 My man, Godfrey. Ladies and Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen. In the early days of the Great Depression, there were still a few of the idol rich who were unaware of the plight of a forgotten man. They were in callous, merely hair brained in giddy. And in tonight's play, we will tell you the story of a fabulously wealthy family of the 30s and their forgotten man, Godfrey. Starring this zany, universal international comedy, we will have two of their top stars, Jeff Chandler and Julie Adams, who will join me later for a preview. Here is 1933, a place New York's waterfront. The moonlight softly tips the majestic spires of the Queensborough Bridge with a silvery glow and comes gently to rest on a pile of refuse known as the city dump. In the center of this wasteland, a small fire is burning, and our man, Godfrey, is in tattered clothes with a three-day growth of beard, sits on a packing case warming his hands. A luxurious limousine bursts softly into the scene and comes to a stop. Three people alike, one of them, a young lady in evening clothes, steps gingerly toward the fire. Good evening. Good evening. Would you like to make five dollars? How would I? I didn't quite catch what you said. I said, how would you like to make five dollars? Well, 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 Waldorf Ritz Hotel with me and I'll show you to a few people and then I'll send you right back. May I inquire just why you would want to show me to people at the Waldorf Ritz? Well, if you must know, it's a game. A scavenger hunt. If I find a forgotten man first, I will. Is that clear? Yes, quite clear. Shall I wear my tails or come just as I am? You needn't 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 scoffer. What are you doing? Get away from me. However, I'm afraid I'll have to take it up with my board of directors. Don't you touch me. No matter what my board of directors advise, I think you should be spanked. Oh! I didn't, but it suited you nicely. George! George! I saw that. I saw what you did. Are you in the habit of hitting ladies? Maybe, but I'm in the habit of hitting gentlemen. Also, that'd interest you. Now, don't you hit me. George, aren't you going to do anything? Hell, I most certainly am. I'm going to get a policeman. Come on. George, come back here. You pushed in the ash pile. How would you like to have me push Cornelia's sister into an ash pile? Oh, I don't think I'd like it. No, no, wait a minute, wait a minute. Are you a member of this hunting party? Well, I was, but I'm not now. Oh, it's the funniest thing. I couldn't help but laugh. I've wanted to do that ever since I was six years old. You wanted to do what? Oh, push Cornelia in something, a pile of ashes or something. Cornelia thought she was going to win, and you pushed her into pile of ashes. Look, do you think you could follow an intelligent conversation for just a moment? I'll try. That's fine. Do you mind telling me just what a scavenger hunt is? Well, a scavenger hunt is exactly like a treasure hunt, except that in a treasure hunt, you find something you want. In a scavenger hunt, you try to find something that nobody wants, and the one that wins gets a prize. Only there really isn't a prize, because all the money goes to charity. That is if there's any money left over, only there never is. Oh, well, that clears the whole matter up beautifully. Thank you. Well, I suppose I should be going, shouldn't I? It's a good idea. I want to see you win the game. I suppose it was Cornelia again. She's probably got another forgotten man by now. You mean if you took me along with you, you'd win the game? Is that the idea? Well, I might if I got there first. Let's beat Cornelia. It wouldn't be asking too much. Not at all. You see, I'm very curious. I'd really like to see just what a scavenger hunt looks like. But I told you. Yes, but I'm still curious. City dump 30. Is that your permanent? Permanency is rather questionable. You see, the place is being rapidly filled in. Do you mind? May I ask you a personal question? This has claimed them. Wanted by the police? That's just the trouble nobody wants me. A very good answer. When did God bring it? Well, the committee has satisfied Miss Irene Bullock wins the scavenger hunt for the forgotten man. The person coming here tonight was twofold. First, I wanted to aid this young lady. Second, I was curious to see how a bunch of empty-headed nitwits conducted themselves. My curiosity is satisfied. I assure you it'll be a pleasure for me to go back to a society of really important people. Good night, ladies and gentlemen. Oh, Godfrey! Godfrey, wait! Oh, Godfrey, I'm terribly sorry. Well, it's all right. I'd never brought you in there if I thought they were going to humiliate you. I'm terribly grateful. It's the first time I've ever beaten Canadian anything, and you helped me do it. I wish I could do something for you. Why? Well, because you've done something for me, don't you see? Well, I could use your job if you've got one lying around loose. Can you bottle? Bottle? Yes, we're fresh out of butlers, the one we had left this morning. Oh, I'm afraid I wouldn't be much good at it. Oh, yes, you would. You're going to make the best butler we ever had. You really think so? Oh, I do. Well, all right. Thank you. Good night, Godfrey. Good night. Good night. I'm the old maid. How did you know I was the new butler? No, it was one every morning at this hour. It's dropping in and out all the time. Oh, is the family that exacting? No, they're that nutty. I see you. Does the butler have quarters here in the house or isn't it necessary? You won't need any quarters. Just hang your half near the door so you can get it quickly on your way out. That's the old battleaxe. She usually rings about this time. The old battleaxe? This is Bullock. She's the mother type. If she has the jitters and she usually has, she'll ring again in a minute and no uncertain turns. Then, brother, you better grab a tomato juice and get going. There she goes. Well, Cupid, this is your big opportunity. Shall I take it to her? You might as well know the worst, but I want to warn you. She sees pixies. Pixies? You know, the little man. Oh, those, yes. Where do I find those? Upstairs. She's in the first cage on the right. Wish me luck. Happy landing. Oh, so I can see who you are. But I'm not jumping. Someone I know. Well, we met last night at the Waldorf Ritz. I'm the forgotten man. Oh, so many people have such bad memories. Yes, that's the truth. Will you drink this now? What's that? Fixie remover. Oh, then you see them too. But you mustn't step on them. But I don't like to see them stepped on. I'll be very careful. I wouldn't hurt them for the world. No, no, you drink this, and they'll go away very quickly. Very, very quickly. Thank you. You're a great help. I'm forgetting, God see. Good night. Good night. 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 cubs. Now try the lioness. Her name's Cornelia. She's a sweet-tempered little number. Yes, I met her last night. You've got a treat coming. You've never met her in the morning. Let me have her tray. Second door. Thank you. Irene, do you want to try again? Why not? Lots of luck. What happened to all those nice whiskers? Well, turn around and let me look at you. This is the thing I've ever seen. Thank you. Will there be anything else? Yes, sit down and talk to me. I like to talk in the morning when your head is clear, especially if you've been somewhere the night before. Sit down. Well, if you insist, but it doesn't seem very good for him for a butler. Oh, you're more than a butler. You're the first protégé I ever had. Protégé? You know, like Carlo. Who is Carlo? He's mother's protégé. 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 his practicing. Then he never does, and that makes a difference. I imagine it would. Oh, well, it makes me feel so mature and grown up. Oh, what does? Having a protégé. You're the first one I ever had, and it's terribly thrilling. Well, tell me just what does a protégé have to do? Oh, you just go on buckling, and I sponsor you, don't you see? It's getting clearer. It's really not much work, but it gives you something to think of, or it's going to be such fun. I'm sure it's going to be heaps of fun, but you see, a protégé has certain responsibilities also. For instance, if someone should ring for me now and I didn't answer, that would reflect upon you because you're my sponsor, don't you see? Well, yes, I suppose it would. I never thought of that. Well, 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. Oh, it's very nice. See you in church. See you in church. Bye, Godfrey. Goodbye, miss. I see you're still with us, Godfrey. Yes, miss. I didn't think you'd last a full day. Thank you, miss. You like your place here? I mean, so far as you've gone. 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, I remember now. You were very amusing. Well, I am very sorry, miss. I didn't mind at all. With your hand to chip, there's a spot on my shoe. Will you see what you can do about it? Of course, miss. You could have you fired, you know, but I like to see things wriggle. When I get through with you, you'll go back to your packing case on the city dump and relish it. I'll make your life so miserable with you. Good evening, Miss Irene. Oh, I like a new monkey suit. Thank you for picking it up. How do you like my new lunging 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? If you don't, you'll get a good sock for me. Oh, the physical. Well, I say goes. May I come in? You're in, aren't you? Good evening, Irene. Oh, hello, Carlo. I've just been reading a very interesting book, The Greeks of the Middle Ages. Irene would like that. You love the Middle Ages, don't you, dear? Shut up. Well, here you are. Misser's Bullock, Martogratia. Oh, Carlo, you're so continental. So nice to see you two girls having a pleasant chat. Or is it a pleasant chat? Well, well, well, imagine the bullocks gathered together all in one room. Don't forget Carlo, Alexander. I'm not going to forget Carlo. Well, don't bother about me, Mr. Bullock. I feel like one of the family. Then you don't mind if I discuss a few family matters, do you, Carlo, my boy? Oh, no, not at all. Oh, Alexander, you're not going to bring up those sordid business matters again, I hope. I have just been going over last month's bills, and I find that you people have confused me with the treasurer department. No, don't start that again, Dad. I've got to start it, the way you people are throwing my money around. Money, money, money, money, money, money, money, money. The Frankenstein monster that destroys souls. What? Now listen, you. Please, please. Don't say anything more about it. You're upsetting Carlo. Carlo, Carlo, who's the head of this house? Carlo or me? I've never. You don't think. Who? Cocktails, sir. Oh, thank you very much. Well, not at all, sir, Miss Irene. Did you make them, Godfrey? I have. Oh, they must be wonderful. I'd like to help sometimes, you let me. All right, feel honored. 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? For all we know, we might all be stabbed in the back some night and robbed. Who's going to rob and stab who, Cornelia? I don't know a thing about certain people. You shut up. I will not shut up, my life is precious to me. It won't be in a minute. I think we should get our help from employment agencies. Well, I don't know, but when I agree with Cornelia. You? Now, Cornelia, you mustn't come between Irene and Godfrey. He's the only thing she's shown any affection for since her Pomeranian died last summer. Irene, dear good girl, Carlo's going to imitate a gorilla for a feeling all right. Irene, he's right here. Don't go away, Godfrey. Angelica, we'll be late for the concert. I've got my things. I'll be right with you. Godfrey's right here, darling. Where? Right here. Look, how do I mean so she'll know who you are? And he's promised to stay on. Haven't you, Godfrey? Well, if I'm wanted. Oh, of course you're wanted. Isn't he, Irene? Yes. Go away. Oh, yes, darling. I'm going. Goodbye, darling. Oh, hello, hello, hurry. Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry. Down, Godfrey. No, not over here. By me. Thank you, miss. Godfrey, would you mind kissing me? Irene, I hardly think. Oh, Godfrey. No, here, no, wait, wait, please, miss Irene. You, wait, wait. We can't talk here. Do you think it's rather indecent of you to order me out after you kiss me? After I kissed you? Don't you remember? Miss Irene hasn't anyone ever told you about certain proprieties. Oh, you use such lovely big words. I like big words. What does it mean? You want me to remain on here as butler, don't you? Of course. I want to justify your faith in me by being a very good butler. And in time, perhaps filling the void created by the death of your late lamented Pomeranian. I've gotten all about him yet, please, anyway. Oh, God, you're different. You use big words, and you're much cuter. May I tell you a story? I 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. Which is someone you know? Her name is Irene Bullock. And if she were a smart little girl, she'd pick out some nice young chap in her own social set and marry him and live happily ever after, and never, never enter the butler's room again. You mean I never, never, never can come in here again? Never. Now, now, come on, out you go. Oh, God, we stop. This way, please. No, no, I'm going to say now, let me go. Outside, please. You'll be sorry. And don't ever come in here again. Bring which Irene has shown an all-too-evident affection for a man, Godfrey. In the bullet-living room, a cocktail party is in progress. Irene, dressed in mourning, watches with tragic eyes as Godfrey moves among the guests. Now, let me see. What did I did? Say, I'm going to tell the difference between stays and props. Order of the sport. Well, oh, yes. Thank you, Godfrey. Hello, everybody. Oh, look, it's Tommy Gray, the polo player. Tommy, come over here. I mean, Cornelia, look who's here. I'm going. Don't go away. Sorry. You, Mr. Gray, some more derv, Godfrey. Mr. Gray? Oh, thank you. Well, if it isn't Godfrey Park. Smith, sir. Godfrey Smith. Smith? What do you mean Smith? Oh, do you know Godfrey, Tommy? No, when we went to Harvard together. Imagine a butler with a college education. Butler, is this a gag? Mr. Gray neglected to tell you that when we were in Harvard together, I was his valet. Was he a good servant, Tommy? Oh, excellent. What's the idea, Godfrey? I'll tell you later. Strange you never gave Mr. Gray as a reference, Godfrey. Well, you see, I left Mr. Gray under very unusual circumstances. What circumstances? I'd rather Mr. Gray told you about that. Oh, yes, go ahead, Tommy. Tell us. Free was working for us as a butler and whatnot. And things were going along very well. But one day, he's sure you don't want to tell this, Godfrey. It was quite some time. And one day, he came to me and he said, Mr. Gray, that my work has been satisfactory. And I said, of course, I've never had more satisfactory work done in my life. And he said, thank you, sir. He was always very courteous, Godfrey was. Then he left? Yes, sir. He decided he had to leave. Why? He decided in favor of his wife and five children. I know the people. I listen to everybody. I want to make an announcement about something. Yes, yes, that's who it is. Johnny Van Rompel, I think that's it. Godfrey, what is all this? Meet me tomorrow at Waldorf Ritzquad, 3 o'clock. I'll explain everything. Isn't this engagement a little sudden? I mean, you shut up. Why don't you wish your luck, Godfrey? Yes, come and congratulate Irene, Godfrey. Certainly. May I congratulate you, Miss Irene? I wish you all the happiness in the world. Well, isn't that funny? Crying at her own engagement party? Sometimes I don't think my daughters are all there. I said you'd meet me here at 3. Sorry, it took me a little longer than usual to make the beds. Oh, what are you drinking? I think I'll have a rousing lemonade. Lemonade? You sure you can handle it? One lemonade, one martini, Joe. Yes, sir. Well, let's have it. Have what? The story. When I wander into that Fifth Avenue asylum and see one of the parks of Boston serving hors d'oeuvre there, it must be a story. Yes, there is, Tommy. You remember that little incident up in Boston? You still have that woman on your mind? Oh, not any more. But I was pretty bitter at the time, so I gave her everything I had and just disappeared. And? But tell me, 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 wandered down to the East River one night, thinking I'd just slide in and get it over with. I met some fellows living there on the city dump. People who were fighting it out, not complaining. I never got as far as the river. What happened? I stopped feeling sorry for myself. I built a shack of my own. I did all sorts of things just to live for. Then, well, when something happened, I got a chance to take this job butling, chance to rehabilitate myself. I took it. And that's all? That's all. But someday, someday, Tommy, I'm going to do a little rehabilitating around that dump. And that's why I'm glad I met you. Me? You're going to help, too. Excuse me, Mr. Gray. Oh, yes. You want a lot of phones, sir? Oh, thanks, sir. Right back, God. Take your time. Good afternoon, Godfrey. Oh, good afternoon, Miss Cornelia. May I sit down? Well, the mystery is solved, isn't it? The mystery, Miss Cornelia? Yes. Now, I know what a butler does on his day off. When you worked for Mr. Gray, were the two of you always this chummy? Well, you see, I am. I worked for Mr. Gray a long time. Well, if you can be so chummy with the grays, why can't you be chummy with the books? I try to keep my place. Why? You're very attractive, you know. As a butler? No. As Mr. Smith, you're a rotten butler. Sorry? We're going to be friends? And I feel that 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 you? Please do. You won't hold it against me. It's your day off. Very well. Miss Cornelia, you belong to that unfortunate category I would call the Park Avenue brat, a spoiled child who has grown up in ease and luxury, who always had her own way and whose misdirected energies are so childish, they hardly deserve to comment even of a butler on his off Thursday. Thank you for a very lovely portrait. Goodbye for now. I'll see you down by the ash pile. Change that order, make it two martinis, double. Selling some buttons on a coat. Oh, oh, it's his coat. Yes, the coat is his. I'd like to throw his buttons on sometime when they come off. I wouldn't mind it all. I could do it down here in the kitchen. He doesn't lose very many. He's very tidy, isn't he? Yes, he's very tidy. What does he do on his day off? He never tells me. He's probably sitting somewhere with some woman on his lap. He's the meanest man I know. I think he's very mean. I'd like to just get out of my room. He saw me. Godfrey. Godfrey didn't do it. Although we don't know very much about him, my sister picked him up on the city dump. Are you accusing Godfrey? I'm not accusing anyone. I want my necklace. It's perfectly silly to think of Godfrey wearing a pearl necklace. Pure quarters, Godfrey. I'd be under the mattress, Cornelia. Yeah, what made you so sure? You mean it this afternoon when you said you missed me? Yes, of course I did. I mean, did you miss Cornelia and me or just me? Oh, I may have missed you a little more than I did Cornelia. Why? Oh, I'm glad. Because if you miss Cornelia more, you probably miss me less. Well, that sounds very logical. Oh, you look so cute in your apron. I'm not trying to look cute. Molly is cold. I'm doubling for her. Would you let me do something if I ask you? Oh, what do you want to do? Why? You can tell me all about your trip. Well, you won't get mad. Why should I? Because every place I went, everybody was Godfrey. Everybody seemed dull, but I do seem to have a little trouble if you're following you at times. Well, for instance, whenever I go in a restaurant in Paris or any place, I close my eyes and say, the waiter was Godfrey. And I say, I'm home, and he's serving me dinner. It made everything taste better. And when I get in the cab, I think the driver's Godfrey. Oh, and then we went to Venice. And one night I went for a ride in one of those robos that the man pushed with a stick. Not a matador. That was in Spain, but something like a matador. But do you by any chance mean a gondola? Yeah, both are named with a boat. And the man that pushed it sang. He looked just like you. Oh, it was wonderful. Look, do you mind if I talk for a little bit while you catch your breath? I'd love it. Well, while you've been away, I've been doing some things also. I've been trying to do things that I thought would make you proud of me. Oh, I was proud of you before I went away. Oh, yes, but I mean proudest still, you see. Well, you helped me to find myself. I'm very grateful. You make a wonderful husband. No, I'm afraid not. But I'd make a wonderful wife. Not for me, I'm afraid. But we are friends, and 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 I was moving on. Godfrey. No, no, no, please, please don't cry. I won't cry, I promise. I'm your protege, and you want me to improve myself, don't you? I want you to be anything you want to be. Well, it's very sweet. When are you leaving? Pretty soon, but well, I'll call you up every now and then. We'll have long chats, and I'll tell you how I'm getting along. We'll have lots of fun. Are you going back to her? To whom? Your wife. Wife? Oh, she was just a fabrication. Oh. Of course not. And there are any five children? Well, it couldn't be very well. A little matter I'd like to talk over with you. I know some people on the boat coming over, a Boston family. They know a great deal about a family called The Park. Are you interested, Godfrey? Slightly, yes. Well, we can't talk here very well. Let's you and I take a long taxi ride up then Courtland Way. I heard what you said. Did you? He's not going out with you. No, yes he is. If he knows what's good for him, I'll be waiting, Godfrey. He's not going, he's not. Oh, Godfrey, you can't go out with Cornelia. But I didn't say I was going any place with Ms. Cornelia. Oh, I know, but you will. She always gets the wrong way. She makes everybody do just as she likes. Why should you care whether or not I meet her? Oh, I do care. That's why. Cornelia is the one who doesn't care. I think I should decide those things for myself. Oh, Godfrey, I don't want to be annoying, but I, oh. Here, Ms. Irene, you, come on, come on, get up. Open your eyes. You hear me? Open your eyes. If you're faking another spell, you're on the wrong track. Are you faking? You're not. All right, we'll soon find out. Here, now. Oh, she goes. That's the girl. Oh, I'll just carry her inside. Godfrey knows how to take care of little Irene when she faints. Godfrey will take care of everything. Right in here we go. Oh, does Irene know where she is now? No, no. Irene has her eyes closed. She's fainted. Godfrey will soon fix Irene. Just a grill. Everything will be fine in just a minute. The best thing for the faints is a nice, cold shower bath. Nidia, listen inattentively. Mr. Bullock, entering from the hall, surveys the scene gloomily. Oh, follow me. I told him to shut up. Well, I never did. And you can shut up with him. Oh, Cornelia. Let him knock my mouth. Well, don't. I've got some news for you that'll open it fast enough. Now, listen and listen carefully, because it hurts me to repeat it. The Bullock's. You are broke. She is broke. We are all. Not only that, but I've been using the company's money for the last month to speculate with. And I've lost. You hear that? I've lost. That means I'm an embezzler. If I can hold him a wad of money by the first of the month, I'm going to jail. Isn't that an interesting story? I certainly think it was very foolish of you. You have no right to do it. And I'm an embezzler to think that I have been a guest in your house. Is there nothing left? Now, the scent of food and drink have turned to dirt in my mouth. Carlo, will you step into the hall for a moment? What for? I want to speak to you as man to man. You have found the way out? Yes. For one of us, anyhow. Excuse me, please. Did you say to Carlo? I said goodbye. Very hurriedly, but I dwindle. I think I've been expecting it. We all have to go sooner or later. Oh, you're so smart, Godfrey. Maybe you can tell me why Mr. Bullock has to go to jail. Mother! No, I'm sure Mr. Bullock doesn't have to go to jail. Oh, yes, I do. Oh, no, sir. You see, I've known for some time, sir, that the Bullock interests are in rather a bad way. Why, how did you know that? Oh, I follow the market a bit. So I took the liberty of dabbling in some stock on my own account. Here, sir. What's this? That's most of your stock. I knew it was being dumped on the market. I also knew somebody was going to be caught short. Short? You mean gentlemen's short? No, just a minute, just a minute, please. Do you mean to Godfrey that you've been making money while I was losing it? Well, I did it in your interest, sir. I felt I owed your family a debt. I hope I've repaid it. I may add some of the money went into a project of my own. I hope you won't mind, sir. You mean you did all that on $150 a month? Well, hardly. You see, with the aid of Tommy Gray, I was able to transmute a certain trinket into gold and then into stock and then back into pearls again. Thank you, Miss Cornelia, for the use of this trinket. Your pearls, Miss Cornelia. Oh, Godfrey, then you did steal the master role. Well, I... I put the pearls under Gottrey's mattress. Thank you, Miss Cornelia. I hoped you'd say that. Here, Gottrey. These pearls are rightly yours. No, thank you. I've 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. Oh, no, I've been repaid in many ways. I learned patience from Mr. Bullock. I found Mrs. Bullock at all times, shall we say, amusing. Oh, that's very complimentary of you, Gottrey. What good did you find in me, if any? A great deal, Miss Cornelia. You taught me the fallacy of false pride. You taught me humility. I don't understand you. Oh, Miss Cornelia, there 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 will use those high spirits in a more constructive way. So, that girl's a great guy. Sir Cornelia, I don't know. Just a minute, Gottrey, is this where my money went to do a nightclub? Well, some of yours is all of mine. I'm in my office. All right, by the way, what happens to the profits from this place? Well, so far, we're giving food and shelter to 50 people in the winter and giving them employment in the summer. But what do you want? Nothing, but you're the most arbitrary butler I've ever met. Oh, Eckon, you mean Irene? Well, why don't you marry her? No, a company. Irene, what are you doing here? Yes, I'm off the hook, Irene. I won't. Much nicer than when I was here before, men having a party. Well, it's their annual reunion. I saw the mayor out there. Is he one of them two? Well, he's the guest of honor. It's a lovely view, the bridge and everything. Is it always there? Well, I'm going to like this place very much. What's over here? Is this where you sleep? Perhaps the general purpose of the room. Any observations? Oh, I think it's very cute, but we'll have to change the wallpaper. What do you mean, we'll have to change the wallpaper? Oh, I don't like green wallpaper. It makes me billiard. Well, you won't have to look at it. You're going home right now. But I can't go home. I can't. Now, see here, you simply must. Oh, go on and lose your temper. I love it when you lose your temper. Why can't you leave me alone? Because you're my responsibility, and someone has to take care of you. I can take care of myself. You can't look me in the eye and say that. You love me, and you know it. You know, there's no sense of struggling with a thing when it's got you. It's got you, and that's all there's to it. It's got you. But you, may I come in? Oh, oh, Mayor Cortman. Mr. Gray said there were a couple of people in here who wanted to get married. Yes, we're at Mayor Cortland. Irene! Can you guys, without a license? Without a license? Well, it may get me into a lot of trouble, but I guess I've known your family long enough to take a chance. Does your father know about this? Oh, everybody knows about it, except Gottfried. Now, come on, Gottfried, we're all set. Just join hands, please. No, wait. Listen, Irene, we can't do it. You can't. I, I... Now, just stand still, Gottfried. We'll all be over in a minute. And her man, Jeff Jenner. Mr. Cummings, you'll have us an item in a gossip column tomorrow morning. Is that bad? When I was a young man, I didn't mind being mentioned with a beautiful young lady, particularly when she was such a gorgeous luxe complexion. Well, now, I certainly don't mind. As a matter of fact, Julie is one of my favorite luxe girls. Now, it's time for Virginia Gregor's, Cornelia, Eleanor Aldear's, Angelica, Ellen Reader's, Lord Carlton Young's, Tommy, Yvonne Patey as Molly, Chef Mankin as Carlo, and Barney Phillips, Joe Forte, George Neese, Stanley Farrar, Barbara Ehler, and Eddie Marr. My Man Gottfried was based on the story by Eric Hatch, who also co-authored the screenplay.
