Got anything for us? We're short three columns. 02:10.000 --> 02:11.000 No, not a thing. 02:11.000 --> 02:12.000 George. 02:12.000 --> 02:15.000 Just run blank spaces, and that's the best kind of news these days, anyhow. 02:15.000 --> 02:20.000 You just don't wait for things to happen, George. News is people. 02:20.000 --> 02:23.000 Everyone has a story. You just have to look. 02:23.000 --> 02:27.000 Most well. If you never got out of this ivory tower of yours here, Susan, you... 02:27.000 --> 02:31.000 Listen, if I chose, I could very possibly get a story out of the next person to come through that door. 02:31.000 --> 02:33.000 Oh, sure, sure. Very possible. 02:33.000 --> 02:38.000 Don't stand there looking so smug, George. If I really wanted to... 02:38.000 --> 02:43.000 Oh, excuse me. I'm looking for the office for you at least one time. 02:43.000 --> 02:45.000 Well, that's a second door down, and she was... 02:45.000 --> 02:48.000 Not so fast, Susan. Come in, sir. Come in. 02:48.000 --> 02:50.000 George. 02:50.000 --> 02:53.000 You don't mind helping us with a little argument, do you, Mr... 02:53.000 --> 02:56.000 It's Too Good. A very good Too Good. 02:56.000 --> 03:00.000 Uh-huh. Well, Miss Armstrong and I were just having a friendly little debate, Mr. Too Good. 03:00.000 --> 03:04.000 Miss Armstrong claims that everyone has a story worthy of the front page of our newspaper. 03:04.000 --> 03:07.000 Well, I just came here to this place once. 03:07.000 --> 03:12.000 Well, I'm sure we don't want to detain you, Mr. Too Good, and you're most likely a very busy man. 03:12.000 --> 03:13.000 I'm retired. 03:13.000 --> 03:19.000 Oh. Retired from an interesting occupation, I suppose. An explorer, mountain climber. 03:19.000 --> 03:20.000 Isn't that book-keeping? 03:20.000 --> 03:22.000 Oh, really, George. 03:22.000 --> 03:27.000 Perhaps you have an exceptional family, Mr. Too Good. 20 children? 40 grandchildren? 03:27.000 --> 03:28.000 I'm a bachelor. 03:28.000 --> 03:30.000 Well, that settles that. 03:30.000 --> 03:32.000 Sorry to let you down, Miss Armstrong. 03:32.000 --> 03:36.000 Well, in every argument, somebody wins, somebody loses. Right, Susan? 03:36.000 --> 03:41.000 But if I find Adelaide, Miss Armstrong, I'll come back and let you know. 03:41.000 --> 03:45.000 Uh, Adelaide? Who's Adelaide? 03:45.000 --> 03:47.000 Yes, uh, who's Adelaide, Mr. Too Good? 03:47.000 --> 03:52.000 Well, she's the reason I'm placing the ad. To try and locate her. 03:52.000 --> 03:58.000 I have a drawing I made of her. I thought I might run that, too, if it doesn't cost too much. 03:58.000 --> 04:00.000 Could I see it, please? 04:00.000 --> 04:04.000 Oh, well, certainly, Miss Armstrong. Here you are. 04:04.000 --> 04:08.000 Oh, she's very beautiful, Mr. Too Good. 04:08.000 --> 04:09.000 Let's see it, Susan. 04:09.000 --> 04:11.000 Well. 04:11.000 --> 04:15.000 I guess I've been in love with Adelaide all my life. 04:15.000 --> 04:19.000 Oh, she looks very young. You made this drawing some time ago. 04:19.000 --> 04:23.000 Well, not too long ago, and that's how I remember her. 04:23.000 --> 04:25.000 But she would have changed since then. 04:25.000 --> 04:30.000 Well, that's one thing about childhood sweethearts. They never really change. 04:30.000 --> 04:34.000 Oh, you haven't seen her since she looked like this? 04:34.000 --> 04:35.000 No. 04:35.000 --> 04:39.000 And Mr. Too Good, don't bother about our want ad department. 04:39.000 --> 04:44.000 We're going to run your story and Adelaide picture on the front page. 04:44.000 --> 04:48.000 Yeah. Yeah, Virgil Too Good seeks childhood sweethearts. 04:48.000 --> 04:54.000 Why, that's very kind of you. But do you think people would be interested in the drawing? 04:54.000 --> 04:58.000 Interested? Of course they'd be interested. This is a great human interest story. 04:58.000 --> 05:00.000 Well, I'll spread it all over the country. I'll... 05:00.000 --> 05:01.000 George, uh... 05:01.000 --> 05:07.000 Oh. Oh, yeah. Susan, you deserve a great deal of credit for helping me think of this. 05:07.000 --> 05:34.000 Extra, extra, has anybody here seen Adelaide? 05:34.000 --> 05:45.000 Is the mayor here yet this morning, Susan? 05:45.000 --> 05:48.000 Yes, Miss Susan, but I thought I'd let you get breakfast out of the way. 05:48.000 --> 05:50.000 There's hardly room for both. 05:50.000 --> 05:52.000 You hear all about Adelaide as usual. 05:52.000 --> 05:54.000 All about Adelaide. 05:54.000 --> 05:55.000 Yes. 05:55.000 --> 05:59.000 And there's bound to be twice as many down at the office. 05:59.000 --> 06:01.000 Well, hey, you help me open some of them. 06:01.000 --> 06:04.000 I'm glad too. They make very choice reasons. 06:04.000 --> 06:06.000 Listen to this. 06:06.000 --> 06:12.000 A radio program wants Virgil and Adelaide, when found, as contestants. 06:12.000 --> 06:16.000 Guarantees them a house, furniture, dishes, honeymoon in Hawaii. 06:16.000 --> 06:21.000 Look, here's one offering Virgil and Adelaide six weeks at the Palace in New York. 06:21.000 --> 06:26.000 But reply immediately because they're stalling off a seal act. 06:26.000 --> 06:30.000 And look, some magazine wants to serialize the true story of Virgil and Adelaide, 06:30.000 --> 06:32.000 America's most popular couple. 06:32.000 --> 06:36.000 And they want Adelaide found at once because the story's already working. 06:36.000 --> 06:40.000 Oh dear. When are they going to locate Adelaide, Miss Susan? 06:40.000 --> 06:44.000 I wish I knew. The whole thing's getting a little frightening. 06:44.000 --> 06:48.000 Well, with the proper persuasion, I could change my name. 06:48.000 --> 06:50.000 Yes, but how about Adelaide's picture? 06:50.000 --> 06:53.000 Let me look at her again. 06:53.000 --> 06:59.000 Hmm. Maybe I'd better wire the Palace, see if they have an opening in the seal act. 06:59.000 --> 07:01.000 A seal act. 07:01.000 --> 07:09.000 Music 07:09.000 --> 07:10.000 Hi, Mr. Harvey. 07:10.000 --> 07:13.000 Oh, morning, Sammy. Sit down. Join me in a spot of breakfast. 07:13.000 --> 07:15.000 Don't mind if I do. Are you Mr. Harvey? 07:15.000 --> 07:16.000 Dreamer. 07:16.000 --> 07:17.000 Just thought I'd ask. 07:17.000 --> 07:19.000 Have you been up at the office yet, Sammy? 07:19.000 --> 07:22.000 Sure. Six more women are there claiming to be Adelaide. 07:22.000 --> 07:25.000 You think you'll ever find her, Mr. Harvey, do you? 07:25.000 --> 07:26.000 Anything else, Mr. Harvey? 07:26.000 --> 07:27.000 Morning, Sammy. 07:27.000 --> 07:28.000 Hi, Grace. 07:28.000 --> 07:31.000 What about you, Grace? Do you think Virgil is ever going to find Adelaide? 07:31.000 --> 07:33.000 Oh, I've seen her picture, Mr. Harvey. 07:33.000 --> 07:37.000 Young, very pretty. That's the way he remembers her. 07:37.000 --> 07:39.000 Yeah, that was years ago, of course. 07:39.000 --> 07:42.000 But if he ever finds her, she isn't going to look that way, not anymore. 07:42.000 --> 07:44.000 You mean you hope he doesn't find her, Grace? 07:44.000 --> 07:48.000 Oh, he never will. One way or another, he never will. 07:48.000 --> 07:52.000 Sorry to be so pessimistic, boys, but this is one of those mornings when my face hurts. 07:52.000 --> 07:53.000 I'll get your menu, Sammy. 07:53.000 --> 07:55.000 What do you think, Mr. Harvey? 07:55.000 --> 07:59.000 I don't know, Sammy. I guess I better get up to the office. 07:59.000 --> 08:00.000 Six women there, you said, huh? 08:00.000 --> 08:03.000 When I was there, yes. There might be six more by now. 08:03.000 --> 08:08.000 Yeah. Sammy, if Virgil doesn't find her soon, we're going to be up to our necks in Adelaide. 08:08.000 --> 08:19.000 ... 08:19.000 --> 08:20.000 You wanted me, Susan? 08:20.000 --> 08:22.000 Oh, George, is Virgil here yet? 08:22.000 --> 08:25.000 No, not yet. He said he'd be in this morning, though. 08:25.000 --> 08:30.000 George, I've been thinking. You know we built this story up to pretty big proportions. 08:30.000 --> 08:33.000 There was nothing really. You helped, of course. 08:33.000 --> 08:38.000 Thank you. But has it struck you that Virgil has been very vague about the tales? 08:38.000 --> 08:44.000 We've been sponsoring something that's of national interest, and we're going to look awfully silly if it's... 08:44.000 --> 08:45.000 Well, if it is... 08:45.000 --> 08:46.000 You're what? 08:46.000 --> 08:50.000 Well, I just think that we ought to know a lot more facts about where we're going, that's all. 08:50.000 --> 08:54.000 Well, don't give it a thought, Susan. When Virgil comes in this morning, I'll pin him down. Leave it to me. 08:54.000 --> 08:55.000 I'll just... 08:55.000 --> 08:56.000 Yes, come in. 08:56.000 --> 09:00.000 Oh, good morning, Mr. Armstrong. Mr. Harvey? 09:00.000 --> 09:01.000 How are you, Virgil? 09:01.000 --> 09:04.000 Come in and sit down, Mr. Too Good. 09:04.000 --> 09:09.000 Thank you. Any luck? 09:09.000 --> 09:13.000 Well, nothing definite. Mr. Too Good? 09:13.000 --> 09:14.000 Yes? 09:14.000 --> 09:24.000 I was just discussing with Mr. Harvey, perhaps it would help us if you could fill in a few more details about Adelaide. 09:24.000 --> 09:25.000 Oh, of course. 09:25.000 --> 09:30.000 Like, what did she do? Did she have a job when you knew her? Was she going to school, or what? 09:30.000 --> 09:35.000 Well, I generally pictured her being on stage most of the time I did. 09:35.000 --> 09:37.000 Drama or musical comedy? 09:37.000 --> 09:40.000 Well, you know I hadn't really thought about that, Mr. Harvey. 09:40.000 --> 09:46.000 Mr. Too Good, you say you pictured Adelaide? You almost talk as though you never even knew her. 09:46.000 --> 09:51.000 Oh, I never claimed to have actually known her, Ms. Armstrong. I was never that lucky. 09:51.000 --> 09:53.000 But you saw her. 09:53.000 --> 09:59.000 Oh, of course. I see her all the time. Well, I can close my eyes and I can see her right now. 09:59.000 --> 10:03.000 Close your eyes? But, but... Susan, you take him. 10:03.000 --> 10:09.000 Mr. Too Good, Virgil, Adelaide doesn't actually exist then, except in your mind? 10:09.000 --> 10:14.000 She exists, Ms. Armstrong. I know she does. I've been in love with her all my life. 10:14.000 --> 10:20.000 And she loves me. And if it goes, I've never actually seen her, doesn't mean that she doesn't exist. 10:20.000 --> 10:23.000 Somewhere. Doesn't? 10:23.000 --> 10:26.000 You, you didn't have a model for that picture you drew? 10:26.000 --> 10:29.000 Well, of course I did, Mr. Harvey. Adelaide. 10:29.000 --> 10:30.000 Adelaide. 10:30.000 --> 10:37.000 But you should have told us, Mr. Harvey. We've given this a lot of publicity, and in a sense, we can be held responsible. 10:37.000 --> 10:40.000 You couldn't have helped me if I had told you. 10:40.000 --> 10:42.000 Then I'm glad I didn't. 10:42.000 --> 10:43.000 Virgil. 10:42.000 --> 10:48.000 And you can give up looking for her if you want to, Ms. Armstrong. And Mr. Harvey. But I never have. 10:48.000 --> 10:52.000 And I'll find her. 10:52.000 --> 10:56.000 Well, what do we do now? 10:56.000 --> 11:00.000 I was against this whole idea from the beginning, Susan. If you remember, I warned you that... 11:00.000 --> 11:07.000 All I remember is that we've started a nationwide search for someone who doesn't exist. Now, how do we get out of it? 11:07.000 --> 11:11.000 Well, we might go into some other business, like a meat market. 11:11.000 --> 11:15.000 You're a big help, George. And get your thumb off the scale. 11:15.000 --> 11:23.000 I had an instinct against Virgil from the beginning. Dishonest ear lobes. And if you'd listen to me, Susan, no mood for games, Sammy. 11:23.000 --> 11:25.000 A telegram just came. I opened it. Guess what? 11:25.000 --> 11:26.000 I mean, we do the... 11:26.000 --> 11:28.000 Adelaide, she's been found. 11:28.000 --> 11:29.000 What? 11:29.000 --> 11:33.000 A paper a New York founder. They say there's no doubt whatever about her being Adelaide. 11:33.000 --> 11:35.000 And they're putting her on a plane for Hillsdale tonight. 11:35.000 --> 11:36.000 Collette. 11:36.000 --> 11:37.000 Adelaide or the telegram? 11:37.000 --> 11:39.000 Both. 11:39.000 --> 11:41.000 Well, George, what do we do now? 11:41.000 --> 11:45.000 Well, I guess we'd better go out and meet the plane. 11:45.000 --> 12:02.000 There are times, George, when you're positively brilliant. 12:02.000 --> 12:04.000 You find out if the plane's on time, George? 12:04.000 --> 12:06.000 Yeah, they said it should be here any minute now. 12:06.000 --> 12:09.000 Susan, you think we did the right thing not telling Virgil? 12:09.000 --> 12:12.000 Well, of course. We want to be sure what kind of person she is, sir. 12:12.000 --> 12:15.000 Well, but I don't know what difference it makes. If it's Adelaide, he loves her. 12:15.000 --> 12:19.000 I wonder how they were so sure in New York that she is Adelaide. 12:19.000 --> 12:21.000 I think that she had a picture of herself when she was young, 12:21.000 --> 12:24.000 and it matches Virgil's drawing of his imaginary sweetheart. 12:24.000 --> 12:28.000 Yes, I guess so. It's kind of exciting, isn't it, George? 12:28.000 --> 12:32.000 The girl he only dreamed of, and now she's come true. 12:32.000 --> 12:36.000 Well, hardly a girl, Susan. I hope she likes the shawl we brought her and the candy. 12:36.000 --> 12:39.000 I hope you didn't get hard candy, George. You know how these were people at age. 12:39.000 --> 12:42.000 All soft at it. Nothing but chocolate cream. 12:42.000 --> 12:45.000 Well, here comes the plane, Susan. 12:45.000 --> 12:49.000 I just know she's going to turn out to be an old dear. 12:49.000 --> 12:51.000 This is probably her first plane trip. 12:51.000 --> 12:54.000 Maybe we should have brought Virgil along after all. 12:54.000 --> 12:56.000 Yes, maybe we should, George. 12:56.000 --> 13:00.000 Have you got her picture there? I want to see if she looks anything like she used to. 13:00.000 --> 13:03.000 Here, Susan. And you'll soon find out. 13:03.000 --> 13:04.000 Let's go up and meet her. 13:04.000 --> 13:07.000 Right with you, George. 13:07.000 --> 13:09.000 Susan, look. 13:09.000 --> 13:12.000 Look? Oh, that must be the stewardess, George. 13:12.000 --> 13:15.000 That couldn't be... 13:15.000 --> 13:17.000 That could be Adelaide. 13:17.000 --> 13:20.000 Virgil hit the jackpot. Look at Adelaide. 13:20.000 --> 13:22.000 Hey, are you two supposed to be meeting each other? 13:22.000 --> 13:23.000 Yes, we are supposed to. 13:23.000 --> 13:24.000 Where's Virgil? 13:24.000 --> 13:27.000 Well, but you look exactly like the picture. 13:27.000 --> 13:28.000 Exactly. 13:28.000 --> 13:31.000 What's the matter? Am I not supposed to look that way? 13:31.000 --> 13:33.000 How else would they know I was Adelaide? 13:33.000 --> 13:35.000 Well, they just said we expected a... 13:35.000 --> 13:38.000 We expected what? Why all the surprise? 13:38.000 --> 13:42.000 Adelaide, you think we're surprised just the way that we tell Virgil. 13:52.000 --> 13:54.000 Hi, this is Sherry Lewis. 13:54.000 --> 13:58.000 You know, they say seeing is believing, but you can't always believe everything you see, 13:58.000 --> 14:01.000 for you may not be seeing all there is to see. 14:01.000 --> 14:05.000 The ability to read distant signs and charts only indicates that one 14:05.000 --> 14:08.000 has the ability to read distant signs and charts. 14:08.000 --> 14:12.000 Good sight depends on many other visual skills as well. 14:12.000 --> 14:15.000 Vision defects can be a particular problem with children 14:15.000 --> 14:19.000 because changes in vision occur so gradually that they may not be aware of them. 14:19.000 --> 14:25.000 In fact, studies indicate four out of ten school children are handicapped by visual defects. 14:25.000 --> 14:29.000 I recently took my preschool daughter for her first annual vision exam. She loved it. 14:29.000 --> 14:31.000 Obviously, a vision exam doesn't hurt. 14:31.000 --> 14:34.000 She had such fun exploring the optometrist's office, 14:34.000 --> 14:37.000 and I had fun hearing that her eyes were up to par, 14:37.000 --> 14:40.000 especially since 80% of learning is seeing. 14:40.000 --> 14:44.000 Why don't you give your youngsters the opportunity to learn as much as possible? 14:44.000 --> 14:48.000 Have their eyes and yours professionally examined at least once a year. 14:48.000 --> 15:01.000 The American Optometric Association recommends it. 15:01.000 --> 15:08.000 And now back to our two stars, Irene Dunn and Fred McMurray, and the second act of our story. 15:08.000 --> 15:14.000 When a girl who has existed only in the imagination of Virgil Tuga turns up in the flesh, that's one thing. 15:14.000 --> 15:20.000 When she turns out to be some 40 years younger than Susan and George supposed she would be, that's another. 15:20.000 --> 15:32.000 Right now, George is getting expert help on the problem. 15:32.000 --> 15:34.000 Is that all right now, Mr. Harvey? 15:34.000 --> 15:36.000 She's over at Miss Armstrong's house, Sammy. 15:36.000 --> 15:38.000 Have you told Mr. Tuga about her yet? 15:38.000 --> 15:41.000 No, not yet. I'm supposed to bring him over this evening. 15:41.000 --> 15:46.000 Well, if you want someone to take Adelaide off his hands, Mr. Harvey, I'm available. 15:46.000 --> 15:47.000 Go away, Sammy. 15:47.000 --> 15:50.000 What's her attitude about the whole thing, Adelaide? 15:50.000 --> 15:54.000 Well, as near as I can figure out, she's under the impression that she won a contest of some kind. 15:54.000 --> 15:56.000 She doesn't seem too bright. 15:56.000 --> 15:58.000 Does she look like her picture? 15:58.000 --> 15:59.000 Exactly. 15:59.000 --> 16:00.000 Who needs to be bright? 16:00.000 --> 16:05.000 Nevertheless, Sammy, it should be obvious even to you that Virgil and Adelaide are not the perfect couple. 16:05.000 --> 16:07.000 Oh, you'll figure a way out of it, Mr. Harvey. 16:07.000 --> 16:08.000 Thank you, Sammy. 16:08.000 --> 16:11.000 Of course, it will be the wrong way, but at least it'll be your own. 16:11.000 --> 16:13.000 Your confidence touches me. 16:13.000 --> 16:17.000 And if it doesn't work out with Virgil, Mr. Harvey, put in a word for me, huh? 16:17.000 --> 16:20.000 Oh, I will, Sammy, I will. And I know just the word. 16:20.000 --> 16:24.000 Oh, I doubt I get very far with Adelaide. 16:24.000 --> 16:39.000 Virgil. Yes, Mr. Harvey? 16:39.000 --> 16:45.000 Virgil, there is something I feel I ought to explain to you, or try to, before we get where we're going. 16:45.000 --> 16:47.000 Where are you taking me, Mr. Harvey? 16:47.000 --> 16:49.000 To Miss Armstrong's house, Virgil. You see, it's... 16:49.000 --> 16:53.000 I don't think I've had the chance to thank both of you, Mr. Harvey. 16:53.000 --> 16:55.000 What you've been doing for me? 16:55.000 --> 16:57.000 Oh, it's nothing, Virgil, nothing. But... 16:57.000 --> 17:06.000 I just can't get over it. People from all over the country, they're actually interested in me. They're my friends. 17:06.000 --> 17:09.000 Yes. Virgil, about Adelaide... 17:09.000 --> 17:16.000 Mr. Harvey, somehow I feel very close to her. I feel that I'm going to find her. 17:16.000 --> 17:23.000 Virgil, did you ever consider that Adelaide might not be exactly as you thought of her all these years? 17:23.000 --> 17:30.000 She will be, Mr. Harvey. I know exactly how she'll look, what she'll say. I couldn't be mistaken. 17:30.000 --> 17:33.000 I've thought about her too long to be mistaken. 17:33.000 --> 17:37.000 Well, here we are at Miss Armstrong's house, Virgil. 17:37.000 --> 17:40.000 I feel that I'm getting closer to Adelaide all the time. 17:40.000 --> 17:44.000 Virgil, maybe you'd better wait outside just a minute. Do you mind? 17:44.000 --> 17:49.000 After you've waited as many years as I have, Mr. Harvey, you don't mind a few more minutes. 17:49.000 --> 17:54.000 Well, yes. Poor Virgil. 17:54.000 --> 18:03.000 Any sign of George yet, Patience? 18:03.000 --> 18:06.000 Not yet. Adelaide getting impatient. 18:06.000 --> 18:09.000 I told her Virgil was coming, and that would be quite a surprise. 18:09.000 --> 18:12.000 That's a pretty safe statement. 18:12.000 --> 18:16.000 It's going to be an awful shock to poor Virgil, too. His dream girl. 18:16.000 --> 18:20.000 I just hope he doesn't... Oh, sounds like the door. 18:20.000 --> 18:22.000 Susan. 18:22.000 --> 18:23.000 Where's Virgil, George? 18:23.000 --> 18:29.000 Well, I left him outside in the porch. I thought I might prepare the ground with Adelaide before I brought him in. 18:29.000 --> 18:32.000 She's right in there, George. I just wish you luck. 18:32.000 --> 18:37.000 Well, thanks, Susan. And as soon as I've made things perfectly clear to Adelaide, you can bring in Virgil. 18:37.000 --> 18:42.000 Maybe I'd better fix Virgil a box lunch, Mr. Harvey. He might have a long way. 18:42.000 --> 18:47.000 Well, here goes. 18:47.000 --> 18:48.000 Adelaide? 18:48.000 --> 18:52.000 Oh, it's you. Come on in. 18:52.000 --> 18:55.000 Adelaide, I'm here to explain a few things to you. 18:55.000 --> 18:56.000 Wow. 18:56.000 --> 18:57.000 You see, it's... 18:57.000 --> 19:00.000 About time somebody explained something. All I got so far is mystery. 19:00.000 --> 19:02.000 Like a second half of a double feature. 19:02.000 --> 19:03.000 You see, Adelaide... 19:03.000 --> 19:04.000 Sit down. 19:04.000 --> 19:06.000 Here. 19:06.000 --> 19:07.000 Thank you. 19:07.000 --> 19:09.000 You, um, like my dress? 19:09.000 --> 19:13.000 Dress? Oh, very pretty, and what there is of it. 19:13.000 --> 19:15.000 You see, Adelaide... 19:15.000 --> 19:16.000 You said that. 19:16.000 --> 19:23.000 Oh. What I wanted to say is, I'm afraid you're in for a little surprise about Virgil, I mean. 19:23.000 --> 19:27.000 Oh, everybody tells me I'm in for a surprise. Is not what I think he is? 19:27.000 --> 19:29.000 Well, not exactly. No. 19:29.000 --> 19:36.000 Gee, the only reason my boyfriend let me come is I told him the publicity would be good for my career. 19:36.000 --> 19:38.000 I entered beauty contests. 19:38.000 --> 19:47.000 And then Harry, that's my boyfriend, he didn't need to be jealous because Virgil's old enough to be my grandfather. 19:47.000 --> 19:49.000 You mean he isn't? 19:49.000 --> 19:51.000 Well, I didn't exactly say that. I... 19:51.000 --> 19:52.000 No. 19:52.000 --> 19:53.000 No what? 19:53.000 --> 19:54.000 You're Virgil. 19:54.000 --> 19:57.000 Me? Oh, now, now, wait a minute, Adelaide, I... 19:57.000 --> 20:02.000 That's why everybody kept saying it was going to be a surprise. Why, Virgil, you're cute. 20:02.000 --> 20:04.000 No, wait, Adelaide, restrain yourself. Think of Harry. 20:04.000 --> 20:10.000 And you're noble, too. Imagine you thinking of Harry when you're face to face with your dream girl. 20:10.000 --> 20:12.000 But I... but you are... 20:12.000 --> 20:14.000 Virgil! 20:14.000 --> 20:18.000 Oh, I'll be right back, Adelaide. 20:21.000 --> 20:25.000 Well, did you prepare the ground for Virgil, Joel? 20:25.000 --> 20:32.000 Virgil? Susan, would you go out and explain to Virgil that I... well, I had a sudden attack of the... 20:32.000 --> 20:34.000 Well, I had an attack and I'll talk to him later. 20:34.000 --> 20:38.000 Why should I do that, George? Why should I tell Virgil a lie? 20:38.000 --> 20:41.000 Well, Susan, what makes you think it's a lie? 20:49.000 --> 20:50.000 Is Miss Armstrong in, Sammy? 20:50.000 --> 20:52.000 In her office, Mr. Harvey. 20:52.000 --> 20:54.000 Well, I'm going in there right now and straightening this whole thing out. 20:54.000 --> 20:59.000 She seems to hold me responsible for this whole ridiculous situation, Sammy. Can you imagine that? 20:59.000 --> 21:00.000 Sure. 21:00.000 --> 21:05.000 Well, I'm not going to stand for it. I'm going in there and then... how does she seem today? 21:05.000 --> 21:08.000 Not too happy today, Mr. Harvey, about you and Adelaide. 21:08.000 --> 21:14.000 I was strictly not at fault. And whether Susan likes it or not, I'm going to tell her point blank what actually... 21:14.000 --> 21:16.000 You think she might be in a better mood after lunch? 21:16.000 --> 21:19.000 Women just don't understand these things, Mr. Harvey. 21:19.000 --> 21:20.000 You are so right, Sammy. 21:20.000 --> 21:21.000 I know you weren't to blame. 21:21.000 --> 21:22.000 No, thanks. 21:22.000 --> 21:25.000 Forgive him, Miss Armstrong, I said. Forgive him. 21:25.000 --> 21:26.000 You did? 21:26.000 --> 21:29.000 It was just that when he saw Adelaide, it was bigger than both of them. 21:29.000 --> 21:30.000 Oh, fine. 21:30.000 --> 21:33.000 It's a very interesting situation, Mr. Harvey. 21:33.000 --> 21:34.000 I'm glad you're enjoying it. 21:34.000 --> 21:38.000 Now, if you figure you and Adelaide and Miss Armstrong, it's a triangle. 21:38.000 --> 21:39.000 Sammy. 21:39.000 --> 21:40.000 Taking in Virgil, it's a rectangle. 21:40.000 --> 21:41.000 I don't care... 21:41.000 --> 21:43.000 But including Harry, it's a pentagon. 21:43.000 --> 21:44.000 Including who? 21:44.000 --> 21:50.000 Harry, Adelaide's boyfriend. He followed her here from New York. He was here earlier this morning. 21:50.000 --> 21:51.000 Well, where did he go? 21:51.000 --> 21:54.000 Over to Miss Armstrong's house in Seattle-Ade. 21:54.000 --> 21:57.000 I imagine they're having a friendly chat even now. 21:57.000 --> 22:00.000 Yes, I imagine. A little fellow, huh? 22:00.000 --> 22:02.000 Oh, wait, Lifter. 22:02.000 --> 22:03.000 I was just hoping. 22:03.000 --> 22:08.000 But don't worry, Mr. Harvey. I'm sure you can explain everything before it's too late. 22:08.000 --> 22:09.000 Sammy. 22:09.000 --> 22:11.000 Is this him, kid? Virgil? 22:11.000 --> 22:15.000 I didn't expect you back so soon. Mr. Harvey, this is Harry. 22:15.000 --> 22:17.000 Well, nice to see you, Harry. 22:17.000 --> 22:19.000 You fit the description all right. 22:19.000 --> 22:21.000 You got anything to say before... 22:21.000 --> 22:22.000 Before what? 22:22.000 --> 22:27.000 Before I fix it so you don't get any more innocent girls here from New York on phony pretenses. 22:27.000 --> 22:28.000 Virgil... 22:28.000 --> 22:32.000 No, no, no. Now, wait, Harry. In the first place, I'm not... 22:32.000 --> 22:33.000 You tell him, Sammy. 22:33.000 --> 22:34.000 Don't blame Mr. Harvey. 22:34.000 --> 22:35.000 No. 22:35.000 --> 22:36.000 It was bigger than both of them. 22:36.000 --> 22:37.000 That's right. 22:37.000 --> 22:38.000 No! 22:38.000 --> 22:39.000 I could stand and or sit and... 22:39.000 --> 22:42.000 Oh, no, wait. Sammy, go get Miss Armstrong. She can explain. 22:42.000 --> 22:43.000 Sure, Mr. Harvey. 22:43.000 --> 22:46.000 This whole thing is just a case of mistaken identity, Harry. 22:46.000 --> 22:48.000 Nothing to get angry about at all. 22:48.000 --> 22:49.000 You see, I... 22:49.000 --> 22:51.000 Oh, you wanted to see me, Paul? 22:51.000 --> 22:54.000 I certainly did. Susan, this is Harry. He's here from New York. 22:54.000 --> 22:55.000 He's a friend of Adelaide's. 22:55.000 --> 22:59.000 Would you explain to him that I have not been carrying on with Adelaide? 22:59.000 --> 23:02.000 May I ask you a question, Mr. Harvey? 23:02.000 --> 23:03.000 Crunk. Harry Crunk. 23:03.000 --> 23:07.000 Mr. Crunk, do you have any plans concerning Adelaide? 23:07.000 --> 23:13.000 I sure do. As soon as I finish with Hartzrob here, I'm going to drag her back to New York. 23:13.000 --> 23:18.000 But if I told you that she's not been carrying on with Hartzrob here... 23:18.000 --> 23:22.000 Well, I might let her stick around a while. I guess. 23:22.000 --> 23:23.000 Oh, I see. 23:23.000 --> 23:26.000 Susan, what are you waiting for? Tell him the truth. 23:26.000 --> 23:32.000 I'm really sorry, George. And this is going to hurt me more than it does you, almost. 23:32.000 --> 23:33.000 Susan, what... 23:33.000 --> 23:38.000 Mr. Crunk, it was... well, it was just bigger than both of them. 23:38.000 --> 23:40.000 What? So am I. 23:40.000 --> 23:41.000 Hey, Harry, now wait. 23:41.000 --> 23:46.000 Oh, poor George. 23:46.000 --> 23:50.000 Don't give him any pity, Miss. His kind ain't worth it. 23:50.000 --> 24:03.000 He's coming around, Miss Armstrong. You can't kill Mr. Harvey. 24:03.000 --> 24:07.000 But it was an awfully good try, Sammy. Feeling better, George? 24:07.000 --> 24:09.000 Why did you do it to me, Susan? 24:09.000 --> 24:12.000 Oh, I'm sorry, George. Really. 24:12.000 --> 24:19.000 But the whole thing with Adelaide and Virgil was getting so complicated, and if this was a way of getting her out of town... 24:19.000 --> 24:21.000 Well, there must have been an easier way. 24:21.000 --> 24:23.000 Oh, does it hurt very much, George? 24:23.000 --> 24:27.000 No, just numb. But what do we do about Virgil? 24:27.000 --> 24:33.000 Well, I guess we ought to tell him his dream girl's leaving town. Give him a chance to see her anyway. 24:33.000 --> 24:35.000 You really think so? 24:35.000 --> 24:38.000 Well, he's apt to find out from someone else that she's been here, George. 24:38.000 --> 24:40.000 Yeah, he might at that. 24:40.000 --> 24:45.000 And we just had had him chasing a dream that doesn't exist for the rest of his life. 24:45.000 --> 24:48.000 Yeah, I guess so. Have you got any idea where he is? 24:48.000 --> 24:52.000 I saw him at the lunch counter a while ago. He was talking to Grace. 24:52.000 --> 24:54.000 Shall we go, George? Can you walk? 24:54.000 --> 24:56.000 If I can, Susan, it's through no fault of yours. 24:56.000 --> 25:15.000 Oh, poor, poor George. 25:15.000 --> 25:17.000 Do you see him, George, Virgil? 25:17.000 --> 25:25.000 No, I don't. Oh, yeah, there he is, in that back booth. 25:25.000 --> 25:27.000 Could we speak to you a minute, Virgil? 25:27.000 --> 25:30.000 Oh, Miss Armstrong and Mr. Harvey. 25:30.000 --> 25:32.000 Hello, Virgil. 25:32.000 --> 25:33.000 You know Grace? 25:33.000 --> 25:34.000 Oh, are you Miss Armstrong? 25:34.000 --> 25:35.000 Fine, Grace. 25:35.000 --> 25:37.000 Oh, did something happen to you, Mr. Harvey? 25:37.000 --> 25:40.000 No, no, no. Nothing of the fore. There's nothing at all. 25:40.000 --> 25:42.000 Virgil, about Adelaide. 25:42.000 --> 25:49.000 I want to thank you for that, Miss Armstrong. You see, it was through the story in your paper that I found her. 25:49.000 --> 25:50.000 You, you found her? 25:50.000 --> 25:52.000 Yeah, I certainly did. 25:52.000 --> 25:53.000 Oh, but how? 25:53.000 --> 25:59.000 Well, we just got to talking about the story, that's all. And of course, I recognized her from the picture. 25:59.000 --> 26:01.000 Oh, but did you know she was leaving town? 26:01.000 --> 26:07.000 Leaving town? Well, I don't think so, Mr. Harvey. Are you Grace? 26:07.000 --> 26:08.000 Grace? 26:08.000 --> 26:09.000 Grace? 26:09.000 --> 26:19.000 Oh, tell him, Miss Armstrong, will you tell him that I'm not pretty and I never was? And I'm not at all like the picture he's carried around in his mind for so long. Will you tell him? 26:19.000 --> 26:21.000 Yes, but you are. You're exactly like him. 26:21.000 --> 26:28.000 Oh. I'll leave it up to Miss Armstrong, Mr. Harvey. Isn't this Adelaide? 26:28.000 --> 26:36.000 It certainly is, Virgil. It certainly is. George? 26:36.000 --> 26:53.000 Hmm? Why, yes, yes, you can stop looking, Virgil. You can stop looking right now. You found her. 26:53.000 --> 27:19.000 Get that big OK, that beneficial. Get that big OK for cash today. Just pick up your phone and make your call for cash. Beneficial way, it's the smart way. The right way too. When you want cash, here's the thing to do. 27:19.000 --> 27:26.000 Get that big OK, that beneficial. Get that big OK. 27:26.000 --> 27:54.000 When you want cash to clean up bills, buy things, make home improvements, you name it, just call Beneficial Finance.
