1:05:01
Yes, yes! Daddy,
it's Stan on the phone from Chicago.

1:05:04
- He wants to talk to you.
- Oh, not me, honey, not after that chicken-out.

1:05:07
- But, Daddy, it's about a job.
- I don't care what it's about.

1:05:09
- I don't want anything else to do with that fellow.
- Oh, but l-l—

1:05:12
- Rog, don't be unreasonable.
- I'm not being unreasonable.

1:05:15
There's a fundamental weakness
in that fellow— a basic lack of character.

1:05:19
And if you're smart,
you'll hang up on him. Now, Susan—

1:05:21
- Daddy, l—
- Now, Susan, I'm telling
you this for your own good.

1:05:24
I think your dad is quite right, darling.
1:05:26
Stan's behavior
has been absolutely inexcusable.

1:05:28
- Absolutely inexcusable.
- But, Daddy—

1:05:30
And for the meantime, you can come
right back home and stay with us.

1:05:33
Your old room is still there
waiting for you, you know.

1:05:35
We can put Peewee and Peter
in Janie's old room right next to Dad.

1:05:39
On the other hand, of course, we certainly
don't want to be unfair to the boy.

1:05:43
- Oh, Daddy, you're a darling!
- No, no, no.

1:05:45
There are always two sides
to a situation.

1:05:47
You can't condemn a man without even
listening to what he has to say for himself.

1:05:51
- Can you?
- Of course not.

1:05:53
You don't need to worry.
Just tell him exactly what you told me.

1:05:55
- Now, here he is. Daddy, here.
- Now, wait, wait.

1:05:57
Let's get one thing straight. If he doesn't
have a darned good explanation—

1:06:01
- I understand, Daddy.
- All right, now, as long as that's understood.

1:06:05
Hi, boy! Uh-huh.
1:06:08
Oh, n-nothing to explain, fella.
Nothing—

1:06:11
We understand perfectly.
Now, what's this you've got on your mind?

1:06:14
Uh-huh. Yes.
1:06:17
Yeah—Well, Stan, of course.
1:06:20
- Now, what's his name?
- I have all that, Daddy!

1:06:22
Now, Stan— Now, listen.
Why don't you just leave this up to us?

1:06:25
Now, you go on to Rochester
or wherever you have to go...

1:06:28
and-and just don't give it
another thought.

1:06:30
We'll give this fella Turner
the "A" treatment.

1:06:33
Caviar, champagne,
the red carpet, everything.

1:06:35
He's as good as sewed up right now.
Okay? All right.

1:06:38
Oh, and-and Peggy
sends her love to ya.

1:06:40
- Bye, now.
- I love you, Daddy.

1:06:43
- Oh, I love you.
- I love you too, dear.

1:06:46
You just don't know what it's like
to be out of a job like that for so long...

1:06:49
with a wife and-and two babies
depending on you.

1:06:52
You get so worried,
so ashamed somehow...

1:06:55
that you say things— both of you—
that you don't really mean.

1:06:59
Yeah, I suppose so. I suppose so.
