Do what?

They got a great
smell. Smell that.

I know what it smells like.

a cap pistol. Listen, Leonard,

idea how loud you're yelling?

I don't know. Business.

103
00:05:25,617 --> 00:05:29,246

Do you know how much we could lose if we
put this toy into production the way it is?

110

That's a good toy.

111

117
00:06:02,737 --> 00:06:06,867
Sure, the eyes have to light up! Do
you want to ruin the whole thing?

118
00:06:06,950 --> 00:06:10,579
The eyes lighting up. That's the
beauty part! That's the terrific thing.

119

What's the matter, Horace?

120
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:15,250
Nothing! Well, you're just talking
about ruining the whole thing!

121
00:06:15,333 --> 00:06:18,753
I don't wanna argue about it. I want the

the whole thing.

A little.

Good, dinner's almost ready.

145
00:07:26,196 --> 00:07:28,990
Oh, Laura, there's something's
wrong with the chicken.

146
00:07:29,074 --> 00:07:31,785
It's like leather. These
birds they sell you nowadays.

147
00:07:31,868 --> 00:07:34,412
Like people don't know
what chickens are anymore.

148
00:07:34,496 --> 00:07:36,498
It looks all right to me.

149
00:07:36,581 --> 00:07:38,375
Well, how was the office today?

150
00:07:38,458 --> 00:07:40,043
It was okay.

151
00:07:40,126 --> 00:07:41,628
What's the matter?

152
00:07:41,711 --> 00:07:43,338
Nothing. Nothing's the matter.

153
00:07:43,421 --> 00:07:47,217
No, I can tell just from
your voice. What is it?

154
00:07:47,300 --> 00:07:49,970
Nothing. Everything's
fine. Let's have dinner.

155
00:07:50,011 --> 00:07:54,224
Boy, I'm telling you, that
Mr. Judson is just plain nuts.

156
00:07:54,307 --> 00:07:56,893
The guy reminds me of Corey.

157
00:07:58,645 --> 00:08:01,898
Hey, mom, you
remember Mr. Corey?

158
00:08:01,982 --> 00:08:04,526
Mr. Corey, mom.
I had him in 5—b.

159
00:08:04,609 --> 00:08:08,989
Hey, hey, Laura, listen, did I ever tell
you what we used to call him? Guess.

160
00:08:09,072 --> 00:08:10,865
Come on, let's get
ready for dinner.

161
00:08:10,949 --> 00:08:13,910
I'm not even gonna tell
you. I'll never forget the time

162
00:08:13,994 --> 00:08:16,079
he caught me with
a candy ball in my mouth.

163
00:08:16,162 --> 00:08:18,748
The kind that change colors
while you suck on them.

164
00:08:18,832 --> 00:08:21,751
Boy, he made me stand up, and every
minute he'd point that pointer at me

165
00:08:21,835 --> 00:08:25,380
and he'd say, "Mr. Ford, what color
is it? What color is it, Mr. Ford?"

166
00:08:25,463 --> 00:08:27,841
I gotta take it out of
my mouth and tell him.

167
00:08:27,924 --> 00:08:30,927
Oh, I thought hermy Brandt'd
bust trying not to laugh.

Horace.

169
00:08:32,220 --> 00:08:34,055
Hermy Brandt.

170
00:08:34,139 --> 00:08:38,435
Boy, the greatest stickball
player in the whole world.

anything about Randolph street?

make you feel, hearing that?

potato, three potato, four."

298

You remember that? You remember
that? And then one side's got to hide.

to think of something like that?

Succotash. It's canned, but
you can hardly tell it from fresh.

347
00:20:24,890 --> 00:20:26,892
Now, help yourself
to the meat, Horace.

348
00:20:26,976 --> 00:20:29,311
If it's stringy, blame
it on the subway.

349
00:20:29,395 --> 00:20:31,772
[Sighs]

350
00:20:33,065 --> 00:20:34,734
You sure nobody jumped?

351
00:20:34,817 --> 00:20:35,985
Mother.

352
00:20:36,068 --> 00:20:38,446
What's so great about disasters?

353
00:20:38,529 --> 00:20:39,739
What?

354
00:20:39,780 --> 00:20:42,324
You know, I remember you
from Randolph street.

355
00:20:42,408 --> 00:20:44,618
Every time there was an
accident or something,

356
00:20:44,702 --> 00:20:47,413
you was always right there
in the front row, watching.

357
00:20:47,455 --> 00:20:49,331
Horace.

358
00:20:49,415 --> 00:20:51,333
It's the truth.
What-what about that time

359
00:20:51,417 --> 00:20:53,919
that Harvey bender got his
arm caught in the fire hydrant?

360
00:20:54,003 --> 00:20:56,422
We all think they're gonna
have to bust it to get it loose.

361
00:20:56,505 --> 00:20:58,340
You never budged
out of the front row.

362
00:20:58,424 --> 00:21:02,261
Harvey bender? Who's Harvey
bender? What are you talking about?

363
00:21:02,344 --> 00:21:04,638
If that wasn't
the nuttiest thing.

364
00:21:04,722 --> 00:21:06,640
What's he talking about?

365
00:21:06,724 --> 00:21:08,434
The hottest da y of the summer,

366
00:21:08,517 --> 00:21:10,603
and he thinks to clog
up the fire hydrant.

367
00:21:10,644 --> 00:21:13,355
What do you mean you don't
remember Harvey bender?

368
00:21:13,439 --> 00:21:16,942
Gee, we were all playing Emmy,
see, you know, on a manhole cover,

369
00:21:17,026 --> 00:21:21,655
and man, I'm cleaning up. Oh, gosh, I
remember it just as if it was this morning.

370
00:21:21,739 --> 00:21:25,659
I got this big fat purey,
and I'm... I'm cleaning up,

371
00:21:25,743 --> 00:21:29,038
and all of a sudden this nut says,
"let's open up the fire hydrant."

372
00:21:29,121 --> 00:21:31,457
Ah, that was the
nuttiest kid, I swear.

373
00:21:31,499 --> 00:21:34,543
His favorite thing was
shake, spear, sock in the ear.

374
00:21:34,627 --> 00:21:36,212
Horace, stop it!

375
00:21:50,100 --> 00:21:51,393
What's the matter?

376
00:21:51,477 --> 00:21:53,437
Just stop it.

377
00:21:54,522 --> 00:21:56,524
He was one of
the kids last night.

378
00:21:56,607 --> 00:21:58,150
Who was one of the kids?

379
00:21:58,192 --> 00:21:59,735
Harvey bender.

380
00:21:59,819 --> 00:22:01,570
What are you talking about?

381
00:22:01,654 --> 00:22:03,489
I saw him last night.

382
00:22:03,531 --> 00:22:05,324
Don't you know
that's impossible?

383
00:22:05,366 --> 00:22:07,326
I know what I see.

384
00:22:07,368 --> 00:22:11,038
He was ten years old when
you were ten years old.

385
00:22:11,121 --> 00:22:12,915
He's as old as you are.

386
00:22:12,998 --> 00:22:14,208
I tell you, I saw him.

387
00:22:14,291 --> 00:22:16,544
He's a grown-up man!

388
00:22:16,627 --> 00:22:19,755
Well, you think so
you think so, do you?

389
00:22:19,839 --> 00:22:22,591
Let me tell you, I saw him
last night on Randolph street.

390
00:22:22,675 --> 00:22:27,054
And I saw George lambert, and I
saw cy Wright, and they are still kids!

391
00:22:27,137 --> 00:22:29,348
Horace, what are you saying?

392
00:22:29,390 --> 00:22:31,767
Feel his head. He's gota fever.

393
00:22:31,851 --> 00:22:33,394
Leave me alone. I got no fever.

394
00:22:33,477 --> 00:22:35,688
Mother, be quiet.

395
00:22:35,729 --> 00:22:38,232
Horace, sit down.

396
00:22:39,358 --> 00:22:40,943
Feel his head.

397
00:22:41,026 --> 00:22:42,278
Will you let me alone?

398
00:22:42,361 --> 00:22:44,780
Mother.

399
00:22:44,864 --> 00:22:46,532
Listen, darling,

400
00:22:46,574 --> 00:22:49,910
I wanna talk to you
quietly just for a minute.

401
00:22:49,994 --> 00:22:52,955
I don't know what's been
happening at the office,

402
00:22:53,038 --> 00:22:56,083
but I see you when
you come home at night,

403
00:22:56,166 --> 00:22:58,627
you're tired.

404
00:22:58,711 --> 00:23:00,963
I mean, overwork can cause...

405
00:23:03,257 --> 00:23:04,842
I want you to see a doctor.

406
00:23:06,594 --> 00:23:07,803
What for?

407
00:23:07,887 --> 00:23:09,388
Just to have a checkup.

408
00:23:09,430 --> 00:23:12,308
Yeah, you think I'm imagining
this thing about the kids.

409
00:23:12,391 --> 00:23:13,601
No, I don't.

410
00:23:13,684 --> 00:23:14,894
Yes, you do.

411
00:23:14,977 --> 00:23:17,438

Where are you going?

412
00:23:19,231 --> 00:23:21,317

to be his best friend.

mob-ilize him, right, hermy?

you, Laura, no-nothing changed.

00:31:27,302 --> 00:31:28,428
Last week.

520
00:31:28,512 --> 00:31:30,555
Oh, it's a real
good name. Catchy.

521
00:31:30,639 --> 00:31:32,099
Listen, Leonard,

522
00:31:32,182 --> 00:31:34,810
did you ever hear of this thing,

523
00:31:34,893 --> 00:31:37,062
"step on a crack

524
00:31:37,104 --> 00:31:39,731
and break your mother's back"?

525
00:31:39,773 --> 00:31:42,442
And it's got another part to it.

526
00:31:42,526 --> 00:31:46,238
I-I've been trying to remember
it all day, and I can't remember it.

527
00:31:46,321 --> 00:31:47,656
I never heard of it.

528
00:31:47,739 --> 00:31:50,283
Look, you were telling
me a story yesterday

529
00:31:50,367 --> 00:31:54,329
about something that happened in your
old block, and you never did finish it.

530
00:31:54,413 --> 00:31:56,415
"Step on a crack."

531
00:31:56,498 --> 00:31:59,126
What happened the other night?

532
00:31:59,209 --> 00:32:00,961
I don't wanna tell you.

533
00:32:01,044 --> 00:32:04,256
You'd just give me a blank look
and tell me I'm crazy or something.

534
00:32:04,339 --> 00:32:06,091
What are you talking about?

535
00:32:06,174 --> 00:32:07,759
I don't wanna tell you.

536
00:32:10,971 --> 00:32:15,016
Hello, Leonard. I'd like to speak to Horace
alone for a minute if you don't mind.

537
00:32:15,100 --> 00:32:19,020
Mr. Judson, I was just gonna ask you to come
in and go over that hop-hop toy with me.

538
00:32:19,104 --> 00:32:21,189
In a little while. I'll
see you in your office.

539
00:32:21,273 --> 00:32:22,774
The designs are all finished.

540
00:32:22,816 --> 00:32:24,985
In a little while, Leonard.

541
00:32:31,032 --> 00:32:32,284
How are you, Horace?

542
00:32:32,325 --> 00:32:33,368
Okay.

543
00:32:33,452 --> 00:32:34,536
You look tired.

544
00:32:34,619 --> 00:32:36,371
I'm not tired.

545
00:32:36,455 --> 00:32:40,792
I thought maybe you'd have the robot toy
design finished by now, and I'd like to see it.

546
00:32:40,834 --> 00:32:42,377
I don't have them.

547
00:32:42,461 --> 00:32:43,962
Why not?

548
00:32:44,045 --> 00:32:46,798
I don't know why not. I
just haven't gotten to them.

549
00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:48,300
What have you been doing?

550
00:32:48,341 --> 00:32:52,053
What have I been doing? What-what-what
do you think I've been doing?

551
00:32:52,137 --> 00:32:54,723
Well, Horace, you...

552
00:32:54,806 --> 00:32:58,059
You haven't been very helpful
around here for quite a while.

553
00:32:58,143 --> 00:33:01,229
Helpful? I don't know
how you can say that.

554
00:33:01,313 --> 00:33:02,731
That toy has to get
into production.

555
00:33:02,814 --> 00:33:05,859
Maybe you'd better start on
something else, and Leonard can finish up.

556
00:33:05,942 --> 00:33:10,030
Listen, that's my design, and
nobody else is touching it.

557
00:33:10,113 --> 00:33:12,574
I still run this firm, Horace.

558
00:33:12,657 --> 00:33:15,660
[Shouting] You are
not taking my stuff!

559
00:33:15,702 --> 00:33:17,412
I o wer your voice.

560
00:33:17,496 --> 00:33:21,416
Look, Horace, I'm trying to be decent to
you because I think there's something wrong.

561
00:33:21,500 --> 00:33:25,003
I think ma ybe you're ill. I'd like
you to takea Lea ve of absence,

562
00:33:25,086 --> 00:33:26,922
and I want you
to see a psychiatrist.

563
00:33:27,005 --> 00:33:29,508
I think you're approaching
a nervous breakdown.

564
00:33:29,549 --> 00:33:31,676
I am not approaching
any nervous breakdown.

565
00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:34,262
I don't know who you think
you are talking to me like that!

566
00:33:34,346 --> 00:33:36,223
I'm only trying to help.

567
00:33:36,306 --> 00:33:37,849
There's nothing wrong with me.

568
00:33:37,891 --> 00:33:40,352
That may be, but if there is,

569
00:33:40,393 --> 00:33:42,229
it-it's nothing
to be ashamed of.

570
00:33:42,312 --> 00:33:44,731
I want you to take a leave
of absence and find out.

571
00:33:44,814 --> 00:33:47,609
I am not taking
any leave of absence.

572
00:33:50,445 --> 00:33:54,407
Well, the way things are, I'm
afraid you can't work here anymore.

573
00:33:54,491 --> 00:33:57,702
All right, all right,
all right, all right!

574
00:33:57,786 --> 00:34:00,539
All right, then I can't
work here anymore!

575
00:34:00,580 --> 00:34:04,251
I'm sorry, Horace. I
wish you'd think about it.

576
00:34:04,334 --> 00:34:09,381
Would you please just get
out of here? Would you, please?

577
00:34:30,777 --> 00:34:35,240
(Laura) Laura. All right,
uh, one chocolate chip.

578
00:34:35,323 --> 00:34:38,493
543 da yton street,
apartment "d."

579
00:34:38,577 --> 00:34:40,912
"D" as in David.

580
00:34:40,996 --> 00:34:43,748
That's right. 10:00 tonight.

581
00:34:43,790 --> 00:34:45,000
Thank you.

582
00:34:45,083 --> 00:34:48,461
Laura, do you think I
bought enough potato chips?

583
00:34:48,545 --> 00:34:50,171
Oh, mm-hm.

584
00:34:50,255 --> 00:34:52,841
What shall I do with this
so Horace won't see it?

585
00:34:52,924 --> 00:34:56,928
Well, I don't know. Maybe put
it in your bedroom somewhere.

586
00:34:56,970 --> 00:34:58,597
Where is he?

587
00:34:58,638 --> 00:34:59,848
What time is it?

588
00:34:59,931 --> 00:35:02,267
Ten of 8:00. I'm getting
worried about him.

589
00:35:02,350 --> 00:35:04,352
He should have been
home an hour ago.

590
00:35:04,436 --> 00:35:06,855
He probably got
stuck at the office.

591
00:35:06,938 --> 00:35:08,356
I'm gonna call him there.

592
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:09,983
It looks good.

593
00:35:10,066 --> 00:35:12,485
The way they bake
cakes these days.

594
00:35:12,569 --> 00:35:14,821
I hope it tastes
as good as it looks.

595
00:35:19,284 --> 00:35:22,996
Well, hello. How come
you're so late?

596
00:35:23,079 --> 00:35:24,539
I didn't know what time it is.

597
00:35:24,623 --> 00:35:26,041
Why, it's ten of 8:00.

598
00:35:26,124 --> 00:35:28,001
(Mother) Hello, dear.

599
00:35:31,671 --> 00:35:32,839
I'm fired.

600
00:35:32,922 --> 00:35:34,049
You're what?

601
00:35:34,132 --> 00:35:36,468
I'm fired.

602
00:35:36,509 --> 00:35:37,969
What are you talking about?

603
00:35:38,011 --> 00:35:40,055
Mother.

604
00:35:40,138 --> 00:35:43,767
I went and had a hamburger at
the drugstore. That's why I'm late.

605
00:35:45,935 --> 00:35:48,146
You're fired from your job?

606
00:35:48,188 --> 00:35:50,482
Will you, for heaven's sakes?

607
00:35:50,523 --> 00:35:53,360
Horace, I want to know.

608
00:35:53,443 --> 00:35:55,695
You're trying to be funny.

609
00:35:57,322 --> 00:35:59,991
Why were you fired?

610
00:36:00,033 --> 00:36:01,993
I was inadequate in my work.

611
00:36:02,035 --> 00:36:04,079
Well, that's not so.

612
00:36:04,162 --> 00:36:06,331
I was inadequate in my work.

613
00:36:06,373 --> 00:36:07,999
Who said that?

614
00:36:10,001 --> 00:36:12,253
It doesn't matter, Horace.

615
00:36:14,255 --> 00:36:15,840
Wha t doesn't ma tter?

616
00:36:15,882 --> 00:36:20,345
A man loses a job he's had for
15 years, and it doesn't matter?

617
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:24,182
What do they mean inadequate?

618
00:36:24,224 --> 00:36:27,936
A man like you? A
top designer of toys?

619
00:36:28,019 --> 00:36:32,023
Do they know what they've got? I'll
tell you what they've got: Pure gold.

620
00:36:32,107 --> 00:36:33,942
That's what they've
got: Pure gold.

621
00:36:34,025 --> 00:36:35,068
Mother.

622
00:36:35,151 --> 00:36:37,278
Listen, ma ybe they don't know,

623
00:36:37,362 --> 00:36:40,281
but I know what you did
for them in 15 years.

624
00:36:40,365 --> 00:36:42,242
They've got to be told.

625
00:36:42,325 --> 00:36:44,744
Your life's blood
is in that place.

626
00:36:44,828 --> 00:36:46,287
Look,

627
00:36:47,497 --> 00:36:50,792
I want you to get whoever it is
down there at that firm there.

628
00:36:50,875 --> 00:36:53,545
That Mr. Johnson
or whatever his name is.

629
00:36:53,586 --> 00:36:56,214
Get him on the wire
and tell him what's what.

630
00:36:56,256 --> 00:36:58,007
I'm not calling anybody.

631
00:37:07,684 --> 00:37:09,769
But you're fired.

632
00:37:09,853 --> 00:37:13,440
$140 a week.

633
00:37:13,523 --> 00:37:17,444
Do you think you can find
$140 a week on the street?

634
00:37:17,527 --> 00:37:19,904
Wha t's going to happen to us?

635
00:37:21,072 --> 00:37:22,365
I don't know.

636
00:37:24,451 --> 00:37:29,122
Because all of a sudden, my
whole life is going before me.

637
00:37:29,205 --> 00:37:31,583
I don't know why.

638
00:37:31,666 --> 00:37:34,294
I can't tell you what it is.

639
00:37:36,671 --> 00:37:41,801
But it's been ups and
downs, ups and downs.

640
00:37:41,885 --> 00:37:45,597
I'm 61 years old, 61.

641
00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:48,516
It's time I shouldn't
be afraid anymore.

642
00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:52,687
Why don't you look atme
when I'm talking to you?

643
00:37:52,771 --> 00:37:55,148
What's gonna happen to me?

644
00:37:55,231 --> 00:37:57,567
Shut up!

645
00:37:59,569 --> 00:38:03,323
I am going to talk
to Horace alone.

646
00:38:13,875 --> 00:38:15,251
What did I do wrong?

647
00:38:17,420 --> 00:38:20,215
Ever, in my whole life?

648
00:38:29,265 --> 00:38:31,643
If somebody could tell me.

649
00:38:43,196 --> 00:38:45,198
I couldn't help it.

650
00:38:45,281 --> 00:38:47,408
It's only a job, darling.

651
00:38:47,492 --> 00:38:50,161
There are plenty of other jobs.

652
00:38:50,203 --> 00:38:52,413
You were stagnating
there, Horace.

653
00:38:52,497 --> 00:38:53,832
I never had another job.

654
00:38:53,915 --> 00:38:56,000
What are you going to do?

655
00:39:00,755 --> 00:39:02,507
Why did she have to cry?

656
00:39:02,549 --> 00:39:04,676
She's an old woman, Horace.

657
00:39:06,302 --> 00:39:08,054
I mean, it's unfair
for her to cry.

658
00:39:08,137 --> 00:39:12,267
Well, that's always her first
reaction to trouble. Crying.

659
00:39:12,350 --> 00:39:14,269
She'll be all right.

660
00:39:14,352 --> 00:39:16,104
Did you get any severance pay?

661
00:39:16,187 --> 00:39:19,774
I don't know what I got.
I just walked out.

662
00:39:19,858 --> 00:39:24,195
Well, we'll forget about it for
now. We'll think about it this weekend.

663
00:39:24,279 --> 00:39:26,197
Monday you can start looking.

664
00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:27,866
We'll makea list of places.

665
00:39:27,949 --> 00:39:29,450
She's scared stiff.

666
00:39:29,534 --> 00:39:31,703
She'll be all right.

667
00:39:31,744 --> 00:39:34,247
I have to support her.

668
00:39:39,168 --> 00:39:40,378
And you.

669
00:39:40,420 --> 00:39:44,048
Horace, I have
to tell you something.

670
00:39:44,132 --> 00:39:47,260
And me. That makes three
people. Well, you think that's easy?

671
00:39:47,343 --> 00:39:50,763
You know what Mr. Corey says to
me today? He says he thinks that he's...

672
00:39:50,847 --> 00:39:53,558
Mr. Corey was
your teacher in 5-b.

673
00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:56,394
Well, Mr. Judson. You know
what Mr. Judson says to me?

674
00:39:56,477 --> 00:39:59,981
He says he thinks I'm having a
nervous breakdown. He's out of his mind.

675
00:40:00,064 --> 00:40:03,902
Listen, Laura, I'm telling you, I
saw those kids. I know who they are.

676
00:40:03,943 --> 00:40:04,944
Horace.

677
00:40:05,028 --> 00:40:07,280
They-they were running
up and down the street,

678
00:40:07,363 --> 00:40:11,159
and-and-and swiping apples,
and yelling, and having fun.

679
00:40:11,242 --> 00:40:14,245
That's all they were
doing. Having fun.

680
00:40:14,287 --> 00:40:16,497
They yell, "fins."

681
00:40:16,581 --> 00:40:19,500
Li-listen, did you
ever yell "fins"?

682
00:40:19,584 --> 00:40:21,252
That's not what we
were talking about.

683
00:40:21,336 --> 00:40:24,631
It is what we were talking about me
having to make a living for three people

684
00:40:24,714 --> 00:40:27,634
while they're just swiping apples
and running up and down the street.

685
00:40:27,717 --> 00:40:31,012
You're a grown-up man! What do
you think you're supposed to do?

686
00:40:31,095 --> 00:40:34,515
They were sore 'cause some kid
hadn't invited them to a birthday party.

687
00:40:34,599 --> 00:40:36,976
That was their biggest
