want to help him help him ruin his life that's his life Edith and have we no responsibilities as his parents yes we're responsible all right and that's what makes it so tough to decide one thing is certain he's got to go through college he can't afford to miss out on that afterwards we'll see it's time enough then to go to Juilliard if if he still wants to jazz pianist what an ambition making the Ambitions what were you and Mike's later discussing at the party he asked me to have lunch tomorrow he did he's guessed anything maybe now I've got to decide whether to break the data or keep it oh keep it get right down to it I'm no politician neither was Wendell Wilkie a year ago a year from now he may be president of the United States in four years you could be the one wait a minute this is just the way we planned it now the professionals are getting interested that's what worries me why should it you need the Mike's letter isn't they need you you want me to look at this I think I see twenty thousand dollars you want me to put this in my pocket spider afraid there's a dictograph in this office I take it this isn't just your usual campaign contribution Mike you haven't picked the

if you're sedan gentlemen I think we're ready to begin Joel Mr Chapin in this room we're all rails we don't kid ourselves we don't kid each other I don't exaggerate when I tell you that in this election we could lose this state New Jersey Pennsylvania the whole Eastern seaboard I think I can trust you not to repeat that nothing said in this room is for repetition we understand now Mr Chapin the party is deeply grateful for your generous your extremely generous contribution but please ask yourself can we afford to gamble this year on a man who was not a proven vote getter or forgive me for saying this on a man who has had an unhappy occurrence in his family that might become a public scandal at any time well that's our question and we're leaving the answer up to you of course you don't have to give it to us right now we can wait gentlemen I withdraw I told him Joe I told them class would tell what how right in the Chairman's lap it was a good punch reminded me of the old days in the coal lines after he'd quit if we're talking about Job Chapin you don't think he'd hang around or he wasn't wanted a gentleman I withdraw that's Joe Chapin in three words exactly where do you think he is now where I'd be in his place off somewhere treating my wounds with alcohol eat it don't leave me alone I'll leave you alone go easy out of me just when he comes back he's got nothing left now except you get out foreign [Music] oh pardon me where's the party what party well they said there was a party in 3 15. oh listen 2 15. you've got the wrong floor my mistake say what you doing

Salesman aren't you oh yeah yes I'm a Salesman at least I was still a few hours ago I just quit well what were you selling myself [Laughter] why is there any law against selling yourself now look I didn't mean to imply anything like that I'm very sorry I just meant I was trying to get a job and it fell through fell through and how say you broke or something no not in that sense of the word no well then you got nothing to worry about big strong handsome man like you I'm Stella it's your name honey sure what's my name my name is chump Chop Chop Joseph B chump now you're kidding again you know what a chump is don't you he is someone who thinks he can get anything he wants by reaching out and grabbing him just like that now that's all right for a kid but when a man of 50 does it he is a chump and a useless chump you're hurting my arm sorry I I frequently hurt people without meaning too it's my specialty you think you can buy anything you want all you have to do is put down the money and it's yours like like dropping a nickel on a pile of newspapers and walking off with a paper you want you think everything's for sale everything in the world your daughter's husband the highest office in the land everything all you need is a nickel I'm making a funny joke why don't you laugh yeah well it's been nice now and you missed it real nice don't go I'm enjoying our conservation our conversation well you see I promised these gentlemen that I'd show up at this I'm sorry my dear I've been most inconsiderate here wait a minute yeah for your time and the pleasure of your company what what this is the exactly you're spending on your heart's desire buy yourself some happiness gee thanks a lot Mr jump [Music] where have you been hotel in town I got drunk never occurred to you to let me know where you were it occurred to me no yep oh did I have a woman with me as a matter of fact I did yeah I thought so no no it is she just happened to walk in by mistake I gave her a drink and sent her away I can just picture that the way I was feeling I I just wanted to be alone I I remember one time you were angry with me we were in New York a little long ago 15 that long yes I guess it was you stayed overnight in New York remember that without me I remember it very well that time you wanted to be by yourself and this time I wanted to be by myself you're lying I never asked you what you did maybe you should have asked me what are you trying to say Edith have I aroused your curiosity something anyway you've always been so smuggly complacent about me I don't call it being smugly complacent I call it trusting you I always have and I still do and it will be Unthinkable for me to have anything to do with another man yes I guess it would why yes I'd say that why why because you're not that kind of a person but you have good reason to know that I'm not a code woman and wouldn't take some of the wind out of your cells to hear that somebody else knows that too are you trying to say that you've had affairs with other men yes that time in New York he did why did you decide to tell me this now just at this moment because you let those politicians walk all over you and because just at this moment I despise you enough to tell you what I really think of you I've wasted my life I've wasted my life on a failure you're right Edith but you don't know why I'm a failure you'll never understand that what are you talking about a damn fool who never until this minute learned what was important in life and what wasn't I wouldn't have made much of a president but I could have at least been a good father that's where I failed with Joby and with Anne above all with Anne if only I well it's too late now there's nothing left of that and long ago I guess I even failed with you or you wouldn't have done what you did oh and I suppose that you're going to hold it against me for the rest of my life no Edith there'll be no reprisals whether we like it or not we are both getting old and I'm going to bed good night Edith thank you Carl foreign yes Billy how long has Joe been taking two double martinis before lunch well Joe's had a pretty tough year but with his son then his daughter and now this political thing one knockout punch after another and another one is sort of a sneak rabbit punch getting to be 50. you're not implying it at 50. Joe's life is over oh it's foolish to say that a man's life is over while he has anything in him to respond to New Life where's that door right here and she's working in a bookstore in New York are you miss her he misses her like the very devil you know someone from the farm has to go to New York next week Maybe [Music] first scattered returns from a few Precinct to New Hampshire give will be Republican 168 votes Roosevelt Democrat 107th votes we repeat that these are scattered [Music] foreign Chapin Ann's gone out she won't be back till late well I suppose I should have called first I'm sorry I Disturbed you would you like to leave a message I thought I knew all lands friends I'm her father would you like to commend Mr Chapin thank you I'm Kate Drummond I know Ann wrote us about you may I offer you a drink you probably have an engagement no I was just going to fix myself some dinner and curl up with a bad book I'm having Scotch God's just fine I suppose you know your father and I were classmates at Yale yes how is Father Drummond did you know that was his nickname oh yes but I never knew why we thought he looked like a priest I must say he didn't behave like one soda please he refers to you as slats slats but that was a few years ago would you sit down [Music] I'm awfully pleased that you a man have become friends we were never formally introduced you know we went over a cup of coffee at the Art Club a couple of career girls on the loose I'm a photographic model I think I've seen you with magazine covers I've made a few Miss Drummond now that I'm here I would like to pump you a little about Anne if I may or you can try nothing too awkward I hope does she confide in you I know about her marriage if that's what you mean thanks you've saved me a lot of devious questioning no doubt you have some preconceived ideas about me and my wife yes wait till you have children you'll justify a lot of selfish acts on the ground that you are acting in their best interest probably and then you'll have to live with it I have to live with the realization that I've destroyed the happiness of the one human being I ever loved without reservation without limit don't you take all the blame Mr Chapin at least half of it belongs to Mrs Chapin whoever's responsible it goes without saying I want Anne to be happy is she that is too loving to be happy without Somebody to Love does that answer your question Mr Chapin the one you didn't ask no she isn't in love with anybody not a bit hoping it will so you can get her off your conscience I'd want her to be happy even if she
