[00:27:25]>> That's what I said, Frank. Hang your clothes up.

[00:27:27]>> Jen, you've got the best to do before school.

[00:27:30]>> Yes, Mar.

[00:27:32]>> Why can't people sleep all winter like bears? So, there's only the one bed to make.

[00:27:38]>> Hell, Rhode Island Red better make up a mind. It's more eggs or the stew pot.

[00:27:42]Oh, I'll be baking tomorrow, so see that you kids bring in plenty of wood.

[00:27:45]>> IT'S MATT AND EL'S TURN TOMORROW.

[00:27:47]>> Whoseever turn it is, don't go skdding out of this house in the morning without bringing in a big pile of wood. Okay, >> Al, eat your breakfast.

[00:27:55]>> I got a loose tooth.

[00:27:57]>> Loose tooth. George, get me a piece of string.

[00:28:00]>> Okay. When are you going to get a new stove, Paul?

[00:28:03]>> When money grows on elm trees.

[00:28:05]>> But this your old thing's awful hard of m >> only thinking of your m Leopard. He's an engineer on the local.

[00:28:13]He built a wood box smack against the kitchen. Then he cut a door on the inside. And when the wood box was filled, he never had to leave the kitchen. Why don't you build one, Paul?

[00:28:21]>> Oh, that's a job for compliment.

[00:28:25]>> Come on out.

[00:28:26]>> What you going to do?

[00:28:27]>> You'll see.

[00:28:30]Sit out. I'm going to pull your tooth in the simplest and oldest way known to man.

[00:28:37]>> No, it'll hurt.

[00:28:38]>> Oh, now don't begin to holler before it hurts, and it won't even hurt. Here.

[00:28:44]Now, open your mouth.

[00:28:45]>> No.

[00:28:45]>> Oh, don't be a baby, Al. It's very simple. You take the thing like that.

[00:28:50]You just take the loop and put it around your tooth.

[00:28:55]>> My gold tooth.

[00:28:57]>> Your gold tooth?

[00:28:58]>> Well, if you wanted it out, too bad you wouldn't go to a dentist.

[00:29:03]>> First, you want to use that lap is going to get his tail warm.

[00:29:17]Come on, you guys. Hurry up.

[00:29:30]>> I'll get THE TOOLS. HUH?

[00:29:32]>> YEAH. Brace getting crosscut and then you claw AND A BIG RULER.

[00:29:38]>> OKAY.

[00:29:45]>> I still say P's going to be sore. us getting his stuff on credit. He's awful for short right now. There's more coal to buy. Listen, you'll thank us.

[00:29:54]Besides, what's two bucks? 280. But what's 280 compared to a new wood box?

[00:30:00]280 will always be a lot around here.

[00:30:02]Think we didn't know how to do it.

[00:30:03]George, you done nothing but crab all day. He ain't fooling. Well, make up your mind. Are you in this or out? I'm in. If I let the four of you alone, you'd wreck the place. Oh, we would, huh? Well, let me tell you something.

[00:30:15]And just because you're the oldest don't make you the president of the United States. If this here wood block is >> wood box is okay. It's who's building it that worries me. Oh, it is. Is it? Well, you can quit worrying me cuz I'm a boss in this here job. Okay, boss. Suit yourself, boss. Go right ahead, boss.

[00:30:31]But don't say I didn't warn you, boss.

[00:30:33]Get out of here. I'm getting boss. When you get in the jam, boss, be sure and don't call on me, boss. You know it all.

[00:30:43]Hurry up on them tools.

[00:30:46]>> Yeah. Did you bring the ruler?

[00:30:47]>> No. Get the ruler. How can a man saw straight without a ruler?

[00:30:52]>> You going to tell us how to make it, Frank?

[00:30:54]>> You're darn right I am. First of all, we started marking off where the hole should be cut.

[00:31:03]>> Here's the ruler. Hold this.

[00:31:09]>> Should I be three for six anyhow? Gee, that's a big hole.

[00:31:13]>> Yeah, >> sure. It'll hold up plenty of wood. Now, give me that there a brace and bit.

[00:31:19]>> Joel, you go inside and see where she comes out.

[00:31:24]>> Frank, you're not okay.

[00:31:26]>> Am I going to have trouble with you two?

[00:31:28]>> No, I don't think so. Okay, then.

[00:31:40]>> When do you want me to start ripping?

[00:31:42]>> Start tearing the boards off where the big comes through.

[00:31:44]>> HAND ME AN AXE. HERE, take this.

[00:32:01]Tastes like a piece of cheese. Nothing to it.

[00:32:16]What happened? Hit a nail. How you doing, boss?

[00:32:21]ALL MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS. We'll get her shortened up again after A PARTICULAR B.

[00:32:27]LISTEN, when he sees what we done for him all on her own and George is out of it, will he be sorry boy? You're doing fine.

[00:32:46]>> You hit something awful, awful hard. Is this thing sharp? It's a little dull, but I'll sharpen it up when we're finished. I'll take over now, kid. You ain't got the strength.

[00:33:08]Gosh, it's tough as the bees.

[00:33:12]We'll knock out some of this and see what we got.

[00:33:26]Hey, what happened? Stop coming in here.

[00:33:29]I think something happened.

[00:33:36]We got TO CUT THAT OUT. GIVE ME THAT CHAIR.

[00:33:43]HERE. Put this over.

[00:33:54]TAKE THAT GET OUT RIGHT NOW. TURN IT OFF.

[00:34:13]>> How you doing, boss? I dry out. It's you who better dry out. Who are you?

[00:34:27]>> Holy smokes.

[00:34:29]>> Stop that.

[00:34:37]>> Stop that.

[00:34:40]>> You see WHAT HE WAS DOING?

[00:34:41]>> SHUT up >> now. Take it easy, Paul.

[00:34:44]>> Take it easy. Take it easy. Look what you've DONE HERE. YOU >> THE >> SHUT UP. You're the oldest, the biggest idiot of the lot. I work and slave to buy the witch's call and look what happens. Five donkeys tear the place up.

[00:34:56]Okay, George Sullivan.

[00:34:57]>> But listen, >> WILL YOU SHUT UP?

[00:34:59]>> YOU CAN LISTEN TO WHAT Frank >> Oh, you're going to tell me what to do, eh?

[00:35:07]All right, you tell me what happened.

[00:35:10]Oh, come on. Come on. What's the matter if the cat cut your tongue?

[00:35:18]Oh, I see.

[00:35:20]Well, I guess there comes a time in every boy's life when he thinks he can lick his father.

[00:35:28]All right, put him up.

[00:35:29]>> You stay out of this. Put him up.

[00:35:34]Go ahead. I'll give you first bite.

[00:35:52]Tom, >> are you here? What happened?

[00:35:59]>> Tom Sullivan, you stop right now.

[00:36:00]>> Keep out of this.

[00:36:01]>> I will not keep out of this. You can't fight your own sons. Punishing them is one thing, but brawling with them is another.

[00:36:06]>> After what they've done, a licking is too good for them. Who's going to pay FOR THIS? WELL, AS far as the money goes, there's $20 nearly from the eggs.

[00:36:12]>> But mama, you've been saving that for a dining room scent.

[00:36:15]>> Never mind that. Tom, you won't mend the wall by beating them.

[00:36:18]>> Oh, it isn't enough that I come home and find the whole house destroyed, but now you're going to tell me how to raise the kids.

[00:36:22]>> Tom, honey, you can't hit them when you're mad.

[00:36:25]>> Oh, all right. All right. All right, Mrs. Sullivan, you know much about handling them. Go ahead and do it. Kiss them, BAKE THEM A CAKE, PUT THEM TO BED, BUT DON'T ASK me to stay around and watch it.

[00:36:34]>> Where are you going?

[00:36:36]>> We've got to live here, don't we? I'm going out and try to find a plumber, electrician, a carpenter.

[00:36:47]>> If you'd only let me tell him, Mo, we was trying to build you A WOOD BAR.

[00:36:50]>> THAT WAS ALL, MAMA, and it was his idea.

[00:36:53]We thought you'd like it, Mom. And George was never in on it.

[00:36:56]>> We're sorry, Mo. We didn't mean to spoil your kitchen.

[00:36:59]>> We're terrible. Sorry, Mo. Is he going to lick us all after a while?

[00:37:03]>> Well, I'll I'll tell him later when he's calmed down some. Now, come on. Help me clean up this mess. Come on. Get a mop and a broom. Go on. HOLD UP.

[00:37:11]>> OKAY, MA.

[00:37:27]>> FRANK, call your brother.

[00:37:28]>> Yes, sure.

[00:37:38]George. Hey, George.

[00:37:49]His hat and coat's gone. Guess he must have went out.

[00:37:56]>> He'll be back soon enough.

[00:37:58]Sit down.

[00:38:07]Well, where do you think you're going?

[00:38:11]>> I don't feel good, PIE. GOT TO THROW UP.

[00:38:19]>> Don't think the child would have taken it into his head to run away.

[00:38:23]>> And if he does, so what?

[00:38:26]>> Well, it's such a cold night.

[00:38:28]If he tried hopping a freight, >> he'll hop no freight.

[00:38:33]If I know George, he's no further than down the street >> waiting to be coaxed. Well, I'll tell you this. He'd wait a long time before I coax him.

[00:38:48]8:00 on time.

[00:38:55]I'm all out of plug tobaca.

[00:38:57]I'll just run down the corner and get some.

[00:39:05]>> You children, clear the table as soon as you're finished. I owe Mrs. Crown and a cup of sugar since goodness knows when.

[00:39:17]If George should come back, his dinner's in the oven.

[00:40:03]You'll need some more water, Jin.

[00:40:05]>> Oh, that's plenty. No, you'll need something rich. I'll go next door. I'll go with you. Well, who's going to give Matt and me a hand?

[00:40:19]All right for you. I guess I'd like TO LOOK FOR HIM JUST AS MUCH AS YOU. AND I'D find him too. So there will solve. YOU COME BACK HERE.

[00:40:40]GEORGE. Hey George.

[00:40:56]No, Trace.

[00:40:58]>> He'll come home by morning. His empty stomach will get the best of his pride.

[00:41:06]>> Here. Here. Get upstairs. The lot of you. Simply because your brother's behaving like a fool is no reason why you should turn night owls. Go on.

[00:41:17]>> Come on, you two. You go to bed.

[00:41:19]>> Good night, boys.

[00:41:19]>> Good night, Mom.

[00:41:26]>> Oh, can I do anything for you, Mom?

[00:41:28]>> Oh, no, dear. Thanks. But thanks for doing the dishes. Run on upstairs to bed now.

[00:41:33]>> Good night, Mom.

[00:41:33]>> No, darling.

[00:41:36]>> Good night, Paul.

[00:41:38]>> Good night, Jim.

[00:42:47]George, PLEASE.

[00:42:53]>> OH, my darling, don't ever do that again.

[00:42:56]>> I ain't staying, Mom.

[00:42:58]>> Oh, yes, you are.

[00:42:59]>> Not after what he done. The only reason I come home. Al told me he was crying.

[00:43:04]>> Now you listen to me, George Sullivan.

[00:43:07]He's your father. He's quick-tempered, but he's a fine man and he's your father. And no matter what happens, you're never to raise your hand to him because that's a sin.

[00:43:16]>> He hit me and I didn't do one single thing.

[00:43:18]>> That's his right, George.

[00:43:21]There's your father. Come on, sit on it.

[00:43:25]>> I'll be a good boy and tell him you're sorry. But more >> for my sake, George.

[00:43:48]>> I'm sorry, Pop.

[00:43:51]>> I'm sorry, too.

[00:43:56]George, you shouldn't lose your temper.

[00:44:01]>> Every Irishman sees Red once in a while.

[00:44:04]Mama, give this man some breakfast. A lot of breakfast.

[00:44:20]Well, I guess that ought to learn us Sullivans to stick together.

[00:45:01]You boys better step on it if you don't want to be late for work.

[00:45:04]>> Right with you, Mom.

[00:45:05]>> Okay, Mom.

[00:45:07]>> Morning, Mom.

[00:45:09]>> Oh, good morning, George. I want you to be careful in that motorcycle race. I dreamt last night you got hurt.

[00:45:15]>> A mom. There you go with your dreams again. Now don't worry.

[00:45:19]>> Well, anyway, I wish you'd get rid of it.

[00:45:20]>> Well, I'm going to.

[00:45:22]>> Good.

[00:45:23]>> I'm going to buy a faster one.

[00:45:26]>> Morning, Mom.

[00:45:27]>> Oh, good morning, Frank. Listen, if you insist upon making those fly hooks, do it some other place besides the bathroom. Your father nearly stepped on one in his bare feet.

[00:45:36]>> Okay, Mom.

[00:45:37]>> Yeah. And don't mess that paper up until your father sees it. All right, mom.

[00:45:41]>> Morning, ma.

[00:45:42]>> Good morning, Tel. I thought you were saving your money to go to the World Series.

[00:45:47]>> Well, I am. Good morning, Mom.

[00:45:50]>> Good morning, Matt.

[00:45:52]>> What time did you get in last night?

[00:45:54]>> Oh, I was home at 11:00.

[00:45:55]>> That's funny. It's the first time in 35 years your father's watch has been wrong. His said 12:30.

[00:46:03]>> Morning, Mom. Good morning, Al.

[00:46:06]>> Oh, mom.

[00:46:10]Well, I'll see.

[00:46:12]>> There goes that touch again.

[00:46:14]>> Have I ever asked you guys for anything?

[00:46:16]>> Yes, >> that's what I thought.

[00:46:19]>> Say, where's Jen?

[00:46:20]>> Oh, she was up late. She went to a dance last night.

[00:46:22]>> Who?

[00:46:23]>> None of your business.

[00:46:24]>> Well, who brought her home?

[00:46:25]>> Ask her.

[00:46:26]>> Where was it?

[00:46:27]>> The Elks Hall.

[00:46:28]>> Say, she's getting high tone.

[00:46:30]>> Yeah.

[00:46:32]>> Good morning.

[00:46:33]>> Good morning.

[00:46:34]>> Good morning.

[00:46:34]>> I was just bringing your coffee up to you, my lady. Shall I get the carriage ready, my lady?

[00:46:39]>> Well, my lady pocket.

[00:46:41]>> Oh, pass the must to the old battle axe.

[00:46:45]>> Who took you to the dance last night?

[00:46:46]Jen, >> wouldn't you like to know? Oh, Jen, pass this, wouldn't you?

[00:46:50]>> Okay, Mom.

[00:46:53]>> Pop.

[00:46:53]>> Good morning, Pop. The Phillies lost yesterday.

[00:46:59]Who pitched? Koski.

[00:47:02]There'll never be another Mitchell.

[00:47:04]That guy had a hop on his fast one.

[00:47:21]on you.

[00:47:45]>> Oh, I can't watch. Oh, Jim, don't you want to see him win?

[00:47:58]LET'S go and talk to your old boy. Well, >> it should look closer for a minute.

[00:48:22]>> You doesn't want another cup, huh?

[00:48:24]>> You know, just at the foot of the grid, I thought she was going to quit on me.

[00:48:26]Sure. Ah, the old bike's got plenty of dick.

[00:48:29]>> Let's make a dirt.

[00:48:32]>> I'm proud of you, George.

[00:48:33]>> I'll ride it home for you, Georgie.

[00:48:34]>> Oh, nobody's going to ride this baby but me.

[00:48:37]>> Okay.

[00:48:41]>> I think the girl that marries George, she'll always come second to that motorcycle.

[00:48:46]>> There are five brothers. George is the oldest and Al's the youngest. George is cute.

[00:48:57]Al, don't wait for me. Oh, Glattus. Oh, hi, Glad. What's cooking?

[00:49:03]>> Hello, Al Kathy Mary. I'd like to introduce Mr. Sullivan. This is Miss Roof.

[00:49:07]>> Oh, pleased to meet you, Miss Roof.

[00:49:09]>> How do you do, Mr. Sullivan? Your brother's certainly a wonderful rider.

[00:49:12]>> Well, George, yeah, he's Tops.

[00:49:15]Well, look, Glattus, you uh you probably have a date or something, so I'll be seeing you. Watch your step here, Miss Roof. It's kind of bumpy.

[00:49:47]Well, I can fix this easy.

[00:49:49]>> Oh, well, if you want to.

[00:49:58]Don't bother, Mr. Sullivan. You'll miss the whole day.

[00:50:00]>> Oh, it's no trouble.

[00:50:04]>> Besides, it's nice out here.

[00:50:08]>> Beautiful. I don't care such a lot about dances and a lot of people clowning around. Anyhow, >> sure, I know. I don't go for that sort of stuff either. It's funny, but in the middle of a crowd sometimes I feel so alone.

[00:50:22]>> Yeah, me too.

[00:50:25]>> Honest. You do?

[00:50:27]>> Sure I do. Right in the middle of a crowd. It It's like I was all by myself.

[00:50:35]Here, try this besides.

[00:50:36]>> All right.

[00:50:39]There.

[00:50:40]>> That's fine. Thanks a lot.

[00:50:47]Well, I guess we ought to go back in.

[00:50:50]>> Yeah.

[00:50:51]>> It's kind of warm in there, though.

[00:50:52]Don't you think?

[00:50:53]>> Yeah, kind of.

[00:50:55]>> Well, let's sit out a while, then h this roof.

[00:50:58]>> All right.

[00:51:08]>> I didn't know anybody felt like I about so many different things.

[00:51:11]>> I do. And you know what else? What?

[00:51:15]>> I think you're swell.

[00:51:17]>> You don't know whether I'm swell or drippy. Don't forget you only just met me.

[00:51:22]>> Oh, but I knew right off the moment I saw you.

[00:51:24]>> You knew what?

[00:51:27]>> That's your swell.

[00:51:29]>> That's your regular line.

[00:51:30]>> Regular line? It's no such thing. I never said that to any girl in my life.

[00:51:35]Ask anybody. I never date girls. I'm with my brothers all the time.

[00:51:40]Hey, listen. You don't think I'm giving you a line, do you?

[00:51:46]I couldn't be anything but sincere with you.

[00:51:49]I mean it, Katherine Mary, >> I like you a lot, too.

[00:51:58]>> Say, you sure have got a small wrist.

[00:52:01]>> Me?

[00:52:01]>> Uh-huh. It's just about the smallest wrist I ever saw on a girl. It's real slender.

[00:52:08]>> Here, look at it compared to mine.

[00:52:13]Katherine, Mary, >> I wonder what time it is. I guess it's pretty late.

[00:52:29]>> Oh, no, it's not late. What's the matter, honey? Didn't you want me to kiss you?

[00:52:34]>> Oh, yes. Only someone I only just met.

[00:52:37]Only an hour.

[00:52:38]>> Oh, that's got nothing to do with it.

[00:52:40]how long people know each other.

[00:52:42]>> I guess you think I'm pretty common and cheap.

[00:52:45]>> Oh, how could I?

[00:52:47]>> Kissing someone I only just met.

[00:52:49]>> Will you shut up? Nothing you could do would make me think that you were anything but sweet and lovely.

[00:52:57]I couldn't even respect my own mother more than I do you.

[00:53:06]We'll go home now.

[00:53:11]But it's going to be plenty tough trying to sleep.

[00:53:15]>> Me, too.

[00:53:21]>> Hey, Jen, hurry with my pants. I got places TO GO.

[00:53:23]>> THEY'RE PRACTICALLY DONE.

[00:53:25]>> JEN, where's my pants? I've been waiting for an hour.

[00:53:28]>> They're on the fire. Coming up.

[00:53:33]>> Now, boys, I'm not selling THESE, MERELY DEMONSTRATING. THE IDEA IS TO GET THEM INTO the hands of the consumer. Of course, THERE WILL BE A SIGHT, JOHN.

[00:53:40]>> WAIT, WAIT A MINUTE. QUIET.

[00:53:42]>> SORRY.

[00:53:45]>> This house hasn't been quiet in 25 years.

[00:53:49]>> Now, first you got to kick in with a quarter. See, I hope you guys appreciate that our big sister, who has a heavy date on every Saturday night, takes time out to press our pants. And not only that, but she wants to get a permanent.

[00:54:00]So, come on, kick it with the quarters now.

[00:54:01]>> Give him a quarter for me.

[00:54:02]>> Yeah, take care of mine, too, will you, kid?

[00:54:04]>> Pay tomorrow, pal.

[00:54:05]>> Say, what is this? I thought today was payday.

[00:54:07]>> Give me time to get to the bank, please.

[00:54:09]>> Seems to be a penalty on a fellow being thrifty around here. I got to make a payment on my bike, too.

[00:54:15]>> A dollar, George. There. Okay.

[00:54:31]Can I see a minute, George?

[00:54:37]Yeah.

[00:54:39]>> Are they uh hiring any men down at the plant?

[00:54:41]>> Oh, I guess so. Why?

[00:54:43]>> Oh, a kid I know wants a job.

[00:54:45]>> Who? Oh, he's just a friend of mine.

[00:54:48]>> Couldn't be one of my brothers, could it?

[00:54:51]>> Now, what gave you that idea?

[00:54:52]>> Now, look, kid. I don't have to have a house fall on me. You're going to finish school. We didn't.

[00:55:00]You're going to get the breaks, and I'm going to see to it that you do.

[00:55:04]Now, forget that job idea, huh?

[00:55:08]>> Okay, George.

[00:55:26]>> Hey, you know what? I was just thinking Al hasn't been running around with us since the day of the motorcycle race.

[00:55:32]Well, where have you been? He's been running around with a steady girl every night.

[00:55:36]>> Uh-oh, I got it. He was just asking me about a job. Hey, the first thing you know, that little twerps will wind up married.

[00:55:43]>> Well, a lot of people get married. Some of them even like it.

[00:55:46]>> Yeah, but he's too young yet.

[00:55:50]>> Where's Al? Just went downstairs.

[00:55:53]>> Hey, fellas, get a load of this. Just read it. Must be a copy of a letter he wrote to his girl. I found it in the waste basket.

[00:56:01]Looking into your eyes is like looking into a deep blue lake.

[00:56:07]>> Get a load of this line. I fall asleep at night thinking of how the sun looks in your head.

[00:56:12]>> Let me see that.

[00:56:14]>> Good night, my beautiful doll, my wife.

[00:56:18]Great stuff. Now, >> wait a minute. Wait a minute. We got to do something about this.

[00:56:22]>> But quick, >> don't Al here. I'm a good collector.

[00:56:29]It's about time they began paying me for this pressing business. Say, it's supposed to be a dollar and a quarter.

[00:56:35]Where's yours? I'll give it to you next week. Who's the lucky guy tonight?

[00:56:39]That'd be telling. Say, how come you never bring your dates home so as we can look them over?

[00:56:43]>> Listen, one look at this crowd of wild mix and anybody in his right mind would run.

[00:56:47]>> Well, whoever he is, he's dating the cutest little gal in Wateroo.

[00:56:51]>> How much?

[00:56:53]>> A dollar, huh, Jen? Oh, gee, I need it in the worst way.

[00:56:57]Okay. But from now on, I do my own collecting. That's a dollar and a quarter I owe you. All right.

[00:57:03]>> Doesn't last week count?

[00:57:04]>> Oh, sure. Sure it does. Thanks a lot, Jen.

[00:57:12]Can you keep a secret? You know what they say about women. I'll trust you.

[00:57:20]>> Oh, it's beautiful. Where'd you win it?

[00:57:23]Win it. I'm buying. I I bought it.

[00:57:26]Hey, your hand's about the same size as Katherine Mary's.

[00:57:32]>> You mean you're engaged?

[00:57:35]>> Who said anything about being engaged?

[00:57:37]>> Where's Ma?

[00:57:39]>> Out in the yard.

[00:57:43]>> Remember now, it's a secret.

[00:57:52]>> Oh, Mom. I was looking for you.

[00:57:54]>> Well, you're seeing me. Can I ask you something?

[00:57:56]>> Fire ahead. But if it's about money, now >> no, mom. Uh, look, could I ask a girl to come here for Sunday dinner?

[00:58:03]>> What girl?

[00:58:03]>> Katherine Mary Roof. She's a friend of mine. And oh, you'll be crazy about her.

[00:58:08]I'm honest you will. So, could I?

[00:58:10]>> Well, of course you can, son. Uh, Roof, are they the ones that live in the White House on Elm?

[00:58:15]>> Yeah, that's her. Well, Mom, uh, could we have something a little different, maybe?

[00:58:22]>> What do you mean something different?

[00:58:24]Oh, you know, something like a turkey.

[00:58:27]Turkey with Thanksgiving 4 months off.

[00:58:31]How about old Dominic then? He'd be tougher than shoe leather.

[00:58:35]>> A the way you'd cook him, he'd melt in your mouth. Gee, thanks, darling. You're the best.

[00:58:39]>> Yes, you save that soft soap for the girl.

[00:58:45]>> Oh, Mom. Uh, do you think you could get Pop not to chew tobacco?

[00:58:50]>> He's been chewing tobacco ever since I met him. Not our mind talking.

[00:59:08]>> Mom, can I help?

[00:59:10]>> Yeah. Take in that basket of clothes.

[00:59:12]>> Okay. Did you see Al?

[00:59:15]>> Yeah. Did he show you the ring?

[00:59:18]>> What ring?

[00:59:20]Oh, I forgot. It was supposed to be a secret.

[00:59:29]>> Tom.

[00:59:30]>> Mhm.

[00:59:30]>> What do you think of your youngest, >> Al?

[00:59:33]>> He's got a steady girl.

[00:59:34]>> Oh, he'll have a hund steady girls before he settles down.

[00:59:39]>> No, I don't think so.

[00:59:41]He wants to bring her here for dinner tomorrow.

[00:59:44]The little roof girl, Katherine Mary.

[00:59:47]Well, only when she meets up with this wild gang of hoodlams, she'll run for home like somebody set fire to her.

[00:59:53]>> Hoodlams? I like that. Where could you find a planer house full of children in the whole world, let alone Waterloo?

[01:00:02]>> Oh, for heaven's sake. What's eating you?

[01:00:06]Oh, come on, mama. Turn off the waterworks.

[01:00:10]What's the matter?

[01:00:13]Well, >> because he got Daffy over some little girl. Now, what's there to cry about in that? He wouldn't be a legal Sullivan.

[01:00:20]He didn't have a knife for the women.

[01:00:22]But >> Tommy's just a baby. If it were George now, or Frank even's not good enough for him, a little snip like that.

[01:00:31]>> This roof girl, I didn't know you knew her.

[01:00:34]>> I don't.

[01:00:35]>> Then how come she's a little snip of a girl who wasn't good enough for her? She may be a a prize winner. Oh, so she's got you on her side already. She's not going to take me in with her lip pouroge and her permanent wave.

[01:00:48]Well, >> I'll be a dirty me.

[01:00:56]>> I'll not have you spitting tobacco juice over the portrail.

[01:00:59]>> What do you want me to do? Swallow it?

[01:01:01]>> Fine impression Miss Rof will get of the Sullivan family.

[01:01:04]>> She better find out what it were like just from the start. Anyhow, I thought you didn't like >> That's enough out of you.

[01:01:11]This is her now.

[01:01:14]>> That's mom.

[01:01:16]Hi, fellas.

[01:01:20]>> Well, I can't see what Al sees in her.

[01:01:23]>> That's what folks said to me when you were calling me. Put your coat on.

[01:01:33]>> Mom, this is Captain Mary.

[01:01:36]>> How do you do, Miss Ruth? How do you do, Mrs. Sullivan? Nice of you. Pardon me. I >> I was just going to >> Hello, Katherine Mary.

[01:01:48]>> I'm Al's old man.

[01:01:50]>> Pleased to meet you, Mr. Sullivan.

[01:01:52]>> Well, Al, introduce your brothers and sisters.

[01:01:55]>> Oh, sure. Pop. Katherine Mary, this is my sister, Genevie.

[01:01:59]>> Hello. Hello, Genevieve. I almost feel I know you. I've heard so much about you.

[01:02:04]>> And this is George and Frank and Joe and Matt. Meet Miss Roof.

[01:02:07]>> It's good to meet you. Glad to know your acquaintance.

[01:02:10]>> Thank you. Certainly glad to meet you.

[01:02:16]>> Well, shall we sit down? Thank you, >> Joe. Get out of your father's chair.

[01:02:35]>> Awfully warm, isn't it? Yes.

[01:02:40]Well, one of you boys offered Miss Rof a cigarette.

[01:02:43]>> Oh, here's one.

[01:02:45]>> Thanks. Just the same, but I don't smoke.

[01:02:50]>> Well, Tom, you and the boys make our guests feel at home, and I'll go get the supper on. Uh, Jen, give me a hand like a good girl.

[01:02:56]>> Couldn't I help, Mrs. Sullivan? I'd be only too glad to.

[01:02:59]>> No thanks. That isn't necessary. I guess we don't do things just the way they ought to be done around here, but we manage. I suppose at home you have plenty of help. Just Agnes. She actually raised me. Oh, well, if you'll pardon me now, make yourself at home.

[01:03:25]>> He's late.

[01:03:26]Here, let me help you to some more turkey.

[01:03:30]>> Yes, have some more, please.

[01:03:31]>> Oh, no, thank you. I've had a great sufficiency, Miss Sullivan. The turkey is delicious.

[01:03:36]I only wish I could cook half as good as you do.

[01:03:39]>> Well, I've been cooking a good many of years. I'll bet you're a good cook, though.

[01:03:44]>> I'll bet she is, too.

[01:03:46]>> Are you the only child in your family?

[01:03:48]>> Yes, ma'am. My mother passed away when I was real small. I live with my father.

[01:03:52]>> Oh, I'm sorry.

[01:03:54]Have I seen the two of you at church? I don't recall.

[01:03:57]>> Well, you might have. We go to St. Cecilius.

[01:03:59]>> St. Cecilius? Oh, well, that's a lovely parish.

[01:04:03]Well, I've gone to church there several times.

[01:04:07]>> I have, too. I think I'll go there next Sunday.

[01:04:11]>> Oh, you better stay in your own parish.

[01:04:12]Your father Francis will crown you.

[01:04:14]>> Uh, Al knows another girl that goes to St. Cerius, don't you? Al Betty? Betty?

[01:04:19]What's your last name? Well, you know Al, the one you used to write letters to.

[01:04:23]>> Betty? I don't know what you're talking about.

[01:04:25]>> Hey, get him. Now we don't remember who Betty is.

[01:04:29]>> That's easy, Al. Look in your date book.

[01:04:31]Say, what is this, a joke? Because if it is, I don't.

[01:04:34]>> You better look out for that, Romeo.

[01:04:36]>> Yes.

[01:04:37]>> The trouble with Al is he hands them all the same line.

[01:04:40]>> Sure, I know it by heart. I fall asleep at night thinking how the sun looks in your hair.

[01:04:46]>> Not bad.

[01:04:47]>> See, I can take a rib, but you guys are overdoing it.

[01:04:50]>> Al, did you have the nerve to write some poor girl that much talk? Katherine Mary, if he hands you that guff, I'll take it out of him. I will.

[01:05:01]Al, you want to be ashamed of yourself.

[01:05:03]>> Oh, yeah. And and what was that other one you had? Looking into your eyes is like looking into a deep blue lake.

[01:05:10]>> For brown eye girls, he used to make it brown velvet.

[01:05:13]>> Oh, and the best of all, according to our pintsized Romeo here, never fails.

[01:05:18]>> Good night, my beautiful doll. My wife.

[01:05:23]>> Oh, and look out, Miss Ruth that he doesn't start writing you letters because when he starts pulling that.

[01:05:28]>> Excuse me, please.

[01:05:37]Katherine Mary, you're a bunch of low down sneaking rats. I could kill you.

[01:05:49]>> Mary.

[01:05:54]Catherine Mary.

[01:05:59]He really was man enough to kill you.

[01:06:01]And who'd blame him?

[01:06:02]>> Oh, now now, mama. The boys are only poking a little good-natured fun at him.

[01:06:06]And if he got off that soft talk, he had it coming to him.

[01:06:09]>> Oh, he did, Eddie.

[01:06:11]>> Well, to tell you the truth, Al never pulled that line on nobody but her. We found a copy of a letter he wrote her.

[01:06:17]>> And you read it. A letter from a fine, clean boy with a heart bursting with love to his girl. And you use it to torment him.

[01:06:25]>> Oh, mama.

[01:06:25]>> And you? You side with them against your own son.

[01:06:35]>> Honey, won't you listen to me? Will you stop annoying me? Do I have to call police?

[01:06:39]>> Catherine and Mary, look at me. Darling, they were trying to kid me. They didn't mean any harm by it. They got hold of a copy of my letter that I wrote you.

[01:06:46]>> I wouldn't be surprised if you showed it to them. I wouldn't be one bit surprised if you passed it around for all of them to read.

[01:06:51]>> I'd give you my word I didn't do that.

[01:06:52]>> Here's your letter and here's your ring.

[01:06:55]And I don't care if I never see you again. Put that in your private token.

[01:06:59]>> Catherine Mary.

[01:07:27]We're a bunch of heels.

[01:07:28]>> Yeah, you can say that again. But how do we make it up to the kid?

[01:07:32]>> Well, whether he patch it up with Kathern Mary or not, you'll be back after us before the day's out.

[01:07:38]>> Yeah, and he's got a poke in the nose coming to him. Uh, him doing the poking.

[01:07:42]I mean, >> well, it's up to you, Matt.

[01:07:44]>> What's up to me?

[01:07:45]>> To take the licking.

[01:07:46]>> Me? Why? We was all in on it.

[01:07:48]>> Well, figure it out for yourself. He can't let the four of us.

[01:07:51]>> Sure he can if we don't fight back, just line up.

[01:07:53]>> Where's the satisfaction in that? And the way he was feeling, he'd use himself up on the first one.

[01:07:58]>> Oh, wait a minute. Small change is plenty rugged. And mad as he was, he's liable to kill me.

[01:08:02]>> Well, we'll be standing by, and if the going gets too tough, he'll pull him off here.

[01:08:06]>> Hey, that sounds like it. Go out in the hall now. We can't help but see it. Go on.

[01:08:11]>> No, this is a chip.

[01:08:21]So yeah, we're sorry about what happened. If you want to take a sock at me, go ahead. You got a right to hit me. Gee, he must be mad.

[01:08:48]>> He was just laying there looking up at the ceiling like he was dead or something.

[01:08:51]>> Shut up, >> Frank.

[01:08:55]Call your brother.

[01:08:57]>> Never mind, Frank.

[01:08:59]I'll call him.

[01:09:07]Ow.

[01:09:13]>> Good morning, son.

[01:09:15]>> Good morning, Mom.

[01:09:20]I've got something you love for breakfast. Waffles.

[01:09:31]Thanks, Mom. But I'm not hungry.

[01:09:44]Will one of you take a poke at me? It was my smart idea.

[01:09:48]>> We got to do something.

[01:09:49]>> Right. And what?

[01:09:50]>> I'll tell you like what? The four of you get yourselves clean and decent and go over and see that girl.

[01:09:55]>> Oh, listen, Mom. We can't do that.

[01:09:58]>> Have a hard m. She'd spit right in our eye. She's mad at El. What'll she think of us?

[01:10:02]>> What could we say? You've got plenty to say. Tell her the truth that you found a letter. Tell her how bad things are with Al. If she's got any sweetness in her at all, she'll forgive him.

[01:10:13]>> Oh, Mom. It'll be tough to face her.

[01:10:16]>> That's out. I'd feel like the dope of the world.

[01:10:19]>> How do you feel now?

[01:10:20]>> Look, Mom. Why don't you come along with us?

[01:10:22]>> Me?

[01:10:23]>> Yes. You should go.

[01:10:26]>> Yes. And you're going, too.

[01:11:04]Do you want to see me?

[01:11:09]>> Look, Miss Rof, here's what happened. You see, we >> Do you want to come in?

[01:11:34]Hey, Al.

[01:11:37]Al, come down, son.

[01:11:45]>> I'll be down later, Mom. Heat. Heat.

[01:12:25]L.

[01:12:38]Well, honey, I love you so much.

[01:12:43]Don't say anything. Don't say anything.

[01:12:49]I join you together in marriage. In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.

[01:13:03]Bless, O Lord, this ring which we bless in thy name, that she who is to wear it, keeping true faith unto her husband, may abide in thy peace and obedience to thy will, and ever live in mutual love, through Christ our Lord. Amen.

[01:13:26]With this ring >> With this ring >> I thee w >> I thee w >> and I plight unto thee my truth.

[01:13:34]>> And I pled unto thee my truth.

[01:13:37]>> Natrice at spirit of sanctity. Amen.

[01:13:44]>> And our 10th anniversary too.

[01:13:46]>> Yep. That's right. 10 months today.

[01:13:50]Oh, here. No, no, no. I can get it now.

[01:13:56]>> All right. All right. Keep your shirt on. I'm coming.

[01:14:02]>> Hello. Yeah. Yeah, this is him.

[01:14:07]Yeah. Well, you see, I I had to take my wife down to the doctor and Well, look, I I tell you what. I'll come down now and explain the whole thing to you.

[01:14:19]Okay. Okay, if that's the way you feel about it, that suits me fine. Goodbye.

[01:14:23]>> Who are you so mad at?

[01:14:25]>> Dumb cluck. Just because.

[01:14:26]>> Who was it?

[01:14:26]>> Oh, a guy down at the plant.

[01:14:28]>> Oh, honey. They weren't sorry about you taking the afternoon off, were they? You sure can't afford to lose your job now.

[01:14:33]>> No, I sure can't.

[01:14:36]>> Listen, sweetheart. Why don't you go inside and lie down?

[01:14:39]>> Oh, don't be silly. I'm going to get supper.

[01:14:45]>> What do you hope? I hope it's a boy.

[01:14:48]What do you want? Boy or a girl?

[01:14:50]>> Me? Oh, I don't care. As long as you're okay.

[01:14:53]>> I told the doctor what we'd do would be to send him $5 a week. That way, we'd be square with him by the time the baby's born and then leave you the hospital to worry about. That okay?

[01:15:02]>> Yeah. Yeah, sure. That's fine.

[01:15:04]>> What you have to do is work out a schedule and then stick to it no matter what. Bath at a certain time.

[01:15:11]>> Al, you're not even listening.

[01:15:13]>> Oh, I'm listening.

[01:15:15]Honey, you're glad, aren't you?

[01:15:18]>> Of course I am.

[01:15:19]>> Well, then act like it for heaven's sake. Give me a kiss.

[01:15:29]>> You're such a swell girl. You deserve the best of everything. Maybe you're no tied up to an old wash out like me.

[01:15:37]>> Al Sullivan, how dare you say such a thing as if I could have married anybody else in this world.

[01:15:43]Maybe you're not a millionaire yet, but you got a good steady job. And now with a baby to work for, I bet you get a raise any day now.

[01:15:49]>> We'll be okay.

[01:15:52]>> Well, guess that's the family. I'll drive him later, honey.

[01:15:59]>> Hello, G.

[01:16:01]>> Well, what did the doc say?

[01:16:02]>> What did he say?

[01:16:03]>> Come on. No secrets.

[01:16:04]>> Yeah, tell us.

[01:16:04]>> Come on. What did he say?

[01:16:06]>> He said yes.

[01:16:07]>> Well, shut my mouth and call me Uncle Catherine Mary. Oh, it's wonderful.

[01:16:12]Oh, honey, I'm so glad for you. We think it's pretty wonderful, don't we, Al?

[01:16:16]>> You bet we do. Look, honey. Uh, you take Jen inside in the bedroom and show her the stuff we got today. Huh?

[01:16:21]>> Okay, Jen, come on. I'll get some yarn the first thing in the morning.

[01:16:24]>> Yeah. What color? I think blue.

[01:16:26]>> Come on inside for us.

[01:16:34]>> What's eating you, small chain? Sh.

[01:16:41]What's the matter, Al? Katherine Mary's all right, isn't she?

[01:16:43]>> Oh, sure. She's fine. Doc said everything was perfect. It's me.

[01:16:48]>> You?

[01:16:49]>> Yeah. I got fired.

[01:16:51]>> You got fired? Shh.

[01:16:57]>> Well, how you fix, kid? Not too good. We got all the stuff for the house on credit.

[01:17:02]>> Listen, you'll get a job easy.

[01:17:04]>> Oh, sure. I was only 3 months trying to get this one. I'll talk to Sam Basset down to the plant first thing in the morning.

[01:17:15]>> I sure am a ball of fire. Best wife in the world and now a kid.

[01:17:20]>> No, shut up. This could happen to anybody. Look, I just got paid. I got a 20 I can spare you.

[01:17:25]>> Well, what about the new carburetor for the bike?

[01:17:28]>> Oh, sure. Yeah, and I got some dough I can give you.

[01:17:31]>> Listen, fella. If I had a quarter even, you could have it and welcome. But I'm flat.

[01:17:34]>> Yeah, me too.

[01:17:36]If it was me, I wouldn't even borrow it from you. But right now, all I can do is take it and say thanks.

[01:17:42]>> Well, you skip it. Small change. You hight tail it down to the plant first thing in the morning. I'll have that dove for you. Well, keep your chin up, Papa.

[01:17:52]>> Good night, Cather Mary. So long.

[01:17:54]>> What the hell? You only just got here.

[01:17:56]>> Well, there's a hat down in Bonan's window that Jen wants to take a look at.

[01:18:00]I hope it's not one of those silly flat ones.

[01:18:01]>> Oh, no. I like that kind.

[01:18:03]>> Come on, Jen.

[01:18:03]>> See you tomorrow, honey. Yeah. Good night. So long.

[01:18:06]>> Good night.

[01:18:07]>> So long, guys.

[01:18:08]>> Bye-bye.

[01:18:08]>> So long.

[01:18:12]>> When this one's born, let's have another one right away.

[01:18:14]>> Hey.

[01:18:15]>> Oh, I'd hate to think of a guy growing up without brothers.

[01:18:19]>> So would I.

[01:18:35]What time is it now?

[01:18:37]>> 3 minutes later than when you asked me the last time.

[01:18:40]>> Mom, should it take this long if everything's all right?

[01:18:43]>> 4 hours is nothing for the first one anyway. It gets easier as you keep on having them.

[01:18:47]>> Keep on. I'm telling you, I'd rather cut off my right arm before we >> Easy, fella. Easy. Don't say anything you'll take back later.

[01:18:55]>> Mr. Sullivan, >> boy or girl? Uh, which of you is the father?

[01:19:01]>> Me? Me? I am. Is my wife all right?

[01:19:03]>> It's a fine sevenb boy, Mr. Sullivan.

[01:19:05]And your wife came through it beautifully.

[01:19:09]>> Oh, gee, I got to throw up.

[01:19:17]>> Mr. Sullivan, wait.

[01:19:18]>> Oh, he'll be back.

[01:19:20]>> Hey, we're uncles.

[01:19:26]Client. Shh.

[01:19:30]She sounds like pop.

[01:19:52]>> It's a boy, Catherine. Mary, it's little Jimmy.

[01:19:56]>> Have you seen him? Oh, you bet.

[01:19:59]>> Is he all right? Don't lie to me, Al. Is he perfect?

[01:20:04]>> My honey, he's beautiful. Wait till you see for yourself. The nurse is bringing him in.

[01:20:15]>> I'll take him.

[01:20:16]>> No.

[01:20:27]I was just a man. How was that?

[01:20:32]>> Oh, he's beautiful.

[01:20:35]>> I didn't know they were born with fingernails.

[01:20:39]I'm sorry to cry like this. Oh, it's so wonderful.

[01:20:43]>> Yeah. What do you think I'm doing?

[01:20:51]>> Make him stand still. You hold him, Catherine Mary. Oh, don't take a picture of me. I look like somebody the cat dragged in. Need my hair done.

[01:20:57]>> Dames. They always tell you how terrible they look. But let you make one crack and brother look out.

[01:21:02]>> Ow. Come on.

[01:21:04]>> Still, Timmy, I'll go back to you and take your picture.

[01:21:09]>> It's pity you can't think of something better to do than lolling over the funny papers.

[01:21:13]>> Oh, mom, have a heart. It's a day of rest. Huh?

[01:21:16]>> Lot of rest. You need stick an apple in your mouth and you'd look like a fine fat roasting pig. Hey, take your feet off the table.

[01:21:27]>> Joe, will you for heaven's sakes turn off that long drawer's music and get something decent?

[01:21:32]>> I like it.

[01:21:32]>> I don't give me those funnies.

[01:21:39]Thanks.

[01:21:48]>> Oh, that's swell. Now make him hold it.

[01:21:50]Oh, wait a minute. I think you're doing here. Al, >> okay.

[01:22:00]>> Uh, Al, what'd you have to go and move for?

[01:22:02]>> Hey, the Japs bomb Pearl Harbor. We're in the war. Come in.

[01:22:07]>> The Japanese planes nearing the island were first reported by a student who had asked permission to use the detector. He reported the presence of a number of aircraft at 7:10 a.m. Honolulu time, but this warning was not acted upon. Exactly how extensive is the damage to our fleet. How many vessels were at anchor in Pearl Harbor is not yet officially known. The president is expected to go before the Congress tonight or early tomorrow and ask for a declaration of war.

[01:22:30]>> Bill Baskam.

[01:22:32]>> Hey, that's right. Bill Baskin's only Arizona. They're out there.

[01:22:35]>> One hour after the treacherous move against the American outpost, Ambassador Namura and Special Envoy Kurasu were in Secretary of State Hull's office handing him the official Japanese response to President Roosevelt's offer. No good dirty sneaking continuously.

[01:22:50]>> Those two guys have been to Washington for a week handshaking the president >> received in our newsroom >> pretending all they wanted was peace.

[01:22:56]>> They knew all the time.

[01:22:57]>> Sure they must have known.

[01:22:59]>> Al, >> those Japs will be sorry they were born.

[01:23:05]Listen, we'll wipe them off the map in a couple of weeks. Don't kid yourself.

[01:23:09]>> What do you mean they can't fight? They close their eyes when they fire off a gun.

[01:23:12]>> Oh yeah, they've been getting ready for this for years. We'll lick them, but it will take plenty of time upstairs.

[01:23:22]>> I'll be back, honey.

[01:23:24]>> No use you coming out.

[01:23:27]Okay, you might as well.

[01:23:44]I think I'll call Mrs. Baskin.

[01:23:48]She must be half crazy.

[01:23:51]Rolly boy.

[01:23:58]>> Well, fellas, what's it going to be?

[01:23:59]Army, Navy, or Marines?

[01:24:01]>> Navy.

[01:24:01]>> Navy.

[01:24:01]>> Right.

[01:24:02]>> Well, if it wasn't for Katherine, Mary and Jimmy, why?

[01:24:04]>> Sure, if it wasn't for them. But you're married and you got a kid and that's that.

[01:24:08]>> Yeah, I know it's only right, but show will seem funny. Up to now, we've been together and everything. The five of us.

[01:24:14]Yeah. The biggest thing of all comes along and I'm out.

[01:24:18]>> Yeah, it's always been the five of us.

[01:24:20]Well, somebody's got to look after mom and pop.

[01:24:22]>> Mom and pop ain't the kind that need looking out for.

[01:24:24]>> So, what do we do about them anyhow?

[01:24:26]>> Do we tell them first or do we do it and then tell them?

[01:24:29]>> We tell them. Suppose they put up a squawk.

[01:24:32]>> Oh, mom might.

[01:24:33]>> This war kind of took her by surprise.

[01:24:35]Us being in it. I mean, >> yeah, her and me.

[01:24:37]>> Yeah, but she'll see. It's the only thing we can do.

[01:24:40]>> Well, let's get all the crowning and the carrying on over with. We got to be down there when they open up the place in the morning. Come on.

[01:24:47]Well, if you hear anything or or there's anything I can do, call me.

[01:24:54]Goodbye, dear.

[01:24:57]We're praying for you.

[01:25:10]Mrs. Baskam's taking it fine. She's got plenty of courage. I'll say that for her. I'd be a mad woman.

[01:25:17]>> Mom would like to talk to you and pop.

[01:25:20]>> Yeah.

[01:25:21]>> I think it'd be nice if the five of you and Jen paid a little call on Mrs. Baskin >> later on. Come on.

[01:25:27]>> Pearl Harbor was still a mass of flames.

[01:25:29]The damage unknown. However, it's feared that the loss of life is heavy. The land garrison and the crews of the ships were asleep, attending church services or absent from their posts on weekend leave. This station will give you the latest bulletins as soon as they are received.

[01:25:48]Pop.

[01:25:49]>> Yeah, I know.

[01:25:52]Well, which will it be?

[01:25:57]Army or Navy?

[01:25:59]>> Navy, probably.

[01:26:00]>> Yeah, >> that would be for me if I were younger.

[01:26:05]>> Al, not you.

[01:26:09]>> No, no, I can't go, Jyn.

[01:26:23]Well, I I think I'll slip over to the church and light a candle for Bill Baskin.

[01:26:32]Light a few candles.

[01:26:34]>> I'll go with you.

[01:26:37]>> Yeah. More gone.

[01:26:48]Well, we're on our way down.

[01:26:49]>> Took the water. Get your loafers out of bed this early.

[01:26:51]>> Yeah.

[01:26:52]>> Well, will they take you right off when you get to come home?

[01:26:54]>> Not me. I never worked for Uncle Sam before.

[01:26:56]>> Hi, Catherine Mary.

[01:26:58]>> Fine. Thanks. Why don't you boys come in for a cup of coffee?

[01:27:01]>> No, I think we better get down. We'll be late.

[01:27:03]>> Well, listen. Give us a call, will you, and let us know what cooks after this won't end?

[01:27:05]>> Yeah. Yeah. Call us.

[01:27:11]It's showing call now. Oh, they're fighting Sullivans.

[01:27:39]You know, it's funny. I was always the lightest, but my right cross was the best of the bunch.

[01:27:49]>> Go on, honey.

[01:27:50]>> Huh? You belong with him. It's always been the five of you.

[01:27:54]>> Hey, wait a minute. I'm a married man, remember? I belong here with you and Jimmy.

[01:27:58]>> We'll make out.

[01:27:59]>> Oh, no, sweetheart. It wouldn't be right.

[01:28:01]>> I want you to go, Al.

[01:28:02]>> Oh, you do, huh? Well, that's a fine thing. Trying to get rid of your old man, are you?

[01:28:07]>> I mean it. Every day the war lasts, you'd be eating your heart out. I couldn't have that. But sweetheart, we'll talk about it later.

[01:28:18]Hurry up and catch up with him.

[01:28:36]Hey, wait for me.

[01:28:45]>> Well, where do you think you're going >> with you? But what about Katherine Mary and Jimmy?

[01:28:49]>> Yeah, what about her?

[01:28:50]>> Well, this is her idea.

[01:28:51]>> Say that Katherine Mary, sure you're a sweetheart.

[01:28:53]>> You bet she is.

[01:29:06]inside please till we call your number.

[01:29:09]Name >> George Sullivan.

[01:29:11]>> Sullivan.

[01:29:13]Number 54.

[01:29:15]Take this and wait inside till we call your number. Name >> Sullivan. Sullivan. Hey, didn't I just Oh, brothers. Hey, Sullivan. Number 55.

[01:29:28]>> Yeah, I know. Inside and wait until my numbers call.

[01:29:31]>> Yeah, that's right.

[01:29:33]Name?

[01:29:34]>> Sullivan.

[01:29:36]Now, listen, buddy. This is no time to be making with the jokes.

[01:29:39]>> That's my name. What?

[01:29:43]Sullivan. Number 56.

[01:29:47]Three of you. What do you know?

[01:29:50]All right. What's your name? Sullivan.

[01:29:56]Sullivan number 57 inside with the rest of the quartet.

[01:30:01]>> Yes, sir.

[01:30:05]>> Now, don't tell me your name is Sullivan.

[01:30:07]>> No, sir.

[01:30:08]>> What is it?

[01:30:09]>> Sullivan.

[01:30:11]>> Sullivan.

[01:30:13]Number 58.

[01:30:17]Five of them.

[01:30:21]Sullivan. Sullivan number 54.

[01:30:24]>> Come on. We all go in together.

[01:30:25]>> One at a time, Sullivan.

[01:30:26]>> Step aside, buddy.

[01:30:27]>> Listen, you.

[01:30:28]>> Tomorrow you can push us around, sailor boy, but today we're still civilians.

[01:30:31]Come on.

[01:30:34]>> You heard what the omen said. I'll see you men one at a time.

[01:30:37]>> You see, sir, we're the Sullivanss.

[01:30:39]We're brothers of five of us. We always been together since we was born, you might say. And that's how we want to go into the Navy.

[01:30:45]>> Yeah, it's like this. We always done our fighting as a kind of team. We Sullivan stick together.

[01:30:50]>> Well, we'll do what we can. Do what you can. Listen, mister, we got to know. If we go, we go together.

[01:30:57]>> Look, son, you can't make deals with the Navy. I told you I'd do what I could.

[01:31:01]Besides, it's probably better that you were separated. If you're all on the same ship, it's >> Sure. Sure. We already talked that over.

[01:31:07]That's okay. We're willing to take our chance.

[01:31:09]>> All right, if that's the way you feel about it.

[01:31:11]>> You mean we can sign to serve on the same ship?

[01:31:14]>> The Navy doesn't give any guarantees.

[01:31:16]All I can say is I'll do the best I can.

[01:31:19]Now, suppose four of you get out of here and let me get the information on Sullivan number 54.

[01:31:24]>> No, sir. I'm sorry. We just couldn't take a chance on being separated. If you can't give us a guarantee, we'll have to find somebody who can.

[01:31:32]>> All right, boys. But let me give you a little bit of advice. Before this war is over, plenty of people are going to find out that they can't always get what they want. That they got to quit worrying about just taking care of themselves, like it or not.

[01:31:45]>> Well, maybe you're right, Admiral, but you can't blame us for trying. Come on, cross the Sullivan names off for me.

[01:32:27]We gates, Admiral.

[01:32:28]>> Well, well, the five bounding Sullivans are boys that want to change the rules and regulations.

[01:32:33]>> Yes, sir.

[01:32:34]>> It's all fixed, sir.

[01:32:35]>> Yeah. Go ahead and show them that letter we got, George.

[01:32:44]Well, now I've seen everything.

[01:32:47]>> If it isn't too personal a question, would you mind telling me just how you finagle this? No, >> it was easy. George wrote a letter to the Navy Department telling them how we stick together and they wrote back.

[01:32:56]Okay.

[01:32:58]>> George wrote a letter to the Navy Department. Huh?

[01:33:01]>> They didn't by any chance say that you were to start as full admirals, did they?

[01:33:04]>> Oh, no, sir. We're willing to start at the bottom. Well, the rank you got will be perfectly okay.

[01:33:14]>> 25 from 40 15 ought from ought. Now I've got to count the whole thing up. If you owe anybody anything that we haven't got down here, speak up. I don't want to add extras when I've got the whole thing done.

[01:33:30]And what about the married man? Is this the lot?

[01:33:34]>> Yeah, it's all there, Pop. Are you doing enough as it is? Taking in Catherine, Mary, and Jimmy. Now, >> where would they live but here? This all counts up to $283.

[01:33:45]>> Pop, why kid around? You know you haven't got $283.

[01:33:48]>> Just wait and go, Pop. We'll send some dough back.

[01:33:51]>> Whenever a sailor has dough enough to send home, there's something wrong.

[01:33:55]>> They'll wait till we get back.

[01:33:57]>> No. No. You leave town with a clean slate. I'll take care of it.

[01:34:00]>> But you ain't got it.

[01:34:01]>> Look, there's never been a mortgage on this house yet.

[01:34:05]Well, there'll be one now.

[01:34:10]>> Thanks a lot, Pop. We sure appreciate it. We'll pay it all back to you, Pop, just as soon as the war is over.

[01:34:16]>> You're sure? I know.

[01:34:19]>> You boys better get going. It's past 10:00.

[01:34:22]>> Yeah, >> on time. First time in a week.

[01:34:26]>> I made you some sandwiches.

[01:34:27]>> What's the matter, Mom? Did you think the Navy would feed us?

[01:34:29]>> Good old mom.

[01:34:30]>> Is Jimmy asleep?

[01:34:31]>> She doesn't. Well, I'm going to say goodbye to him.

[01:34:33]>> Oh, sure. Go ahead, honey.

[01:34:37]George, you're the oldest. Promise you'll take care of him.

[01:34:40]>> I'll sing him to sleep every night. Mom, >> I mean it now. You promise.

[01:34:46]I promise.

[01:34:51]>> Hello, small change.

[01:34:53]And you be a good boy and look after mama for me.

[01:34:58]Don't forget your old man, will you?

[01:35:11]So long, son.

[01:35:13]I'll be seeing you.

[01:35:19]>> Bye, Mom.

[01:35:20]>> Hey, God.

[01:35:22]That's a lot of love.

[01:35:24]>> Bye, Pop. Goodbye, son.

[01:35:28]>> Bye, sis.

[01:35:29]>> You've been swell.

[01:35:32]Aren't you here?

[01:35:55]Goodbye, Mom.

[01:35:56]>> Goodbye, Joey.

[01:35:59]>> Goodbye, Pop.

[01:36:00]>> Goodbye.

[01:36:00]>> If anything goes wrong with her or Jimmy, you let me know.

[01:36:03]>> I will.

[01:36:05]>> So long, Jen.

[01:36:07]Take care of yourself.

[01:36:09]>> Well, let's get going.

[01:36:11]>> Goodbye, honey. Bye.

[01:36:16]>> Take things easy now. And don't you get too tired and write me. See? Sure to your mother.

[01:36:34]>> Don't worry. Goodbye, Mom.

[01:36:38]Everything will be okay. Goodbye.

[01:36:40]>> Goodbye, Dad. Take it easy now. So, pop.

[01:36:43]Be good, son. And >> goodbye. Hey, son. Wait for me.

[01:37:00]They're a fine bunch.

[01:37:03]You can say that again.

[01:37:20]That's a fighting walk.

[01:37:51]Good morning.

[01:37:52]>> Good morning.

[01:37:53]>> Here's two for good measure.

[01:37:54]>> Oh, thank you.

[01:38:05]Catherine Mary. Catherine Mary, you've got a letter from Al.

[01:38:09]>> Oh, wonderful. And I've got one from George.

[01:38:15]And uh let's see what your uncle George has to say.

[01:38:25]Censored.

[01:38:26]Think those big wigs in the Navy have more to do than read other people's mail.

[01:38:32]Now, here we are. Dear mama, everything is going okay.

[01:38:37]The chow is nothing like home, though.

[01:38:40]Your five wandering boys would sure like to tie into one of your pot roast, mama.

[01:38:46]Life on the ocean wave is plenty rugged, but this is war. So what the Don't you ever use that word or wash your mouth out with soap. We sure miss you and Paul and Jen and Katherine, Mary, and little Jimmy.

[01:39:04]You used to kid me about the old bike and how goofy I was about her.

[01:39:10]Well, I feel like that about our ship, the Juno, only it goes double.

[01:39:15]She's the sweetest thing afloat, and we're all mighty proud to be in her.

[01:39:21]Take good care of yourself, Lana.

[01:39:24]Tell Papa to save up a good quid, and maybe we can fix it so he can spit it right in Tojo's eye.

[01:39:35]your loving son, George.

[01:39:41]>> What did Al have to say for himself?

[01:39:44]Oh, said he was fine.

[01:41:33]damage control. Report extended damage.

[01:41:35]>> Damage control bridge. Report extended damage. Torpedo hit at frame 50.

[01:41:39]>> Torpedo hit at frame 50, sir.

[01:41:41]>> Torpedo hit at frame 50, sir. Flood the magazines when necessary.

[01:41:45]>> Flood the magazines when necessary.

[01:41:48]>> Stand by to fire torpedoes.

[01:41:52]>> Fire one.

[01:41:55]Fire.

[01:41:57]There she goes.

[01:43:20]>> WHERE'S GEORGE?

[01:43:21]>> HE'S DOWN IN SICK BAY.

[01:43:23]>> ABANDONED SHIP. Pass the word.

[01:43:24]>> Abandoned ship.

[01:43:50]>> Get out of here. Abandoned ship.

[01:43:52]>> There he is.

[01:43:53]>> Come on.

[01:43:55]>> What's the matter with you, Lux? Get out of here.

[01:43:58]>> Oh, come on, Georgie.

[01:43:59]>> We'll carry you. I I told mom it looked heavier. Can't stick around here and you get your heads b.

[01:44:04]>> YOU CAN'T GO SWIMMING WITHOUT YOU.

[01:44:10]>> Big bite. That's right.

[01:44:12]>> I can't get over how he's grown. Wait till Al sees him.

[01:44:17]>> I don't know what's keeping that Navy fellow. I haven't been late.

[01:44:21]>> We know, Papa. In 33 years >> now. It's nothing to kid about Miss Knowit all. Anyhow, I'm not going to start being late today.

[01:44:29]>> Did he say what he wanted?

[01:44:31]No, just said he had something to tell us.

[01:44:34]>> Don't forget your lunch. He's a pal of the boys, I expect. Maybe he ran into them somewhere's out on the seas. If he's just here, I'll leave. Maybe you could ask him to stay with us. There's enough room now. Goodness knows.

[01:44:46]>> Oh, that's probably him now. Jen, go to the door.

[01:44:52]>> I'll come soon as I finish feeding the baby.

[01:44:58]>> Why, Commander Robinson? Hello, Jen.

[01:45:00]>> Hello, Commander.

[01:45:01]>> Hello, Mr. Sullivan. Hello, Commander Robinson. I haven't seen you since the boys enlisted. Right.

[01:45:06]>> May I have your hat and coat? Oh, >> no thanks. I can only say a little.

[01:45:09]>> Captain Barry, it's Commander Robinson.

[01:45:11]>> Sit down.

[01:45:12]>> Have a cup of coffee. You must be frozen.

[01:45:14]>> No, thank you, Mrs. Sullivan.

[01:45:15]>> Oh, well, sit right here.

[01:45:16]>> Thank you. Well, >> oh, hello, Katherine Mary. How are you?

[01:45:24]>> Fine, thank you.

[01:45:32]Mr. and Mrs. Sullivan, I'm afraid I'm bringing you very bad news.

[01:45:36]>> Did something happen?

[01:45:39]>> Quiet. Jen, >> you see the way these things are done ordinarily, you'd get a telegram right from the Navy Department. But >> which one is it? L.

[01:45:58]>> All five.

[01:46:02]>> All five.

[01:46:30]The Navy Department deeply regrets to inform you that your sons Albert Francis George Joseph and Madison Sullivan were killed in action in the South Pacific.

[01:46:43]>> Oh no, Jimmy.

[01:46:49]Damn it.

[01:47:24]You have to excuse me now.

[01:47:30]Been a freight conductor on the Illinois Central for 33 years.

[01:47:37]Haven't missed a day in all that time.

[01:47:45]Excuse me.

[01:48:36]All Five.

[01:48:44]>> On second thought, Mrs. Sullivan, I will have that cup of coffee.

[01:48:53]>> I'll get it for you.

[01:49:02]>> Morning, Mr. Sullivan.

[01:49:05]That's heat.

[01:49:46]Heat. Heat.

[01:50:07]Today, as we launch the destroyer, USS the Sullivanss, the parents of the five Sullivan boys are here to share in the tribute to their sons, even as they shared their fighting spirit.

[01:50:21]As this ship slides down the ways, it carries with it a special armor all its own. The flaming and undaunted spirit that is the heritage of its name. The five Sullivan boys are gone.

[01:50:37]The USS the Sullivanss carries on.

[01:50:41]May God bless and protect this ship. May her destiny be as glorious as the name she bears.

[01:51:00]I christen the USS the Sullivans.

[01:51:22]Tom, our boys are afloat again.

[01:51:53]Heat. Heat.
