What?

You know, uh, mink.

Look, do you suppose you could sort of, well, I mean, do you think you could take me at face value for, well, for the time being? That isn't, uh...

[laughs] Joan, I know this all sounds confusing, but you understand, don't you? No, no, of course you don't.

But never mind, everything'll, uh, everything'll be clear to you later.

Francis? I just sent Francis up to his room.

I know.

I heard you talking to him, except it wasn't Francis, it was my twin brother.

Pottsy, don't you think you better take another turn around the park?

Oh, I, I'm just as surprised as you.

Marriage.

I thought I was married to my books, and, and then you...

You see, I've had a rather curious life.

I, I graduated from Princeton when I was 13.

I, uh, I recited Tiger, Tiger Burning Bright when I was a year old, and before I was two I could read fluently.

Good night, Potts.

And this is your little present to me.

Now, look, we don't know where this stuff came from.

There'll be rumors, of course, that this necklace was given to you by the prince of some place or other, and the earrings are a little token of esteem from the Duke of whatchamacallit.

Uh-huh.

And the anklet from some king of some little country.

I'll work out a good gag on that.

Oh, sure.

Gosh, why haven't you thought of having me pushed over Niagara Falls in a kiddie car?

Johnny, $5,000.

I know, I know.

But I'll get it.

You stay here, Jane.

If I gotta rob a bank, I'll get it.

I'm coming through this time.

[dramatic music] You don't dare wake Judge Doolittle.

I'm in a bad downdraft.

Yeah, how about a bicycle, Mama, huh? [laughs]

[laughs]Well, Stella, I, I meant to talk to you alone, not with the whole gang around

[audience applauding] That was Ms. Janet Henley, ladies and gentlemen, and here's Fred MacMurray.

And, uh, for a very good purpose, Mr. DeMille.

On behalf of Bette Davis, John Beal, and myself, I want to say how fortunate we've been to have appeared tonight with such a splendid cast.

There's May Robson, who played Mother Hallum.

Ms. Robson's been acting for more than 50 years, and, uh, I wish I knew just a little of what she's forgotten about characterization.

Thanks also to Margaret Hamilton and Hal K. Dawson, who played Grace and Walter, and to all the others, Edward Keane as Paul Hallam, Myra Marsh as Etta Hallam, and Sam Flint as Mr. Hallam.

Be a nobody all your life.

A nobody? A nobody? That's what I've been for four months, cooking, sweeping, answering bells, having to beg you for every nickel.

That's what I've been, a nobody, and I'm sick and tired of the whole business.

[dramatic music] [audience applauding]

Darling, all I want in the world is to sit back and let you take care of me.

Darling, that's just what I'm going to do.
