MY MAN GODFREY (Full Movie) - William Powell - Carole Lombard - TCC AI Color

[Music] [Applause] [Applause] [Music] hello Duke oh my can II luck today well I figured out a swell racket and everything was going great until the cops came along too bad it didn't work if them cops would stick to their own racket and leave honest guys alone we'd get somewhere in this country without a lot of this relief and all that stuff well like I wouldn't worry prosperity just around the corner yeah it's been there a long time I wish I knew which corner well Duke I'm gonna turn in bonsoir one for Mike this is the place all right that looks like one of them sitting outside pretty tough joint tomato Larry now talk to the fellow I told you about this place we got here good evening good evening how'd you like to make five dollars huh I didn't quite catch what you said I said how would you like to make five dollars five dollars five dollars uh-huh I don't want to seem inquisitive but what would I have to do for it all you have to do is go to the board or its hotel with me and I'll show you to a few people in then I'll send you right back may I inquire just why you would want to show me two people at the Waldorf Ritz oh you must know it's a game you've probably heard about it it scavenger hunt if I find a forgotten man first I win is that clear yes quite clear shall i wear my tails or come just as I am you can be fresh do you want the five dollars or don't you madam I can't tell you how flattered I am by your very generous offer George however I'm afraid I'll have to take it up with my board of directors don't you touch me I know what my board of directors advise I think you should be spanked George do something you in the habit of hitting ladies maybe I'm gonna habit of hitting gentlemen also that'll interest you what are you going to do in here let's get a policeman oh you hi my reign that was my sister Cornelia pushed in the ice pile how'd you like to have me push Canadia sister into a Nash oh I don't think I'd like well any better get out of here you [ __ ] wait a minute serrano ham sitting what's up dope need some help no they advise that everything under control you a member of this hunting party I was but I'm not now are they all forgotten men too yes I guess they are maybe why that's the funniest thing I couldn't help but laugh I've wanted to do that ever since I was 6 years old you wanted to do what Oh push Cornelia and something a pile of ashes or something you know that was faithful George with that that isn't really his name but we call him that because he gets in everybody's here his father's the broker that's very enlightening good new you thought she was gonna win a new push in a pile of ashes you could follow our intelligent conversation for just a moment I'll try no that's fine you mind telling me just what a scavenger hunt is well a scavenger hunt is exactly like a treasure hunt except in a treasure hunt you try to find something you want and a scavenger hunt you try to find something that nobody wants hmm I could have forgotten man that's right and the one the winds get surprised only there really isn't a prize it's just the honor of winning because all the money goes to charity that is if there's any money left over but then there never is mmm mmm clears the whole matter up beautifully you know I've decided I don't want to play any more games with human beings as I've see it's kind of sordid when you think of it I mean when you think it over yeah I don't know I haven't thought it over yeah I don't like to change the subject would you tell me why you live in a place like this and there's so many other nice places you really want to know well I'm very curious mm-hmm what's because my real estate agent felt that the altitude would be very good for my asthma well my uncle has asthma no well there's a coincidence well I suppose I should be going over shouldn't I the greater policy you won the game I suppose it was Cornelia guarantee she's probably got another forgotten man by now you mean if you took me along with you that you win the game is that the idea well I mind if I got there first but after seeing what you did to Cornelia I'm not saying anything but you'd win if you got back first with me be awfully nice of you but I don't like to ask let's beat Cornelia you wouldn't be asking too much see I've got a sense of curiosity just the same as you have I really like to see just what a scavenger hunt looks like well I told you yes I'm still curious well come on [Music] [Music] look at the [Laughter] [Laughter] [Music] [Applause] [Applause] [Laughter] [Applause] [Applause] are all these people hunters although we work in group summer hunters and summer receivers sounds like a bankruptcy proceeding I never thought of that who receives me well I'll have to thank you to the committee but you don't mind me I can hardly wait wait a minute oh this is Godfrey scorning here back yet Dean Cornelia where did you find him [Applause] please quiet fire miss Bullock has a forgotten man do you mind stepping up on the platform please get right up on the platform gotcha yeah do you mind if I ask you a few questions far away what is your address city dump 32 East River Sutton Place vegetable over there isn't it in spots that's your permanent address well the permanency is rather questionable see the place is being rapidly filled in you mind if I ask you a personal question if it isn't too personal are those whiskers your own no one else is clamouring I must ask that question because one group we're trying to fool the committee the early part of the evening by putting false whiskers on one of their own group may I mean so much pleasure one more question are you wanted by the police oh that's just the trouble nobody wants me oh very good answer nobody want some nobody at all nobody oh that's too bad on the contrary I sometimes find it a great advantage the committee you satisfied miss Irene Bullock wins 20 points for a forgotten man and 50 Poindexter for bringing in the first ball [Applause] [Music] [Applause] my purpose in coming here tonight was twofold firstly I wanted to aid this young lady secondly I was curious to see how a bunch of empty-headed nitwits conducted themselves my curiosity satisfied I assure you it'll be a pleasure for me to go back to a society of really important people I'm terribly sorry that's all right I've never brought you here if I thought they were gonna humiliate you I'm terribly grateful this is the first time I've ever been couldn t did anything you helped me do it that makes me a sort of Cornelia Vita you've done something for me I wish I could do something to you because you've done something for me don't you see no I don't see I could use a job if you've got one lying around loose can you bottle oh yes we're fresh out of Butler's the one we had left this morning I mean they're calling for you in the Jade room don't you want your knife cop I'm gonna keep that Cup I don't want it but you can't stand here talking to this man what more people think I don't care what they think Godfrey's gonna be our Butler he's gonna be whose bad luck he's gonna work for us oh that's ridiculous you don't know anything about him he hasn't any recommendations he asked with herd recommendations and stole all the snow hopewell ever merely a coincidence people who taking stray cats say they make the best pets madam I don't see what cat forgot to do with bachelors she mustn't pay any attention to my doctor she's pretty impulsive I'm not and don't shout at your mother I will check oh oh you mean it's all over oh yes he only shouts when she will well my good man just run along and thank you so much for coming thank you so so much he will not run along I think I'd better right what honey yeah she has another one you're a little late Cornelia I've won the game oh you have now where do I get my five bucks box box will you talk to your sister she want to hire this man as a butler why not he might make a very good Butler I'm sure I'd make a very good Butler and where do I get my five bucks bucks that's what's he talking about what's he talking about my books oh I promised him five dollars well give him the five dollars in the box - and get him out of here before your sister hires him as a chauffeur well I did not have to wait - now to find out this insanity on your father's side of the family come along Cornelia I hope Godfrey that you're very good at shining shoes I think we better drop the whole idea I should say not you're gonna make the best Butler we ever had and and here you'll need some clothes and things you know oh well I I told G's to lay off my other coat you have a wonderful sense of humor thank you well then good night oh just one question why what do you live Oh 10:11 tryst that's funny I never thought of it haha oh you didn't 10:11 Festa almost good night again good night good morning how did you know that's what everyday at this hour you're dropping in and out all the time why is that some get fired some quit is the family that exacting no that nothing may I be frank is that your name well my name is gun free all right be frank you're quite an enthusiast don't you worry about me I'm a seasoned campaigner yeah maybe be friends who I'm friends with all the butler's sit down what's a three-letter seabird with an R in the middle but oh I I don't know you're no help where'd you get the trick sued what's wrong with it well it might look better if you took the rental tag off the code Thanks just the buckler corners here in the house or is that necessary no you won't need any quarters just hang your hat near the door so you can get it quickly on the way out what's that that's the old battle-ax usually rings about this time the old battle-ax mrs. Bullock she's the mother type oh well don't you do anything about it this is the buzzer for the better oh not the first time if she has a hangover which usually has she'll ring again in a minute and no uncertain terms then brother you better grab her to model juice and get going this is your big opportunity shall I take you to her you might as well know the worst I want to warn you she sees Pixies Pixies you know the little man Oh knows what I know how to take care of those are you in here what's that do unto others as you would have others do unto you what do you want to do scorch your windpipe there's nothing like a counter irritants in the morning where do I find her we're gonna go this way it's quicker yepper landing to the lip just what you wish me luck okay is it Molly I'm not Molly I'm not stop jumping up and down so I can see who you are I'm not jumping that's better what's your name Godfrey you someone I know we met last night at the Waldorf Ritz oh yes mrs. Matson's party at the bar oh where are you I'm the forgotten man so many people have such bad memories that's a truth why do they keep saying that st. you know oh yeah why do they you hear it oh yes yes I do no way Oh may I again tell you what where are you what's that Dixie remover oh and you see them - they're all friends yes but you mustn't ever I don't like them but I don't like to see them step down I'll be very careful I wouldn't threaten for the world what am I supposed to do this and they'll do away very quickly very very quickly always send them away quietly is that better yes you're a great he'll go away little man go away sheesh oh but oh you haven't told me who you are I'm Godfrey the forgotten man I'm the new Butler are you that ugly man with a beard the same how are you changed I should never know you thank you you're very comforting I hope I'll see more of you maybe I better not drink any more of this oh you might go away too I put your head and believes at the foot of the stairs you can go out the front way it's closer I think I won the first round you mean you're still working here I haven't heard anything to the contrary well you just got by the cub try the lioness Oh which is she her name's Cornelia she's a sweet tempered little number yes I met her last night you've got a treat coming you never met her in the morning second door [Music] great I lost a second-round opportunity never stops knocking in this house do you want to try again how is she in the morning she's not as violent but she's more insidious no I leave your things right up here so you won't forget them good morning I brought your breakfast are you the new boy don't you remember last night well well what happened to Godfrey I'm god Rhea look so different what happened to those nice whiskers turn around let me look at you you're the cutest thing I've ever seen thank you will there be anything else yes talk to me I like to talk my money when your head is clear especially if you've been somewhere the night before now don't you think it would be better if I talked standing no because if you're uncomfortable are you uncomfortable forget what I have to say you insist but it doesn't seem very good fun for a butler oh you're the first Protege I ever had protege you know like Carlo who is Carla yes mother's protege oh you know it's awfully nice Carlo having a sponsor because then he doesn't have to work and he gets more time for ice practicing but Benny never does then that makes a difference you guys I don't imagine you would play anything Godfrey oh I don't mean games and things like that I mean the piano and things like that well I know it doesn't really make any difference I just saw lighters it's funny how some things make you think of other things you see very peculiar it makes me feel so mature and grownup what does having a protege you're the first one I ever had you know ahead of the others no you're the first one and it's terribly thrilling not only does it occupy my mind but I think it's character-building - mm-hmm just what does a protege have to do you'll just go on but lean and I sponsor you don't you see yeah it's getting Sara it's really not much work it gives you something to think about it's gonna be such fun okay I'm sure it's going to be heaps of fun you see for instance if core need Academy there anything you wouldn't have to do anything about it you see I take care of everything you see I'm your sponsor and I just take a sock heading that'll never be necessary oh I just want to give you the idea that's fine but you see a protege at certain responsibilities also for instance if someone should ring to me now and I didn't answer that would reflect upon you because you're my sponsor don't you see yes I suppose I will I never thought of it you don't know how nice it is having some intelligent person to talk to it's been very enlightening to me too oh I just thought of something else do you know what you are I'm not quite sure you're my responsibility that's very nice see you in church good morning fine morning sir yes don't be in a hurry you see I'm the old-fashioned type and I was also middleweight champion when I was in college I thought you might like to know that before this thing starts well you see sir I'm the new Butler I just served miss Irene her breakfast you always took a change of wardrobe when you serve breakfast oh well I think this young lady can explain she really is the new Butler mr. book I can't imagine how his things got in the hallway well I still don't get it but if you are the new Butler why didn't you say so I'm very sorry sir may I there's a man at the door to see you I think it's another process server another one well Here I am again mr. Bullock was not a little president in the family of the mr. Miskin alias seems he's been pretty gay last night on the way home she busted up a few windows along Fifth Avenue and I'm sorry to give you that but girls will be there's a handsome cab driver waiting to see you in the kitchen what's he want he wants $50 and his horse what horse the one miss Irene rode up the front steps last night where is his horse I haven't got it it's in the library where miss Irene left it well do you begin to get the idea [Music] [Music] come here my man do you like your place here I mean so far as you gone I find it very entertaining yes we are a very entertaining family you really think you're going to like it here well I must admit it's more desirable than living in a packing case on a city dump oh that's where I met you isn't it yes miss oh yes yes I remember now some sort of a game a scavenger hunt I think they called it we needed a forgotten man I asked you to go to the water frits hotel with me and I'm a little bit hazy as to just what happened after that I pushed you into an ash pile oh yes of course you did it was very amusing there were nice clean ashes I'm very sorry miss oh I didn't mind at all it was very amusing have you a handkerchief there's a spot on my shoe would you see what you can do about it I could have you fired you know but I like to see things wrinkled when I get through with you you'll go back to your packing case on the city jump and relish it people don't make a practice of pushing corn in your Bullock into ash piles I'll make your life so me hello Godfrey readings I really I like a new monkey suit thank you for picking it up you know it fits very well for a hand-me-down yes I'm more or less standard miss how do you like my new pajamas I think they're very nice thank you I heard what you said to Godfrey so what so what you leave him alone so who's going to make me leave him alone you don't you'll get a good sock for me Oh the physical type I say goes since when did you start falling in love with Butler's I'm not in love with him he's he's my protege Oh your protege that's why you're picking out his suits for him suppose father hears about this how long do you think I drew or less father isn't going to hear about it you seem terribly sure of everything if father hears about Godfrey he's also gonna hear about you and that sappy college boy I don't know what you're talking about but if father does hear about it I'm likely to do a little stocking myself so Little Red Riding Hood didn't have enough feminine charm to trap a wolf her own image who she falls in love with the butter and lives happily ever after on an ash pile if you know what I mean I know what you mean if you know what I mean may I come in you're in aren't you very interesting book the Greeks of the Middle Ages Irene would like that you love the Middle Ages don't you do my Gaia oh no it's all music isn't it oh you two girls having a pleasant chat Oh a pleasant chat well well well imagine the bullets gathered together all in one room oh well don't forget Carlo I'm not going to forget Carlo don't bother about me I feel like one of the family don't you go away you don't mind if I discuss a few Family Matters do you Carlo no not at all Oh Alexander now you're not going to pick up those sordid business messes again I hope I've just been going over last month's bills and I find that you people have confused me with the Treasury Department oh don't start that again dad I don't mind giving the gum me but I can't do it when my family spend 50% well why should the government get more money than your own family that's what I want to know why should they got him get more than your own flesh and blood well that's just the way they have of doing things ah money money money the Frankenstein monster that destroys Souls we've got to come to an understanding right now either Carlo is or I am and what well one of us has got to and that's all there is to it Alexander you're inebriated you don't know what you're talking about well who would know what they're talking about living with a bunch like this there's one thing I do know what this family needs is discipline I've been a pretty patient man but when people start riding horses up their front steps and parking them in the library that's going a little bit too far horses are you insinuating that I wrote a horse up the front steps last night maybe that wasn't a horse I saw in the library this morning well I'm positive I didn't ride a horse into the library because I didn't have a riding costume on a bridge Irene who rode the horse up the front steps what horse don't play innocent I begged you not to do it I didn't write a horse but if I did riders who broke those windows on Fifth Avenue what would you know what when does it how about that College SEP yeah yeah yeah I don't care who broke the horse but these families got to settle down Oh will you stop bellowing look what you're doing to Carlo could you make these Godfrey I helped oh they must be wonderful I'd like to help sometime if you'll let me I feel honored you might as well face the situation I have lost a lot of money which ones are poison thank you while we're on the subject how about this business of certain people picking up anybody they find on the city dump and dragging them into the house so we know we might all be stabbed in the back some night and Rob who's going to stab who we don't know a thing about certain people someone should speak to Irene about her habit of picking up strays what's a stray you shut up Oh Cornelia I will not shut up my life is precious to me it won't be in a minute no no children come Carlo come and get some nice hors d'oeuvre I think we should get our help from employment agencies I don't know that what I agree with Cornelia whatever are you all talking about Carlo and now you're obsessing Irene don't you remember our breakdown last summer I certainly do that's why I'm not paying any attention to this Godfrey knows I'm not being personal but after all none of us would like to wake up someone stabbed to death your mother saw between Irene and Godfrey he's the first thing she shown any affection for since a Pomeranian died she's not having a spell that's all this nonsense let's get out of here Irene be a good girl sit up and look at our you know know what amuses you come on quick [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Laughter] [Music] why don't you stop imitating a gorilla imitate a man this family doesn't need any stimulant I'll be in my room you can repeat this order in 30 minutes someday I'm going to rid of hunting and I won't miss yes darling she's gone where's God he's right here don't go away Godfrey we'll be late for the concert well get my things I'll be right with you got this right yeah darling Godfrey come over here so I mean can you look at you here Godfrey darling right here look say hello to Irene such you know who you are hello oh he's promised to stay on haven't you Godfrey if I'm wanted of course you're wanted in CID yes go yes darling I'm going take good care of her yes Carlo I'm coming goodbye darling goodbyes I beg your pardon I'm sorry but I didn't quite hear Wow what's the matter handsome did something frighten you what kind of family am i up against well there's some things even I can't answer do they go on this way all the time oh no this is just a quiet evening quiet evening why were you I'd get rid of that lip Rouge it makes you look a little like Cupid you find Godfrey in his room how did you know I want to see Godfrey I don't know it just came over me hmm oh you you can't come in here why not it's our house isn't it after all one room is just like any other Oh besides I want to talk I'm terribly sorry but we can't talk here don't you think it's rather and decent of you to order me out after you kiss me after I kiss you did you say isn't it funny this morning you were sitting on my bed now I'm sitting on yours we all of that startling coincidence you said well here I'll get you another no we have our talk here now that I'm your sponsor if you want a new bed you can have it oh the bed is very comfortable thank you much more so than I am at the moment Oh anytime you're uncomfortable you just let me know well thank you that has never told you about a certain proprieties how you used such lovely big words I like big words what does it mean well I'll try to simplify it hasn't your mother or anyone ever explained to you that some things are proper and some things are not no she hasn't she rambles someone quite a bit but then she never says anything hmm what do you want me to remain on here as Butler don't you oh of course and I want to justify your faith in me by being a very good Butler and in time but filling the void created by the death of your late lamented Pomeranian oh I forgot all about him he had fleas anyway besides you're different you use big words and you're much cuter my k/d was story I'd love it once there was a very sentimental little girl with a very kind heart and she helped a man who was very grateful then she became a nuisance and undid all the fine work she had done this is someone you know her name is Irene Bullock she were a smart little girl she picked out some nice young chap on her own social set and marry him and live happily ever after I never never never entered the butler's room again never well when can we talk when I'm serving breakfast in the morning I can say good morning miss Irene and you can say good morning Godfrey but you must never come into my room again oh you'll be sorry I'm only trying to be [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] oh that's a very pretty to color what's the name of it oh oh that's the name too I thought was just the word I like it because the words are all the same it makes so easy to remember that's probably why the star-spangled banner so confusing nobody seems to know the words except perhaps Godfrey he seems to know everything do you know the word Godfrey the words yes yes the star-spangled banner nobody seems to know the word do you know him Godfrey I suppose I know as many as the average person I feel ashamed in myself I should know them all of course because after all my ancestor came over on a boat oh not for me flower but the built after there what did your ancestors come over on Godfrey as far as I know they've always been here they weren't Indians I hope one can never be sure of one's ancestors you know you have rather high cheekbones yes ma'am thank you ma'am these flowers came for miss Irene where shall I put them well well after there she is now did you notice his cheekbones these flowers just came for you miss where shall I put them what difference does it make where one puts flowers when one's heart is breaking yes miss shall I put them on the piano life is but an empty bubble you don't sound very cheerful for a girl who's giving a tea party why should anyone be cheerful Oh is having giving a tea party you're not invited I'll invite myself let's stick around George sure why not all I have to say is some people will be sorry someday well naturally everybody will be sorry someday for what some people will know for what and then it'll be too late this conversation is very confusing now now Irene you mustn't confuse Carlo he's practicing do you know any good funeral music Carlo shut up are you acting for anybody in particular Godfrey might be interested if he'd only turn around and look oh I remember that pose so well I learned it in dramatic schools number eight isn't it that's number eight all right am i spoiling your act you ask for something of yours someday and I won't be your act okay you suppose miss Irene would like sandwiches served in here or shall I create a sort of buffet where you won't be disturbed Irene what is food how can you eat Philly you want the time to served in here or don't you what difference does it make some people do just as they like with other people's lives and it doesn't seem to make any difference [Laughter] [Music] Oh was it hard I'm in Spain I can't change me so confused Carlo please hi Irene why the shroud listen Daniel just because some people have a million dollars doesn't mean they can put their arms around other people mmm where's the bar don't take her seriously charlie and the servants problem has been bothering her lately no thank you I'm not hungry [Music] put him in Kansas rapidly darling what does it matter how I am the whole thing is only a delusion what things you wouldn't understand well I don't so far I'm famished how about something to eat oh let us come over you beginning to our customers to the family hey wait a minute what's the trouble Godfrey Parke you all know oh do you know God really know him we went to Harvard together I'm afraid you've confused me with someone else sir I'm Smith remember sure you're Smith but we did go to college together or did we imagine a butter with a college education he's not really the butler and a very good you mean this is not a gag just for my benefit mr. gray neglected to tell you that when we were in Harvard together I was his Vallot was he you good servant Tommy excellent what's the idea I'll tell you later mr. gray never complained right now I have very few complaints about Godfrey's work I'll tell you tomorrow's one day off strange you never gave his degree as a reference you see I left mr. gray under very unusual circumstances what circumstances I had rather mr. gray told you about that well jung-gu me come here come here and tell us all about it you know Tommy Godfrey's a pretty mysterious person nobody seems to know anything about him don't go wake up no no don't go away Godfrey you see I didn't want to say anything about this but you see Godfrey had been working for us as a butler n and whatnot and and things been going along very well when when all of a sudden it happened just like that you're sure you want me to tell all this country well you see as I said he'd been working for us for some time when one day he came to me and said mr. gray he said I trust my work has always been satisfactory he said and I said of course I I said I've never had more satisfactory working in all my life and he said thank you mr. gray he was always a very courteous man country Godfrey is still extremely courteous especially in the morning well it's not much of a story really maybe we'd better skip it oh come on Tommy you and finish it you can't stop in the middle well let me see where was I oh you were telling us how very polite Godfrey was yes and that's what I said that Godfrey was still very for life well thank you mrs. Bullock it's a pleasure have you say so father J that's my nature Godfrey I never say anything behind your back that I don't say in public that's what I admire about you Angelica that's nice of you Tommy about the story well anyhow Godfrey came to me and said I trust my work has been satisfactory sir that was about the gist of it wasn't it Godfrey and those may not be my exact words but that was about the gist of it all right from said after that you said he was very satisfactory and you said thank you and then one naturally I had to take an attitude you don't make sense what kind of an attitude well the only kind I could take toward a faithful servant but Godfrey decided in favor of his wife and five children five children five my mind [Music] why didn't you tell me you had five children Oh children of mine have five children so can other people I think Oh God she just got herself engaged may I congratulate you miss Irene I wish you all what happens in the world don't you'll be all right in a minute she's not mad at anybody don't you know women always have their own engagements and other people's weddings oh let me see I knew I want to save myself engaged I don't know man something or other I think he said boys are on the pill in pink money God feel that you and I have a good cry how about lunch burger kill tomorrow yes sir and you prefer soda or ginger ale a both travel car very good sir you're not eating well this morning sir no there's everything business trouble sir what made you ask that so well sir Butler can't help picking up scraps of news shall we say we shan't say anything about it I thought I might be of some help sir I dialed in the market at one time but one dabbler in the family is quite enough very good sir eggs no thank you Godfrey you seem to be a pretty good sword have you noticed anything queer about me lately nothing particularly sir and sometimes wonder whether my whole family's gone mad or whether it's me I know just how you feel sir I felt that way many times since I've been here then why do you stay here I have to you don't it's much more comfortable than living a packing box on a city dump sir besides I'm rather proud of my job here you're proud of being a butler I'm proud of being a good Butler sir and I may add sir a Butler has to be good to hold his job here say who are you I'm just a nobody copy Godfrey Here I am so you've turned up at last a game you think it falling down the kitchen sink sorry I'm late I'm it's hard to make bets when they're full of people wait and you seem to do everything except put up a cat I suppose I do that too only we have no cat the same for me what would you have job is my man make it a rousing old lemonade lemonade you're sure you can handle it oh yes I'm the type looking take it or leave it alone you see now that I'm a working man I have to keep my wits about me I'm being to one of you but he left at all but don't avoid the issue I've been sitting here like a Snoopy old maid with her ears flapping in the breeze waiting to hear the dirt whatever you like to hear well when I wondered what did happen to asylum and see one of the park parks of busting serving hors d'oeuvres I think I'm entitled to a palpable curiosity well I tell you something that you won't understand Tommy you fallen off so many polo ponies it's your brains are scrambled but I still want to know why you're battling when your family's telling everybody you're in South America doing something about rubber or sheep or something family has to say something you save its face you know the parks disgraced very easily I'd like to see their faces when they find out that you're a butler they're not going to find it out all right they're not going to find it out that come to the point well there isn't much of a point you remember that little incident up in Boston you still have that woman on your mind no not anymore but I was pretty bitter at the time so I gave her everything I had and just disappeared you know the parks were never educated to face life we've been puppets ten generations and Tommy it's surprising how fast you can go downhill when you begin to feel sorry for yourself and boy did I feel sorry for myself I wanted down at the East River one night thinking I'd just slide in and get it over with but I met some fellows living there on a city dump there are people who are fighting it out and not complaining I never got as far as the river will you do me a big favor what do you want killed I'll do my own killing go around the corner and telephone this place net for Tommy great when you get him on the way keep him there what's this all about don't ask too many questions okay and so out of the ruins of Godfrey Parke a new edifice has sprung up in the form of Godfrey Smith and I may add the edifice is going to keep on springing you intend to remain about you know I have some other ideas in mind but you wouldn't understand those either so we won't go into that will you do me a favor maybe I have a friend in town a very eminent brain specialist I'd like him to examine your eyes met with examination if you will also that's a bit are you mr. gray here you wanted an assault I'm sorry back in a minute [Music] well the mystery song mystery yes no I know what a butler does not whose day off when you worked for mr. gray with the two of you all what is this chummy you see I worked for mr. gray a long time and we got to be yeah under the name of Smith wasn't it or did I hear him mention the name of Park you may have said that we you take long walks in the park sort of customs oh yes I see well if you can be so chummy with the grease why can't you be chummy with the Bullock's I try to keep my place why are you very attractive you know there's a butler no it's a Smith you're a rotten Butler sorry are we going to be friends I gotta feel it on my day off I should have the privilege of choosing my friends you can't go on like this forever you really like me and you're afraid to admit it aren't you do you want me to tell you what I really think of me please do as Smith or as a button choose your own lip you won't hold it against me did you a day off very well you belong to that unfortunate category that I would call the Park Avenue brat a spoiled child was grown up in ease and luxury as always had her own way and whose misdirected energies are so childish that they hardly deserve a comment even of a butler on the log Thursday thank you very very lovely portrait aya Cornelia what are you doing here Godfrey now we're discussing tomorrow's menu we don't run away I'm an awfully big hurry goodbye now I'll see you down with the ash pile what does she mean by then that's a little joke we have between us oh I see a joking butler what smell of let's double it turn your stomach I think I'll switch my mood and now we're getting someplace waiter another one of these he's not back yet is he not yet would you mind putting these flowers in his room I can't go in there anymore thank you either you won't tell him that for me will you if you don't want me to I don't want him to know Sears Athena do you always saw his buttons on sometimes I'd like to saw his buttons on sometime when they come off I wouldn't mind at all he doesn't lose very many oh he's very tiny this is very daddy what is he doing on his day off he never tells me oh he's probably sitting somewhere with some woman on his left she's the meanest man I know I think he's very mean I suppose he's sitting somewhere with some buddies laughs who doesn't can't afford at all as far as I know maybe his children - there - calling tomorrow may bring sorrow so tonight courage she said and pointed toward the land this mounting wave will roll a short soon and the afternoon that came into a land into which it seemed always afternoon nothing she's been out in the kitchen eating onions I love onions they make me sleepy yes Irene loves onions which is eating onions from the icebox you know sometimes I wonder if my children are all there and like a downward smoke the slender stream along the cliffs to fall and pause and for dead sea I thought I told you to send that gray satin evening dress to the cleaner grayza why can't you do as you're told this pleasure somebody's be murder to something imagine a man drowning his wife and father maybe it's the only way you could get her to take a bath well if anyone ever draw my baby would there be anything else relevant hello mom or anything so I don't think how could one do anything else I beg your pardon I thought you were miss Cornelia you thought I was Connie yeah I hope you'll forgive me madam but you seem to be looking younger every day if I may say so you've certainly made thank you very much Godfrey [Music] did you send Godfrey upstairs for anything she died no I'm quite sure I didn't why I just wondered I was in the carry bar today that face is getting all rundown they're catering to a very low class of people nobody cares if I stab myself to death what's the matter with you I mean I don't mind dying if other people don't she's in love I would you heard it's probably her engagement you know seven of my girlfriends acted just like that there's something to do with your chemistry I don't know what's the matter with Godfrey he'd been acting so peculiar lately but he did pay me a nice compliment he's always paying other people compliments darling why don't you eat something look at Carlo he's had two helpings of everything not to be strong enough when it's only you have that concert you can't rush genius wait a minute mother come here dad something terrible's happened what is it what's happened new yours why did a sheet that's going to the living room we won't be overheard whatever come over you what is it are you ill come come sit down here let me get you an aspirin or something I'm all right what is it what's troubling you do you remember the pearl necklace I got for my birthday last you well yeah what about it it's disappeared maybe some stolen will you fill your gob full of chicken and keep out of this discussion I was only trying to help we don't need your help when did you find out about this I put it on my dressing table this afternoon I went upstairs just now that was cold my mind is carpets a lot of money I'll say it did please never mind dad I've already called them Oh mm-hmm well what I want to know is when did you miss the pearls during dinner I went to my room and they were gone she probably lost them she's always leaving them around nobody asked you anything lady if you rude to my daughter you money please take your hat off when we're on criminal cases lady we keep both hands-free to imply that I'm a criminal all I know is that it's an inside job who's that it's mother's protege no wisecracks is that your son that say listen I've made a lot of mistakes in my life but I'll be hanging about leading to that call no he wouldn't have time to steal it he's always too busy eating for you yes where's Godfrey you're not feeling very well who are you staring at just a minute sister if I thought that were true I just sold my parents so you got a patient for jewelry yeah yes I got a passion for sucking cops where are they most of them are in cemeteries where's the necklace baby I swallowed it you love to kiss Molly she's been with us for a long time well that in itself is some recommendation Thank You Molly welcome you don't mind a fact but I'll turn down the bed who is this Godfrey he's the best Butler we ever had oh I'm sure Godfrey didn't take them although we don't know much about him Godfrey wouldn't touch those old pros of yours with a fork yes the minute what do you mean you don't know much about well you see we didn't get him from an employment agency my sister found him on a city dump oh I see are you accusing Godfrey I'm not accusing anyone I only want my necklace oh so silly to think of Godfrey wearing a pearl necklace where is this Butler he's probably in his room where's that it's back this way [Music] don't men where are they well that's what I said where where oh where is my little dog come on snap out of it I suppose you noticed he's been drinking he has not been drinking well I don't blame you if he has this family's probably got to him too do you mind if we search your room Godfrey somebody lost seems to be a pearl necklace missing do you know anything about it Oh too bad that's too bad for you I wouldn't be so cocksure of everything this is a serious matter well the girls couldn't just get up and walk away she probably threw the model the taxi like she did last summer just look under the rug maybe that's where I put it we'll do the searching Godfrey old boy pleasure I can imagine the woman's feelings but what would Godfrey do with them look under the mattress yes there's a dandy place well they're not here they must be there just a minute lady what makes you so sure they ought to be under the mattress why I read that that's where people put things when they steal them oh yeah say what are you up to I'd like to talk to you boys outside for just a minute if you don't mind I'm terribly sorry Godfrey we're all cannabis sorry Godfrey come Cornelia young guys y'all y'all I'm terribly sorry boys apologize to my family they're all slightly it's terrible yeah we sort of got an idea what you're up against for now and I can let the whole matter drop she probably mislaid her necklace as a matter of fact I'm not certainly she ever had one there's something phony about the whole thing that's all a mistake and if you don't mind I'd like to send a little check around tomorrow to the pension fund ok mr. Bullock thanks very much your lady good night the whole thing's forgotten good night boys now just what have you got to say for yourself aren't they going to do anything about it no and it's probably a good thing for you that they're not and there's something else I want to tell you if you don't find your necklace the joke's on you because it's not insured [Music] [Music] [Applause] tell him you're harboring a village of Forgotten men how do you like it well I don't know but what I prefer Newport matter of choice unfortunately these men have no choice come on I still prefer Newport what is that delightful aroma that's all man River get used to it after a while do you mean to say that people really live in this place Butler Godfrey Smith where are the ashes of Godfrey perk scattered to the winds well I am Ike I'm straight leave mr. Greiner supplied with the grey for my wet fall and washing out my lingerie that's okay hey Brown look who's here I'm up well first my false teeth say thanks for the beans Duke they got here just in time Oh Duke himself the piece was marvelous thanks we heard everything but the cans don't thank me thank mr. gray he's got a corner on the bean market hey is that the same corner that prosperity's just around no that's another one hello I meet mr. gray mr. Bellinger you look as though you had a job - what is this an epidemic hey Mike okay Duke we got it run along this is moving day you've gotta help some of the boys move their shacks the dump trucks are crowding in on us a little we ought to be in the river by early spring what we might be able to float by that time see you gentle right I think a little bundle of wood under his arm is Bellinger that second national his bank fail he gave up everything he had so that his depositors wouldn't suffer not really really you see Tommy they're two kinds of people those who fight the idea being pushed in the river and the other kind well after all things have always been this way for some people these men are not your responsibility the different ways of having fun you have a peculiar sense of humor oh here we have some very fashionable apartment houses over there is a very swanky nightclub while down here men star for one of the job how's that strike you a sense of you what's all this leading to Tommy there's a very peculiar mental process called thinking you wouldn't know much about that but when I was living here I did a lot of it one thing I discovered was that the only difference between a derelict and a man is a job sit down over here and rest your weary bones let me tell you why I wanted to talk to you about well I'll listen but I still think that you belong in a psychopathic ward you may be right but let me tell you my plan and listen with both ears I have an idea [Music] did you and I are gonna have a good time while you were in Europe Oh as good a time as anyone could have a fire ring you should be more civil to Carlo why I don't mind if the French say cherchez La Femme such a clever answer for everything some coffee no thank you didn't need any dinner right there you had plenty I can't say anything you never do oh darling what's come over you we spend good money to send you abroad for gettin engagement and you're worse off than when you left her liver is probably upset you let's take a live appeal they don't want a liver pills you must get so upset about a broken engagement you've broken many before and you've never acted this way it isn't their broken engagement she's upset because Godfrey didn't fall down in a faith when we got in today why did he God recall in the faith he didn't make enough fuss over homecoming to suitors oh well Godfrey's not the fasting kind Oh Godfrey I was just telling my daughter that you miss them both pretty much while they were away oh yes I did very much indeed we missed you too Godfrey didn't I read yes thank you I missed you also because then it makes it so nice when they get together again you do have a way with you Godfrey you really do you know there's no use denying the fact that Godfrey has away with him well we must be running on Cornelia cheer her up like a deer I'm a cinch do you feel better now that you know Godfrey missed us you missed me more than he did you I could tell by the Leitner's off why don't you throw yourself in the man's arms and get it over with oh you can't rush a man like Godfrey you're getting pretty old you know it's your last chance to get a husband he's really in love with me he's just hard to break down that's all I could break him down in no time at all he wouldn't have anything to do with you how do you know because he wouldn't don't you try anything I'm not saying I will I'm not saying I won't come to think of it Godfrey and I have a little unfinished business well you better leave it unfinished unless you want to be wearing a lamp for a hat did you mean it when you said you miss man oh yes of course I did I mean did you miss Connie and me I just mean well I miss both of you I guess not just me oh I may have missed you a little more than I did Cornelia what well I'm glad because if you miss going anymore you'd probably miss me less that sounds very logical I'm not trying to look cute Molly has a cold and I'm doubling for what's funny about that she hasn't got a cold no no she got the same thing I've got on you no well don't you talk about things like that so I won't be could you lose your temper I'm not seriously will you let me do something if I ask you what do you want to do wipe oh all right you can tell me all about your trip oh you won't get mad why should I every place are white everybody was going through everything I don't want to seem dull but I do seem to have a little trouble following you at times well for instance when I go into a restaurant in Paris or anyplace close my eyes I'd say the waiters Godfrey I'd am home well he's saving me dinner made everything taste me why haven't you any strings look afraid I haven't and when I get in the cab the driver was Godfrey let's say this is his chariot he's taking me up to the clouds it was cast well Paul you come down out of the mountains tell me about your trip well we went to Venice and why I went for a ride one of those robot that the man pushes with a stick not a matador that was in Spain but something like a matador do you by any chance mean a gondolier that was the name of the boat and the man that pushed it saying it was a beautiful song I didn't understand it but it was beautiful I see so you close your eyes and the man was gun free it was wonderful I didn't even mind the smell that is very convenient to take a trip abroad without leaving the kitchen oh you wish I had a sense of you but I never can think of the right thing to say girl everybody's going home you mind if I talk a little bit while you were catch your breath I'd love it while you go away I've been doing some things also I've been trying to do things that I or make you proud of me well I was proud of good to fire whatever yes but I mean prouder still you see you helped me to find myself and I'm very grateful you'd make a wonderful husband I'm afraid not you see I know how you feel about things how well you're grateful to me because I help you to beat camellia and I'm grateful to you because you helped me to beat life but that doesn't mean that we have to fall in love well if you don't want to but I'd make a wonderful wife not for me I'm afraid see I like you very much I had a very bitter experience but I won't bore you with that well maybe she wasn't in love with you oh maybe not however that's beside the point you and I are friends I feel a certain responsibility to you that's why I wanted to tell you first tell me what well I thought it was about time that I was moving on no please Oh cry problems that's fine after all I'm your Protege you want me to improve myself don't you yes you don't want anyone being just a butler all my life do you I want you to be anything you want to be well that's very sweet Oh pretty soon but I'll call you up every now and then and your long chat I'll tell you I'm getting on or we love lots of are you boy back to her oh she was just a fabrication oh then you weren't married - no she was just a product of Tommy Grey's imagination No hold on I couldn't have been five children well naturally that makes a difference did you ring this you needn't be so formal when we're alone shouldn't that rather increase a butler's formality but you're not a butler I'm sorry I disappointed you might drop that superior attitude for a moment there's a little matter I've wanted to talk over with you for quite a while called the mystery of Milady's necklace or what happened to the pearls pearl necklace oh you mean the one that disappeared last fall the same I didn't have a turn up oh yes it turned up but not in my possession I know the first part of the story but I wondered what you might know about the second part I can't imagine I know another story that might interest you too I met some people on the boat coming over a Boston family quite distinguished then you a great deal about a family called the Parkes the or Mayflower cried very Uppercross to mind you never been a breath of scandal connected with the family it would be an awful shame to see them made the laughingstock of Boston wouldn't I should hate to see anyone made a laughingstock at any place I'll let you and I take a long taxi ride out van Cortland way perhaps we could exchange secrets is that a command as you like I'll be waiting around the corner which corner this one or that one this corner it's impossible to exchange intimate secrets here the traffic's almost as heavy as it is at the Grand Central Station don't forget darling 15 minutes you can't go with Cornelia but I didn't say I was going anyplace with Miss Cornelia I know what you will she always gets her own way she makes everybody do just as she like why should you care whether I meet her or not I do care that's why it's good me as the one who doesn't care but I think I should decide those things for myself Oh what does he hear you you you you can't do that please snap out of it this is the craziest family house he here stop the Stan says you hear if you're faking one of your spell's to keep me from eating Cornelia you're not on track you hear do you hear smelling salt are you feeling better no just a minute Godfrey knows how to take care of little Irene yes indeed just lie there quietly God everything Godfrey knows just how to take care of these nasty old things that's the girl come right up here there you are Godfrey will soon fix Irene yes indeed just leave everything to Godfrey Godfrey will take care of everything just sit right down there like a good girl you had [Music] aleksander something terrible's happened what godfrey pushed I mean into cold shower what's terrible about besides she's in love with already thinks he's I can't make him to tell on the hoof I can't make anything out of what you're saying the only thing to do was send it back where he came from he never should have come here in the first place how imagine falling another buck sorry for anyone feel sorry I forgot please tell me sander me and stop fluttering come to rest I've got something more important I want to talk about don't tell me you can't talk about those sordid money matters yes I am but before I start I'm going to have a little talk with Karl how are you going to do Alexander very private you don't mind if we have a little chat Carlo or what I said goodbye did it go yes you left there I lived in the side window where's he going I don't know but he won't be back now you sit down you're just in time to sit down and do some listening you want God for the lessons yes I want God to listen this concerns him too you might as well all know point blank we're about broker well we've got this house a few odds and ends and that's about all not only that I have lost all of my stock on a Bullock enterprises and I've borrowed some of the stockholders money trying to recoup my losses I don't know where I'm gonna end up maybe in jail but if I do end up in jail it'll be the first piece I've had in 20 years and I don't want any of you know chortle about Godfrey because you may all end up on the city dump before you through what are we going to do may i intrude sir I'm afraid things are not as bad as you make out what he little not it well sir I've known for a long time that the Bullock interests were in rather a bad way I offered to help you once but you declined that help so I took the liberty of dabbling in the MA my own accounts yes sir that says that's most of your stock I knew it has been dumped on the market so I sold short I don't understand who sold short you mean they're judgments under way wait a minute you mean that you've been making money while I was losing it why did it in your interest sir the stock has been endorsed over you I don't understand you did this for me well sir there comes a turning point in every man's life a time when he needs help it happened to me also and this family helped me I hope I repaid my debt and I may add some of the money went into a project of my own I hope you won't mind sir do you me that you did all that on one hundred and fifty dollars a month Oh well hardly you see with the aid of Tommy gray I was able to transmute a certain trinket into gold I then enter stock and then back into pearls again thank you dear lady for the use of this trinket Oh Godfrey then you did steal them after all well I perhaps Miss Cornelia had better explain that you win what is this all about anyway I put the pearls under Godfrey's mattress thank you Miss Cornelia I wanted you to say that but why you wouldn't understand mother here Godfrey these are rightfully yours Oh No thank you I repaid my debt and I'm grateful to all of you if anyone's indebted we are after the way some of us have treated you I've been repaid in many ways I learned patience for mr. Bullock I found mrs. Bullock at all times shall we say amusing oh that's very complimentary of you Godfrey and don't forget but you said I looked as young as Cornelia what good did you find in me if any a great deal you taught me the fallacy of false pride you taught me humility I don't understand you miss Cornelia that have been other spoiled children in the world I happen to be one of them myself you're a high-spirited girl I can only hope that you use those high spirits in a more constructive way and so good day you know I hate to see Godfrey go he's the only basher we ever had Oh money you've told me to leave my hat near the door remember I hate to see you leave go 300 Molly you've been swell house seem empty well I guess the best friends after party will you say goodbye to miss Irina for me I don't think I can go through that ordeal right now yes sweet Molly goodbye what is it what's the matter with Cornelia what's the matter with everybody mother what's the trouble he's gone who's gone Godfrey Oh [Music] [Applause] [Music] come on like say business looks pretty good tonight I'll say it is me a Courtney's here tonight with a big party I'll have one of the boys bring these down Duke [Music] Bob we can't complain about this wait what is here tonight yes I heard big stuff yeah this is all Greek to me here's our wandering Butler now explain it to him hello father I've got an estimate from the contractor on your housing plan for the winter yes he figures he can partition offer our present billings into compartments take care of at least 50 people it'll cost fifty eight hundred dollars but that includes steam he forgotten men with steam sounds like something ought to be on the menu I'll talk with you about it later I say I've still got an interest in this company when you start being debited well we're giving food and shelter to 50 people in the winter and giving them employment in the summer what more do you want the way of dividends you're the most arbitrary butter I've ever met ex Butler fired I quit I felt that foolish feeling coming on again you mean Irene what do you know about that well nobody knows anything about her love except all of upper New York and lower Manhattan guess I could have just some time why don't you marry the girl No thank you I've had enough of matrimony well what's wrong with Butler's lots of society goes run away with their chauffeurs never mind about that don't you write me out a check five thousand dollars for what and you dot perhaps we'll get some of the yucking trade well how about the airplane lender you thought of that [Music] hey mister what happened that city dump that was here well this is dead but most of its been filled in forgotten men oh we got most of the mountain time don't be fresh where's Godfrey you mean mr.
