You and father dont have to worry about the money. Ive been saving up for this for months. Sure. [kathy] well he is, i heard him talking talking to daddy out in the garage.

Oh, come on, bud. He told me hes only doing this for a few of his friends. [bud] Bill Shepherd loud car honk works at the gas station, hes buying some. And mr.

You only make 15 a week at the gas station. Okay, whats two times 15 . Thats 30 right there. And Bill Shepherds remodeling the gas station, so i know i can make another 20 in overtime. Dont you think youre just throwing the money away . Throwing it away . Mother, did people throw money away when they bought stock in the first telephone company, huh . Or the first railroad, or the first oil well . No, they made millions thump audience laughs yes, but this isnt the first Copper Company. But its the first stock in this company and its gonna go sky high , its got to. Really bud, if this stock were any good do you think theyd be out selling it to boys in gas stations . Well, im not a boy in a gas station. audience laughs see, thats the trouble. All you think im still a goofy kid with no sense at all. I know what im doing. [kathy] hi, daddy [jim] hello, kitten. Youre just in time, were going to have a fashion show. [margaret] hello, dear. Whats this fashion show about, betty buying more dresses .

Jebsen of the fashion [kathy] hurry [margaret] center today, she said [jim] all right. [margaret] there was no hurry. [kathy] betty, come on, were all ready [bettty] be right down.

[margaret] clapping yay [jim] bravo shes wearing a delightful little number, very popular around spring for this year. Very smart, dont you think . [jim] pretty good, yeah. I vote for that one this is an important decision. Its going to take 45 of my hardearned dollars, practically all i have. Well, whats with you, mr. Wall street . You will notice that i am perfectlz calm. No visible signs of youthful enthusiasm. audience laughs in spite of the fact that i bring news of a most startling and joyous nature. What did he say . Whats the news, tell us. Mr. Burdick dropped by the gas station this afternoon on his way up to the mine. Do you know what blue hill copper is selling for today . Exactly two weeks after i bought it for one dollar a share . Three dollars a share. [betty] three dollars . Your brainless, impractical, immature brother with his silly stock has made himself, in two weeks, exactly 100. I told you he was gonna be rich wow, thats wonderful, bud. Youre pretty excited arent you, son . Well, havent i a right to be . All you thought buying this stock was a real hairbrained idea. Well, are you willing to admit now that i know what im doing . That im a grown up, adult human being . [jim] i think youve made your point, bud. Now, as one adult human being to another, may i make a suggestion . Sell the stock. Sell it . You know the old saying, a bird in the hand. Take your hundred dollars and put it in the bank. But, blue hill copper is just getting started. It might go to a hundred. Remember you never go broke making a profit,so why gamble . Im not gambling, the stock is doing just what mr. Burdick said it would and its gonna go higher. Bud, will you take my advice . But, dad. As a favor to me, go down to the Company Office right now and cash in your stock. Then on your way home stop at the bank, and deposit the money in your savings account. What if next week it goes to 20 . Then you can say, i told you so. But, in the meantime youll still have your hundred dollars in the bank. Will you do it . For me . Okay. But, i think its a big mistake. [man] looking for somebody . [bud] yeah, is this the office of the blue hill Copper Company . Used to be, they moved out last night owing three months rent. Didnt pay the phone bill, didnt pay the light bill. Didnt even pay for this furniture. Want some stock, kid . Here, have a few thousand shares. laughs this is dress number three. Now i want you to be absolutely impartial in your selection, but i think this one is terrific all those in favor of this one . [margaret] aye. [jim] aye. Opposed . All right, its moved and carried maybe you should have a little mink on it, now that you have a wealthy brother. No, im gonna go right on being the same sweet, simple girl i was when he was poor. Well, theres that high financing bud anderson. Lets see the money, bud. [jim] wait a minute, bud. Has something gone wrong . Yeah, i guess you could say that. Well, dont stand there looking like the picture of doom. What is it . Is it something youd rather not tell us . Im not afraid to tell ya. That stock i bought, i guessed wrong. Im wiped out, so tough luck. Im sorry, son. I goofed and ill take the consequences. I dont need anybody to hold my hand. And about the money, dad, youll get it right on the day, dont worry. Im not worrying, bud. Well, dont. Say, eddie, remember that stuff you were gonna buy from me, the radio,and the tennis racket, and all . Well, ill make you a deal.

And, i know everything and nobody can tell me anything. Go ahead, enjoy yourself. Thats not what i came up for. Well, i dont want anybody feeling sorry for me, either. Look, i didnt come up here to gloat, did it ever occur to you that i might want to help simply because youre my brother, and because im sure that if i were in trouble, youd do the same for me. gentle music i appreciate it, but i cant take any help, not from you or anybody.

Hes practically got us on the boat right now. I know, were having the same problem with kathy. Last night toby even got out a little box and started packing his things. Kathy was running around here in a grass skirt. And the other one is [margaret] thats strange, well maybe betty put it some place for safekeeping. All i can do now is to wait until she comes home from school and ask her. Im sorry. Oh, thats all right. I wouldnt even bother if it wasnt for the kids. [margaret] i hate to have you make another trip, but could you come back late this afternoon. Of course, it would be too late to mail it in, but you could take it straight to the chamber of commerce.

I dont believe i know him. Hes in my class at school. Oh. Hello. Zelda . This is harold baxter. Hello, harold. The reason i called you is. I mean, you know that party our class is having at School Tomorrow afternoon . Yes, i know. Well, you remember miss tilcy wrote all the girls names on slips of paper, and the boys drew the names to see who they were to take to the party . Yes. Well. I drew you. Honestly . Well. How nice for me. Yes. Im holding it in my hand right now. It has your name and address and phone number. Im looking forward to the party, arent you . Yes. Ill see you tomorrow. Goodbye, zelda. Zelda. Oh. Still trying to get the right time . Mmhmm. Oh, boy. We sure live a splitsecond life in this house, dont we . Huh . I was just in your room, harold, and i noticed that something was missing. Oh, no. No. Theres nothing missing. What about that football i gave you . It aint on your dresser where you usually keep it. It isnt . And i looked every place. I better go look. No, i already looked. Thats a professional football, just like the bulldogs use. And with those signatures i got from the bulldogs on it, it ought to be worth five or six dollars in the open market. And if the bulldogs ever win a game, itll be worth even more. Now, where is it . I lost it. Oh, come on. You cant lose anything as big as a football, unless you booted it through somebodys window. Is that what you did . No. I. I. Lost it over in the park. Oh, so thats why youre in here telephoning for the time instead of over there looking for it. Well, im gonna go over there and look, and if i dont find it, believe me, its gonna be the last Christmas Present you ever get from me. Zelda. Boy come on youre late for work.

Youre right. Shes walking as though shes going to the gallows. Hazel, what on earth. Well, you look like the expression on your face. No, im all right. Well, somethings wrong. Its harold. He isnt hurt . Ive lost him. What about harold . Where . Hes going to a party tomorrow afternoon. A party . Yeah. Hes going with a girl named zelda. I know. Its a class party at school. You knew . Yes. He told me. He told you and he never told me. You see . Ive lost him. Hazel, he didnt tell me either, but im not going to start blubbering about it. Im sorry, darling. I forgot to tell you. Its a class party. The teacher wrote the girls names on a slip of paper, and the boys drew them out of a hat to see who would take whom. Thats sensible. That way no girl gets slighted. Oh, you dont know the half of it. Harold didnt draw zeldas name. His friend did. And he traded the autographed football i gave him for christmas for zeldas name. My own Christmas Present. Dont you understand . Harolds interested in girls. Well, what did you expect him to get interested in . Hemsnitching . Soon hell be getting married, and ill be babying harold jr. , and then ill lose him, and then itll be the same with harold iii and harold iv and harold v. Oh, how time flies. Already i have greatgrandchildren. Hazel, harold loves you just as much. [sniffling] oh, thats all right, missy. Im all right now. Of course you are. Hazel, he hasnt changed that much. You dont grow into a man overnight. Lets just say that he has started moving in that direction. Yes. I just got to get the right attitude. I just should not try to hold on to him. Thats right. Just let nature take its course. Well, within reason. His father intends to keep his eye on nature. Hes getting to be a young man now, maybe hell grow into a wonderful, mature man like his father. Thank you, hazel. Hey, dad dad yes, son . How much money do i have in my savings account . Well, offhand, i dont know. Id have to check your passbook. Why . Well, id like to draw out enough money to buy a corsage for a girl who likes violets. [sobs] ill get your corsage, harold. Its in the refrigerator. Ill bet youre the most considerate boy in your class. I try to be thoughtful of other people. Well, you aint very thoughtful if you think im gonna swallow that. But i aint gonna kid you, sport. I know. Youre growing up now. Its only natural you wanna take a girl to a party. Here you are. Youre all set. Now ill see if your fathers ready to go. Hes going along . Oh, no, harold. But he has to deliver some contracts to a client, and he has to pass the school anyway, so hell drive you and your friend there. But he doesnt have to, mother. I mean, i know how busy he is. Oh, hes not too busy for you, harold. Whatd you wanna do, take a taxicab . No, but zelda and i could walk. Walk . Walk a girl to a party . Barney tried that with me once. Just once. And i aint been out with him since. Boy, walking a girl to a party is one way to make a smash hit with her, i dont think. Dad yes, son . Oh, youre all ready to go. Good. You dont have to drive us to the school. Its only a few blocks. We can walk. Oh, thats all right, son. Im glad to do it. [phone rings] ill get it dad . Just a second, son. This is probably my client calling me. Hello. Hello, mr. Morgan. And ready for your signature. As a matter of fact, i was just ready to leave the house and bring them to you. Fine. Ill see you in a few minutes. Goodbye. Harold, well have to hurry harold. Harold ill never forget the first party i went to when i was darling, ill have to leave now. Oh, i wanted to tell Harold Harold has gone. Huh . But i thought you were going to drive him, george. I was, but i just got a call from my client, and i guess harold thought it was gonna be one of those longwinded conversations. So he went on. But i told him darling, i have to get these papers to my client. Bye. Bye. Hazel. Huh . Do you know where this zelda girl lives . Sure. She lives right across the park. Harolds got her address on that little slip of paper. Well, he cant have gone too far. I cant. Im expecting a woman any minute to discuss some decoration ideas. Could you drive him . Oh, could i . Harold, i think theyre absolutely beautiful. So do i. I mean, i knew theyd look beautiful. Violets are my favorite flowers, too. They are . Mmhmm. Thats very interesting. Most boys would say roses are their favorite flower. They hear everybody else say roses are beautiful, so they say roses, too. They dont think for themselves. They sure dont. You know, harold, youre not like all the other boys. Im not . You dont roughhouse. The others act like such children. Yes, isnt it disgusting . Im hazel burke. Im the housekeeper for the baxters. I raised harold ever since he was a pup. How do you do . Im zelda warren. Well, im very glad to know you. Harolds father was gonna drive you to the party, but hes a big lawyer and he had to deliver some contracts. So im gonna be your chauffeur. You wanna sit up front . Most kids do. Come on, harold. Come on. Get in. Come on, sport. Dont you want some ice cream . Its real good for storebought ice cream. course it aint as good as the kind i make. Wheres zelda . Dancing. Oh, well, why aint you dancing with her . Oh. Oh, sport. Look what you did. Oh, for petes sake. Here. Hazel. Oh, hi, miss tilcy. May i see you for a moment . Oh, sure. Get you some ice cream. Hazel, it was really very kind of you to offer to help, but oh, the pleasures all mine. Yes, im sure you honestly mean that, but im just glad to do this, and ill do the dishes, too. I dont mind the work. I think its fun. Im just crazy about kids. Well, thats the point i was trying to make. Theyre at an age when they no longer regard themselves as kids. Oh, youre so right. Get a load of that dancing. I was telling zelda i taught harold how to dance, but i aint got the spine for these dances. What i was trying to say is that, uh, some of the mothers offered to come today to help out, but i declined. Oh, good. cause i got a system for dishwashing, and some people, although they got the best intentions, they just get in the way. Well, i feel i know these students better than some parents. Parents often have such a strong mental image of them as children that. Well, they fail to see that theyve reached an age of selfdiscovery, where theyre beginning to discover themselves as young men and women. Oh, youre so right. You know, until yesterday, i looked on harold as my baby. And here he is, taking a girl to a party. Did he take her . Oh, sure. Theyre here. Well, didnt you bring harold . Well, i drove them here, if thats what you mean. Just now when you, uh. When you served harold ice cream and he spilled some on his suit oh, but i got it right off. I got him all cleaned up. Did you see the expression on his face . Yeah. He looked kind of peculiar. He could see that the, uh. That the other students were snickering. Snickering . At him. Why . I think he was humiliated. You got to get it off quick. It was humiliating to have you treat him as though you were his nursemaid. Harold. Sport, im oh, missy, wait till you see what i got. A terrific hat and shoes and a purse to go with it. Hazel, i didnt even hear you drive in the driveway. Oh, for petes sake. I got so interested in the hats, i forgot the car. I walked home. Its us, mom hi, grandma. Hi, honey. Go finish your homework before practice, okay . Yup, okay. Groceries. Prescription. And your books are back at the library.

Absolutely right. Well, ill tell him how sorry i am when he comes home. That is, if hell listen to me. You did the right thing, hazel, and harold will simply have to get over his sensitivity. Now, just a moment. Harold has reached the age when he can be regarded as a young man. You two women had him when he was a child. Now its my turn. Now ill take over and lead him into manhood. What are you gonna do thats any different from what weve done . Ill tell you what im gonna do. From now on, hazel, i dont want you running up to him and saying, come on, sport. Lets play football or lets play baseball. Those days are gone. Really, george. I repeat. Those days are gone forever. Hes reaching maturity, and now the papa bear takes over. Harold, i think youre making a mountain out of a molehill. She treated me like a child. My parents do the same thing. They do . I think all grownups do. It makes them feel superior. It helps them with their own feeling of insecurity. Theyre glad to have someone to look down on. Oh. And if we let it upset us, then we are being childish. Well, i never thought of that. And youre not childish. Thats why i like you so much. Youre not like all the other boys. All they can think of is things like football. Stupid . Full grown men, kicking, punching, and knocking each other down. Its stupid, isnt it . Well, i, uh. I guess it is. And baseball. Hitting a ball with a club and then running around in a circle. Thats even more stupid, isnt it . Yes, i suppose it is. Im studying toe dancing. Harold, have you ever thought of being a ballet dancer . Oh, well, no. Not lately. You should. You have the figure for it. Why dont you join my class . Right now, were rehearsing for a performance of sleeping beauty. Youd look wonderful in tights as one of the fairies. Now, im telling you that the papa bear is taking a firm stand on this. And when i talk to harold hazel oh, hazel. Hazel, hazel. Sport, im awful sorry. Football . Harold right away. Harold. Well, we aint got any football. You traded it, remember . Then can we go play some baseball right away . Well, i got to fix dinner, sport. Mother, dad, is it okay if dinners a little late . Can hazel and i practice a little baseball . Well, son, we wanted to talk to you about zelda. But, unfortunately, hazel zelda. But i thought you and she she wanted me to join her ballet class. She wanted me to wear tights and be a fairy in sleeping beauty. Now that ive been on a date with her, she doesnt seem nearly as pretty as i thought. Well, ill get my baseball and glove. Hazel and i have to get in shape for spring season. Tights . Sleeping beauty . Well, it looks like i got him back again, but i aint kidding myself that its for long. No. The world is full of zeldas. If you dont mind dinner being a little late, im gonna hold on to him as long as i can. You go right ahead, hazel. Well, i dont know where this leaves me. Thats okay, mr. B. Papa bear just came out of his cave too soon. You better go back in and hibernate a little bit longer. Your times coming. [chuckling] [instruments tuning] i think a Symphony Orchestra spends more time tuning up than it does playing. I appreciate your coming by, george. You, uh, sounded worried. I am. Tell me. Um, whats worrying you . Mm. Bianca bellina, one of the worlds great prima donnas. Correction. The worlds greatest prima donna, by her own admission. Shes appearing with the symphony . Her next concert. Shes singing soprano part in mahlers 4th. I thought she was strictly an opera singer. Most of the Opera Companies in the world are suing her, so shes available. So, uh, youre expecting trouble . Since youre the Symphony Associations attorney, i felt i should alert you. You want me to stand by. Well, more than that, george. I want you to meet bellina when she arrives. I thought if you could make our position clear from the outset, maybe we might avoid the usual trouble. Well, uh, wont she resent that . Well, you have to be tactful, george. Firm, but friendly. And i should warn you that according to reports, there is no inbetween with bellina. At first sight, she either hates you or she falls in love with you. [chuckling] great. Either i have trouble with a prima donna or with my wife. Hazel, would you add toothpaste and bobby pins to your shopping list, please . Oh, this aint my shopping list. This is a list of my candidates. Playing politics . Well, you know i aint picked an escort to the Bowling League ball yet. Yeah. Theyre all nice, but, you know, they aint nothing special. [chuckling] well, i know you, hazel. And after youve made your mind up, youll have a lovely time whomever it is. [chuckling] oh. Two out of three. [knocking] buon sera, hazel. Come sta . Enzo martelli. I just cant believe it. Hazel. Hazel. [speaking italian] even when i dont know what youre saying, i like it. You have forgotten the italian we studied together . Well, youve been gone for a long time. Si, but you received my letters. Oh, sure. And i have yours. You write very well. Oh. Well, i just write down whatever comes into my head. There is no time. At the very last moment, my brother giorgio, he decides to come with me, and there is much to be done. And then i remember. You like surprises. Tell me, hazel. Is it a good surprise for you that i am back . Oh, bono. Molto bono. So your brother came with you, huh . Yes, and you will like giorgio. At the present time, he speaks no english. Well, if hes like you, hell learn soon enough. Well, sit down and tell me all about your trip. I would like to hear very much what you have been doing, but today. [speaking italian]. I cannot stay. I only wanted to see you and let you know i am here. Well, im glad it wasnt a day later because our Bowling League is giving a ball a week from today. And its in honor of the city champions. Thats my team. [speaking italian] well, maybe youll escort me to the dance, huh . An honor and a pleasure. Oh. Swell. Youre perhaps free tuesday night . Well, sure, if you dont make it too early. Say about 7 30 . Bene. And now i must go. Oh, enzo, how do you say, glad to have you back in italian . [speaking italian] [speaking italian], enzo. Grazie. Arrivederci. Till tuesday night. Bellina seemed fine yesterday when we brought her from the airport. She walked out of the first rehearsal this afternoon. Says she wont go on. But you are sold out, arent you . Every seat. She has to appear. So do something. Buongior is there no privacy allowed . Signorina, you remember mr. Baxter. Si, i remember. You are a lawyer, no . All of my worst enemies are lawyers. But also some of your best friends. Ah, well. But youre not. You side with those who persecute me. No one is persecuting you, signorina. Everyone is persecuting me. But everyone. I am alone. A poor, lonely, abandoned woman without a friend in the whole world. Well, surely no. Signorina, you have lots of friends in this town. Thousands devoted fans who stood in line to buy tickets to hear you sing. We are sold out . Completely. [gasps] [speaking italian] those poor, unhappy people who long for the music that only bellina can make. I weep for them. I weep for myself. Why are you going to disappoint these people . I cannot work under these conditions. Signorina, we want you to be happy. We want your public to be happy. Now, i think if we cooperate, we can find a way for everyone to be happy. You will try to trick me. No, no. As a matter of fact, i was going to suggest you have dinner with me. Oh . I could phone my wife and oh . We have a wonderful cook. I thought we could spend a quiet, relaxing evening together and get to know one another. Our cook specializes in italian dishes. Very well. Even a nightingale must eat. Perhaps you would like me to invite your publicity man, signor valassi, also. Valassi. Valassi . Never mention that name to be again. Capisce . Buonissimo. That means the same thing. You cook very well for an american. Oh grazie tanto. Le pars italiano . Hazel went to night school. At your age, you still go school . What do you mean at my age . Signorina, in this country, many adults go to night schools to acquire new skills to broaden themselves culturally. Yeah. One cant get too broad culturally. I would like this country better if everyone spoke italian. Well, then it would be italy, not the u. S. A. I cannot make myself understood in your language. I think you communicate your feelings very well. And when bellina feel this way, there is no song in her heart. She cannot make music. Exactly like myrtle may. Signorina, do you travel by yourself . Mymy maid and i. The signorina did have a Public Relations man. I warned you. Who shall be nameless. Hes no longer with her. Men. They are all the same. No. No. Some are worse than others. Lie. Treacherous. I will never listen to another man. Myrtle may could never keep a boyfriend either. The espresso, hazel. Coming right up. Oh, enzo. Buon sera. I let myself in. I do not think you will mind. No, but youre early. Yeah, and shes giving mr. B a real bad time. Hazel, you will do me a favor . Oh, sure i will, if i can. I brought bellinas photograph. You will ask her to sign it . Please. Oh, sure. If thats what you want. I will be a dream come true. I better get in there with the coffee. Believe me, signorina, all i want is for you to be happy, happy enough to sing. We do not talk of my singing. I may never sing again. Oh, that would be a crime. Anybody that has a good voice ought to use it. Would you mind autographing this picture for a friend of mine . No one understands how i suffer. Oh, i understand. Myrtle may used to have them spells. Who is myrtle may . My cousin. To hear her talk, she was never gonna sing again, but just give her what she wanted, an artist is always at the mercy of those who exploit her. The Symphony Association does not want to exploit you. All we ask is that you honor your contract. It is bad contract. I tear it up. It is a very fair contract, the most generous ever given a performer here. Money. What is money . Always little mind tries to reduce everything to money. You are talking to an artist, mr. Baxley. Baxter. Do not interrupt. No one interrupts bellina. And who care what your name is . Please, signorina, theres no reason to get excited. I was born excited, and i refuse to change. I am suing the Symphony Association. I am suing that tonedeaf conductor, and i am suing you. On what grounds . Your persecution has made me lose my voice. Oh, dont worry about your voice. Youre coming in loud and clear. Something in the food has made me ill. Now, just a minute, signorina silencio. Enzo, come quick. Shes gonna sue all of us. Shes very angry, eh . Oh, is she. It was bad enough when she talking in english, but now she switched to italian. [speaking italian] signorina bellina. [speaking italian] signor enzo martelli. [speaking italian] ah. Italiano. Si. [speaking italian] [speaking italian] at last, someone simpatico. Signor martelli, would you join us for some espresso . I do not stay. I am very tired. Signor, i hope you might be so kind as to show me to my hotel. [speaking italian] i have an engagement for this evening. So. Hmm. Very well. I will go along as always, and tomorrow i sue everybody. Enzo, please, for mr. Bs sake, take her to the hotel. But our date . Theyll be other evenings. Si. Arrivederci. Oh, signorina. Scusi. I would be honored to take you to your hotel. Ah. Bene. I will decide whether i will sue or not. Buona notte. Oh, uh. Uh, thanks, hazel, and, uh, im sorry about your date. Oh, thats okay, mr. B. Theyll be other evenings. Buongiorno. Oh, enzo. I didnt think youd be here this morning. I thought youd be at work. I do not start until next week. How did you make out with the prima donna . She suing you . No. With me, shes very friendly. Yeah, i noticed. You and her was very simpatico. Shes very unhappy, hazel. She will not sue you. She promised. Well, what about mr. B and the Symphony Association . When i left her, she was not angry with anyone. [phone rings] come on in. Ill give you a piece of the cake i just baked. Grazie. Then i must go help my brother look for a job. Baxter residence. Hazel . Oh, hi, mr. B. Tell me where we can get in touch with your friend, signor martelli. Well, piccolo mondo, mr. B. Hazel, this is no time to kid around. Well, that means its a small world. Hes standing right here. Good. Biancas refusing to rehearse. Look, mr. Sutherland and i were wondering if hed be willing to help us out just for a few days to get her through the concert. Well, you better ask him. Well, hed be more willing to say yes if you asked. Id appreciate it, hazel. Theres an awful lot at stake. Thanks. And if hell do it, tell him to stop by mr. Sutherlands office in Symphony Hall. All right, i will. Mr. B says the prima donna has lost her voice and he wants you to come down to Symphony Hall and help her find it. But why me . Well, it seems she only feels like singing when youre around. I dont know, hazel. Well, it really would help, mr. B. But if you dont wanna do it. When you ask, how can i refuse . Youre gonna spoil me, enzo. He said to come right down and to ask for mr. Sutherland. Si. Oh, as your escort for the dance friday night, what should i wear . You best suit and your dancing shoes. Arrivederci. Arrivederci. I will only be a moment, enzo, then when we go. Bene. But, gentlemen, i have done nothing. You saved the concert, and we appreciate it very much. Were counting on this sellout to cover the seasons entire deficit. I know it hasnt been easy, but tomorrow night after the concert, youll be free again. Tomorrow night . But tomorrow is friday. Oh, hi, mr. B. Hi, hazel. Uh, beautiful bouquet. Oh, thanks, mr. B. Youre home early. Oh, well, i, uh. I wanna talk to you. Shoot. [chuckles] well, the, uh. The concert is tomorrow night. Oh, i know, well, as long as hes there, shes little goody twoshoes. Uh, thats why he has to be in the audience tomorrow night. But thats the night of the Bowling League ball. I know. Unless hes in the audience, hazel, bellina will not sing. But itll be hundreds of people there. How would she know . She reserved a special seat for him. Front row center. I know how much this dance means to you. And in a way, its in your honor as captain of the championship team. What did enzo say . Oh, enzo said right out that he was going to the dance with you. He did . Said he didnt care what happened to bellina or the concert, that nobody was gonna talk him into breaking his date with you. He got mad, huh . Undetermined. That can make him change his mind. Dont answer now, hazel. Just think it over. Shoot. [phone rings] i bet mr. B forgot his ticket. Baxter residence. Hazel, this is enzo. Oh, enzo. Are you calling from the auditorium . Hazel, will you still allow me to escort you to the dance . Oh, sure. But what about the concert . What about all them music lovers . And mr. B is counting on you. Ill explain everything to you when i see you, and i will be there in 20 minutes. Can you be ready . Oh, sure. Ive started dressing already. Hazel, como bella. You like it . You know, im just dying to know how you can be here and in the front row of the concert at the same time. I am where i want to be with the woman i most admire. And my brother giorgio is where he wants to be, listening to bianca bellina the woman he most admires. Your brother . Hazel, it was for giorgio that i asked you to get her autograph. Oh. I should have known. Tonight, while i was dressing, giorgio said, i wish i could go in your place, and i said, giorgio, you are a genius. Does your brother look that much like you . Oh, no. Hes much more handsome, but from the stage, she will not notice. She will only see the admiration in his eyes, and it will be genuine. Oh, yes, but shes gonna be so mad when she discovers you tricked her. That will be after the concert. And if she loses her voice then, [horn honking] oh. Our taxi. Signorina . You are happy . Oh im so happy i could sing. But dont worry. Im not gonna. [music] hiya, mr. Wilson. Dennis, does your mother approve of your leaving your toys all over the sidewalk like that . Heck no, mr. Wilson. Well, then why dont you do something about it . cause theyre not mine. Well, who do they belong to, for heavens sakes . Thats erics and thats tommys and thats joeys, and thats stewarts, and thats oh, never mind. Dont you wanna know who they belong to . No. Then how come you asked . I shouldve known better. Excuse me for talking with my mouth full, but in a minute, i think youre gonna step on stewarts skate. Well, then move it. There. Did i save your life or somethin, mr. Wilson . Dennis, your parents are giving a big open house party tomorrow afternoon. Now, if it were i, id move those toys so the guests wouldnt fall over them. Gee, thanks, mr. Wilson. When i come back from the store, im gonna help you
