1
00:01:15,024 --> 00:01:18,892
Hark !!  The herald angels sing

2
00:01:18,994 --> 00:01:23,090
Glory to the newborn King

3
00:01:23,199 --> 00:01:27,226
Peace on earth and mercy mild

4
00:01:27,303 --> 00:01:31,797
God and sinners reconcile

5
00:01:31,874 --> 00:01:35,810
Joyful, all ya nations rise

6
00:01:35,911 --> 00:01:39,972
Join the triumph of the skies

7
00:01:40,049 --> 00:01:44,213
With th'angelic hosts proclaim

8
00:01:44,320 --> 00:01:48,689
Christ is born in Bethlehem

9
00:01:48,791 --> 00:01:52,852
Hark!!  The herald angels sing

10
00:01:52,928 --> 00:01:57,456
Glory to the newborn King

11
00:01:57,566 --> 00:02:01,502
Hail the heaven-born Prince of Peace

12
00:02:01,604 --> 00:02:05,904
Hail the Son of Righteousness

13
00:02:06,008 --> 00:02:09,876
Light and life to all He brings

14
00:02:09,979 --> 00:02:13,972
Risen with healing in His wings

15
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:41,980
This is very kind of you.
- lt's a privilege.

16
00:02:54,223 --> 00:02:57,593
Which way are you going?
- Just over there. The Mutual building.

17
00:02:57,693 --> 00:03:01,527
My doctor's there. See, l have hopes.
- Fine.

18
00:03:01,597 --> 00:03:03,833
l'm all right now.
- Good luck to you.

19
00:03:03,933 --> 00:03:06,535
Thank you so much.
Merry Christmas to you.

20
00:03:06,635 --> 00:03:08,635
Merry Christmas.

21
00:03:28,524 --> 00:03:30,893
Mother, please!
Please lift me up!

22
00:03:30,993 --> 00:03:33,373
All right.
Just for a minute.

23
00:03:35,664 --> 00:03:37,664
Look at that, Mom!

24
00:03:37,666 --> 00:03:39,602
Look at the funny choo-choo train!

25
00:03:39,702 --> 00:03:42,671
Come on, darling.
We have to go.

26
00:03:46,909 --> 00:03:48,909
Oh, my baby!

27
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:55,444
You saved her!
Thank God, you saved my baby!

28
00:03:55,551 --> 00:03:58,954
How can l ever thank you?
- Just don't let it happen again.

29
00:03:59,054 --> 00:04:02,625
l promise you, l won't.
- Remember that. Now on your way.

30
00:04:02,725 --> 00:04:04,725
Yes.

31
00:04:47,970 --> 00:04:52,305
Mostly resembles its cousin,
the California red fir.

32
00:04:52,508 --> 00:04:54,643
His botanical head is similar.

33
00:04:54,743 --> 00:04:58,823
Pay me heed.
This is a specimen of the white fir.

34
00:05:00,049 --> 00:05:02,818
Surely, you being a native Roman
know your Latin.

35
00:05:02,918 --> 00:05:04,918
You wanna buy or not?

36
00:05:07,222 --> 00:05:10,659
lf it isn't my dear, beautiful Julia.
- Hello, Professor.

37
00:05:10,759 --> 00:05:13,095
What are you doing in this part of town?

38
00:05:13,195 --> 00:05:15,531
Buying a Christmas tree.
Hello, Mr. Maggenti.

39
00:05:15,631 --> 00:05:19,935
Mrs. Brougham, how do you do?
- What do you charge for this weed?

40
00:05:20,035 --> 00:05:24,972
$1 .85.
- For this halfhearted twig?

41
00:05:25,074 --> 00:05:29,812
l'll pay you 10 cents a branch
or take my trade elsewhere.

42
00:05:29,912 --> 00:05:33,716
What can l do for you?
- You can save me that tree outside.

43
00:05:33,816 --> 00:05:36,051
The big one by the door.
- Okay.

44
00:05:36,151 --> 00:05:39,522
Thank you.
- Each Christmas for the past 18 years...

45
00:05:39,622 --> 00:05:42,658
Maggenti and l have been reenacting
the same argument.

46
00:05:42,758 --> 00:05:44,660
l didn't know you celebrated Christmas.

47
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:47,930
l thought you had no religion.
- That's true, my dear.

48
00:05:48,030 --> 00:05:51,934
But l like having a Christmas tree
because it reminds me of my childhood.

49
00:05:52,034 --> 00:05:56,937
l feel that this is a good time
for looking backwards.

50
00:05:57,006 --> 00:05:59,909
Can you imagine me
ever having been a child?

51
00:06:00,009 --> 00:06:03,239
How's Henry?
l haven't seen him lately.

52
00:06:03,946 --> 00:06:05,946
He's well, thank you.

53
00:06:06,849 --> 00:06:09,569
He's terribly tired and worried.

54
00:06:09,818 --> 00:06:13,622
ls he having difficulty
raising money for the cathedral?

55
00:06:13,722 --> 00:06:15,952
Yes.
lt's slow work.

56
00:06:17,626 --> 00:06:20,496
How's your book coming?
- Splendidly.

57
00:06:20,596 --> 00:06:22,765
Greatest history of Rome since Gibbon.

58
00:06:22,865 --> 00:06:25,034
Of course,
nobody will read it.

59
00:06:25,134 --> 00:06:30,406
And now, my good man, l choose not
to prolong this bickering any further.

60
00:06:30,506 --> 00:06:33,441
All right.
Ten cents a branch.

61
00:06:36,578 --> 00:06:39,148
lt's $1 .40.
- Very well, my old friend.

62
00:06:39,248 --> 00:06:41,150
Here is your blood money.

63
00:06:41,250 --> 00:06:44,853
Will you send the tree up on
Christmas Eve? But not until late.

64
00:06:44,953 --> 00:06:47,189
l don't want my daughter seeing it.
- Don't worry.

65
00:06:47,289 --> 00:06:49,758
l'll send it
when the little bambino goes to bed.

66
00:06:49,858 --> 00:06:51,858
Merry Christmas.

67
00:06:54,563 --> 00:06:56,563
Come on.

68
00:07:02,571 --> 00:07:07,042
There's something l'd like you to give
Henry for his cathedral fund.

69
00:07:07,142 --> 00:07:09,142
That's my lucky piece.

70
00:07:09,178 --> 00:07:12,414
Not that it's brought me any luck,
except knowing you.

71
00:07:12,514 --> 00:07:16,485
lt's an old Roman coin. l picked it up
years ago in a junk shop.

72
00:07:16,585 --> 00:07:18,153
lt has little value.

73
00:07:18,253 --> 00:07:21,780
lt's a wonderful contribution.
- Nonsense.

74
00:07:21,890 --> 00:07:24,460
lt might be called the widow's might...

75
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:28,197
if it weren't for the fact that l'm not a widow.

76
00:07:28,297 --> 00:07:31,926
Julia, this is no occasion for tears.

77
00:07:32,034 --> 00:07:34,764
lt stopped snowing.

78
00:07:34,870 --> 00:07:37,906
lf only we could spend Christmas here
where we were so happy...

79
00:07:38,006 --> 00:07:39,908
with you and our friends.

80
00:07:40,008 --> 00:07:42,008
Now, now.

81
00:07:44,179 --> 00:07:48,884
Good night. l'll see you again soon.
- lt can't be soon enough.

82
00:07:48,984 --> 00:07:51,043
Good night, Julia.

83
00:07:58,761 --> 00:08:02,765
Professor! How fine
to see you again after all these years!

84
00:08:02,865 --> 00:08:04,933
How well you look.
- How are you?

85
00:08:05,033 --> 00:08:08,943
Never better. And you?
- Quite well, thank you.

86
00:08:10,172 --> 00:08:14,076
l don't think you remember me.
- Preposterous! Of course l do.

87
00:08:14,176 --> 00:08:17,413
Where did we meet?
- Professor, after all these years.

88
00:08:17,513 --> 00:08:20,616
Just a moment.
lt wasn't Vienna, was it?

89
00:08:20,716 --> 00:08:23,052
Beautiful, old Vienna.
- The university?

90
00:08:23,152 --> 00:08:25,888
The university.
- When l lectured on Roman history.

91
00:08:25,988 --> 00:08:28,590
That's it.
And what great lectures they were.

92
00:08:28,690 --> 00:08:32,394
And what you were with the ladies!
- Fancy, you remembering that.

93
00:08:32,494 --> 00:08:34,396
l must confess,
l had my moments.

94
00:08:34,496 --> 00:08:36,691
And still have.

95
00:08:36,765 --> 00:08:38,667
Where are you going?
- That car!

96
00:08:38,767 --> 00:08:42,805
l couldn't help noticing
your tender parting from Julia.

97
00:08:42,905 --> 00:08:45,007
Do you know Julia?
- ln a way, yes.

98
00:08:45,107 --> 00:08:47,402
Poor child.
- She's unhappy?

99
00:08:48,811 --> 00:08:52,614
When were you in Vienna?
- l've been there many times.

100
00:08:52,714 --> 00:08:55,451
l'm interested in Julia and Henry.

101
00:08:55,551 --> 00:08:58,687
What seems to be their trouble?
- l never see Henry anymore.

102
00:08:58,787 --> 00:09:01,056
He has no time for riffraff like me.

103
00:09:01,156 --> 00:09:04,526
He now consults with the vulgar rich,
like Mrs. Hamilton.

104
00:09:04,626 --> 00:09:07,663
You know, she had me fired
from the university here?

105
00:09:07,763 --> 00:09:11,633
Said l was a radical. l, who've never
taken any interest in politics...

106
00:09:11,733 --> 00:09:13,773
since the death of Nero.

107
00:09:13,802 --> 00:09:15,802
Look at that.

108
00:09:15,804 --> 00:09:21,376
Henry's old church,
perishing from neglect.

109
00:09:21,476 --> 00:09:24,913
lt's such a nice, little church.
- Too little, l'm afraid.

110
00:09:25,013 --> 00:09:28,484
lt can't stand up
against the march of progress.

111
00:09:28,584 --> 00:09:30,584
l must be pushing on.

112
00:09:30,586 --> 00:09:32,588
Delighted to have seen you.
- lt's a pleasure.

113
00:09:32,688 --> 00:09:37,250
We must get together and have a drink.
- By all means!

114
00:09:39,027 --> 00:09:41,577
Good evening, Professor.
- Pat.

115
00:09:41,630 --> 00:09:44,520
Have you any idea who that man is?

116
00:09:44,533 --> 00:09:46,743
No. He's a stranger to me.

117
00:09:55,711 --> 00:09:58,380
Good evening, Mrs. Brougham.
- Good evening, Matilda.

118
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:00,582
Hello, Queenie.
ls Debby in bed yet?

119
00:10:00,682 --> 00:10:05,387
Yes. Mrs. Hamilton and the committee
are in there with the bishop.

120
00:10:05,487 --> 00:10:09,725
The dinner's been waiting a long time.
l don't know what to do about it.

121
00:10:09,825 --> 00:10:12,461
We'll have dinner as soon as they leave.

122
00:10:12,561 --> 00:10:15,597
What about the chicken--
- Don't worry about it, please.

123
00:10:15,697 --> 00:10:17,697
Here. Thank you.

124
00:10:19,268 --> 00:10:21,268
My bag.

125
00:10:23,639 --> 00:10:25,639
There. Thank you.

126
00:10:27,876 --> 00:10:31,616
l'm very displeased
with your whole attitude.

127
00:10:33,015 --> 00:10:35,650
l'm terribly sorry l'm so late.

128
00:10:35,651 --> 00:10:38,921
Good evening, Mrs. Hamilton.
l was delayed Christmas shopping.

129
00:10:39,021 --> 00:10:41,089
Good evening, Mr. Perry, Mrs. Trumbuss.

130
00:10:41,189 --> 00:10:43,817
Hello, Mrs. Ward.

131
00:10:43,926 --> 00:10:45,828
l hope you've been having a good meeting.

132
00:10:45,928 --> 00:10:50,465
We have not. l've never encountered
such fuzzy thinking.

133
00:10:50,565 --> 00:10:53,368
Do you think we've made progress?
- No, Mrs. Hamilton.

134
00:10:53,468 --> 00:10:55,404
Mr. Perry was about to tell us something.

135
00:10:55,504 --> 00:10:58,649
Merely a suggestion.
lf you approve...

136
00:10:58,674 --> 00:11:02,945
we can place the George B. Hamilton
chapel here on the northeast.

137
00:11:03,045 --> 00:11:05,714
lt'd be out of sight.
l won't stand for it.

138
00:11:05,814 --> 00:11:10,152
This cathedral can't be designed
for the glory of an individual.

139
00:11:10,252 --> 00:11:12,120
lt has to be created for all the people.

140
00:11:12,220 --> 00:11:14,990
l'm displeased at your whole attitude.

141
00:11:15,090 --> 00:11:17,626
You forget l was instrumental
in having you made bishop...

142
00:11:17,726 --> 00:11:19,661
although l thought you too young.

143
00:11:19,761 --> 00:11:22,030
ls that an exaggeration?
- Oh, yes--

144
00:11:22,130 --> 00:11:25,930
l mean, no.
- You were the guiding spirit.

145
00:11:26,034 --> 00:11:28,670
l distinctly remember--
- l had every confidence in you...

146
00:11:28,770 --> 00:11:30,873
when you were a poor parson
in the church in the slums.

147
00:11:30,973 --> 00:11:33,075
l confess, my confidence is weakened.

148
00:11:33,175 --> 00:11:35,377
l regret l've been such a disappointment.

149
00:11:35,477 --> 00:11:37,646
Regrets and apologies are no good.

150
00:11:37,746 --> 00:11:42,150
You give the impression of being
indecisive and ineffectual.

151
00:11:42,250 --> 00:11:45,587
That is not the kind of leadership
we expect of our bishop.

152
00:11:45,687 --> 00:11:49,958
You better remember one thing: You'll
build that cathedral as l want it...

153
00:11:50,058 --> 00:11:51,960
or you'll not build it at all.

154
00:11:52,060 --> 00:11:54,185
That's all l have to say.

155
00:11:55,063 --> 00:11:57,866
Someone get this dog out of the way.

156
00:11:57,966 --> 00:11:59,966
Queenie.

157
00:12:01,003 --> 00:12:03,003
Good night.

158
00:12:03,005 --> 00:12:04,573
Good evening.
- Good night.

159
00:12:04,673 --> 00:12:06,673
Good evening.

160
00:12:20,022 --> 00:12:22,391
Can we serve dinner now?
- Yes.

161
00:12:22,491 --> 00:12:27,421
The chicken will be burned to a crisp.
- We'll be right in.

162
00:12:30,032 --> 00:12:33,168
You knew they were expected here
for the meeting this afternoon.

163
00:12:33,268 --> 00:12:37,406
l know. l'm sorry l was late.
- What a ghastly afternoon.

164
00:12:37,506 --> 00:12:39,506
What a ghastly woman.

165
00:12:39,508 --> 00:12:42,411
l trust she understood l've no intention
of being strangled by her purse strings.

166
00:12:42,511 --> 00:12:45,080
She did. l was proud of you.
- l had a most unchristian impulse...

167
00:12:45,180 --> 00:12:48,116
to take those blueprints
and give her a good whack over the--

168
00:12:48,216 --> 00:12:49,885
mink coat.

169
00:12:49,985 --> 00:12:51,954
l thought you stood up to her magnificently.

170
00:12:52,054 --> 00:12:55,824
l appreciate your appreciation,
but what about my cathedral?

171
00:12:55,924 --> 00:12:59,628
May l make a suggestion?
Postpone the cathedral.

172
00:12:59,728 --> 00:13:04,032
Forget about it until after Christmas.
- A house of God can't be put off.

173
00:13:04,132 --> 00:13:06,969
This cathedral must rise. There are
other rich people in this town...

174
00:13:07,069 --> 00:13:09,538
and if l have to enlist
their financial enthusiasm...

175
00:13:09,638 --> 00:13:11,540
then l'll take advantage
of their yuletide spirit.

176
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:13,767
l can see it all now.

177
00:13:13,875 --> 00:13:19,648
Those people, the luncheons, committee
meetings and you there, flattering them.

178
00:13:19,748 --> 00:13:22,784
Kowtowing and begging them.
- lt's got to be done.

179
00:13:22,884 --> 00:13:25,921
lf you could see your poor, harassed face.

180
00:13:26,021 --> 00:13:29,825
You haven't done much to help it!
- Why-- Yes, Miss Cassaway? What is it?

181
00:13:29,925 --> 00:13:32,361
Mr. Trevor on the phone.
He says it's urgent.

182
00:13:32,461 --> 00:13:37,561
Tell him the bishop will call him back.
- Yes, Mrs. Brougham.

183
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:42,437
What's happened to you?
What's happened to us and our marriage?

184
00:13:42,537 --> 00:13:45,807
We used to have such fun,
you, Debby and l.

185
00:13:45,907 --> 00:13:48,877
We used to be happy.
We used to make other people happy.

186
00:13:48,977 --> 00:13:52,914
That was your gift. You're no financier
and you're not a promoter.

187
00:13:53,014 --> 00:13:55,984
You can't see beyond your nose.
l want this cathedral to stand...

188
00:13:56,084 --> 00:13:57,986
like a great beacon,
it's light shining--

189
00:13:58,086 --> 00:14:03,186
Never mind, Henry. Keep that
for your next committee meeting.

190
00:14:07,562 --> 00:14:10,452
Here's a contribution l collected.

191
00:14:10,765 --> 00:14:12,968
What's that?
- An old Roman coin.

192
00:14:13,068 --> 00:14:16,104
Professor Wutheridge sent it to you.
Wasn't it sweet of him?

193
00:14:16,204 --> 00:14:18,807
Old fool.
What can l do with that?

194
00:14:18,907 --> 00:14:21,842
Well. lt's a beginning.

195
00:14:21,943 --> 00:14:27,723
All you need is another four million.
- Don't be flippant about this!

196
00:14:30,719 --> 00:14:33,085
ls dinner ready?
- Yes.

197
00:14:33,188 --> 00:14:37,438
Let's get it over with.
l have a lot of work to do.

198
00:14:46,935 --> 00:14:53,225
For what we're about to receive, may the
Lord make us truly thankful. Amen.

199
00:15:20,835 --> 00:15:22,704
l was just thinking...

200
00:15:22,804 --> 00:15:26,204
tomorrow,
maybe we could go out together.

201
00:15:26,241 --> 00:15:27,943
Where?

202
00:15:28,043 --> 00:15:31,613
We'll just walk around the way we used to.

203
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:35,115
We could call on the professor.

204
00:15:35,116 --> 00:15:38,854
Or go to the park and watch
the skaters-- that sort of thing.

205
00:15:38,954 --> 00:15:41,089
Maybe we could have lunch together.

206
00:15:41,189 --> 00:15:43,487
At Michel's.
Remember that?

207
00:15:43,558 --> 00:15:45,558
Michel's.

208
00:15:46,695 --> 00:15:50,010
lt's been years since we've been there.

209
00:15:50,932 --> 00:15:53,802
Forgive me. l've been trying
to explain to Mr. Trevor...

210
00:15:53,902 --> 00:15:57,506
but he insists upon
speaking to you personally, Bishop.

211
00:15:57,606 --> 00:15:59,606
Excuse me, darling.

212
00:16:04,045 --> 00:16:07,582
Keep the soup warm, please.
The bishop's been called to the phone.

213
00:16:07,682 --> 00:16:09,918
And tell Delia
we'll be out for lunch tomorrow.

214
00:16:10,018 --> 00:16:12,018
Yes, ma'am.

215
00:16:12,988 --> 00:16:15,708
Of course, Mr. Trevor.
Yes, but--

216
00:16:16,625 --> 00:16:19,345
l appreciate your difficulties--

217
00:16:21,196 --> 00:16:23,632
Very well. l'll be there.
10:30 tomorrow morning...

218
00:16:23,732 --> 00:16:25,600
then we'll go on to the board meeting.

219
00:16:25,700 --> 00:16:28,066
All right.
Good-bye.

220
00:16:29,604 --> 00:16:31,773
Put down Mr. Trevor's office
at 10:30 tomorrow...

221
00:16:31,873 --> 00:16:34,442
and the board meeting at
the bankers' club at 11:00.

222
00:16:34,542 --> 00:16:37,712
Yes, sir. Tomorrow, Thursday.
- You might as well go home now.

223
00:16:37,812 --> 00:16:40,749
There's a great deal of work to do.
- You must be very tired.

224
00:16:40,849 --> 00:16:45,153
Thank you. And don't forget, tomorrow
you speak to the junior assembly.

225
00:16:45,253 --> 00:16:47,422
What time is that?
- At lunch, 1:00.

226
00:16:47,522 --> 00:16:51,857
Remember, you made the appointment
over a month ago.

227
00:16:52,494 --> 00:16:55,214
Good night, Bishop.
- Good night.

228
00:17:04,773 --> 00:17:07,503
Oh, God.
What am l to do?

229
00:17:08,777 --> 00:17:11,837
Can't you help me?
Can't you tell me?

230
00:17:12,981 --> 00:17:15,040
Oh, God.
Please help me.

231
00:17:54,055 --> 00:17:56,055
Good evening.
- Good--

232
00:17:57,092 --> 00:17:59,151
What can l do for you?

233
00:17:59,427 --> 00:18:01,363
That isn't the question.

234
00:18:01,463 --> 00:18:03,954
Well, what is?

235
00:18:04,065 --> 00:18:06,659
What can l do for you?

236
00:18:06,768 --> 00:18:09,337
l must ask you to telephone
my secretary for an appointment.

237
00:18:09,437 --> 00:18:11,840
l'm in the middle of dinner.
- l know, Henry.

238
00:18:11,940 --> 00:18:15,933
Your soup will keep warm.
You asked for help.

239
00:18:16,044 --> 00:18:18,410
l? l--

240
00:18:19,547 --> 00:18:21,082
Who told you?

241
00:18:21,182 --> 00:18:23,051
Well.

242
00:18:23,151 --> 00:18:26,154
You're known to be a good man
and you were heard.

243
00:18:26,254 --> 00:18:29,057
l was instructed to come here
in answer to your prayer.

244
00:18:29,157 --> 00:18:31,452
Who are you?
- l'm an angel.

245
00:18:33,461 --> 00:18:36,726
l beg your pardon?
- l'm an angel.

246
00:18:36,831 --> 00:18:40,368
No wings at the moment, but--
- You're an angel?

247
00:18:40,468 --> 00:18:43,665
l knew it.
l've been working too hard.

248
00:18:49,144 --> 00:18:53,081
l understand.
lt's hard to believe, even for you.

249
00:18:53,181 --> 00:18:55,750
Of course, l'm not
one of the more important angels.

250
00:18:55,850 --> 00:18:59,154
l just happen to be assigned
to this district temporarily.

251
00:18:59,254 --> 00:19:01,122
You see, we're everywhere...

252
00:19:01,222 --> 00:19:04,112
helping people who deserve to be--

253
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:07,128
to be helped.

254
00:19:07,228 --> 00:19:09,898
As you walk through
the streets of the city...

255
00:19:09,998 --> 00:19:12,067
you may suddenly look into a strange face.

256
00:19:12,167 --> 00:19:17,777
lt may be the face of a murderer
or it may be the face of an angel.

257
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:21,743
You're having problems with
the building of this cathedral?

258
00:19:21,843 --> 00:19:25,643
Yes.
- lt's a fine cathedral.

259
00:19:25,747 --> 00:19:30,252
lt ought to look magnificent
on top of Sanctuary Hill.

260
00:19:32,687 --> 00:19:36,851
Well, Henry. Do you believe
l am what l say l am?

261
00:19:36,958 --> 00:19:38,660
Well, how can l?

262
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:41,096
l've only got your word for it.
- But you're a bishop.

263
00:19:41,196 --> 00:19:43,665
You, of all people,
can trust the word of an angel.

264
00:19:43,765 --> 00:19:45,765
l'd like to.

265
00:19:45,767 --> 00:19:48,600
What do you propose to do?

266
00:19:48,703 --> 00:19:50,839
Perform a miracle?
- lf necessary.

267
00:19:50,939 --> 00:19:54,943
Why don't you? Why don't you create
the cathedral with a wave of your hand?

268
00:19:55,043 --> 00:19:57,946
You wouldn't want me to do that.
How would you explain it?

269
00:19:58,046 --> 00:20:01,716
Well, l'd--
- Tell the world an angel visited you?

270
00:20:01,816 --> 00:20:03,816
You can't do that.

271
00:20:06,488 --> 00:20:08,718
ls anything wrong?
l--

272
00:20:08,823 --> 00:20:10,859
l'm sorry.
l didn't know that you had--

273
00:20:10,959 --> 00:20:14,863
Julia, if you don't mind.
- How do you do, Julia?

274
00:20:14,963 --> 00:20:19,000
l'm Dudley. Henry's engaged me
to help him with his work.

275
00:20:19,100 --> 00:20:21,503
You mean you're going to be his assistant?

276
00:20:21,603 --> 00:20:25,907
That's it. l'm going to help Henry
to rest and get some relaxation.

277
00:20:26,007 --> 00:20:28,643
That's what l've been praying for.
- You too?

278
00:20:28,743 --> 00:20:30,743
l'm so relieved.

279
00:20:30,845 --> 00:20:32,847
lsn't it wonderful
you found someone to help you.

280
00:20:32,947 --> 00:20:34,749
But--
- Where do you come from?

281
00:20:34,849 --> 00:20:36,951
All around.
- Yes, but where?

282
00:20:37,051 --> 00:20:40,961
To tell you the truth,
he says that he's an a--

283
00:20:41,823 --> 00:20:44,592
l've been doing some
social service work downtown.

284
00:20:44,692 --> 00:20:46,795
And now you're going to be
with Henry permanently?

285
00:20:46,895 --> 00:20:49,615
For as long as may be necessary.

286
00:20:49,664 --> 00:20:52,133
lf you don't mind,
l must talk to this gentleman alone.

287
00:20:52,233 --> 00:20:54,531
l'll see you in a moment.

288
00:20:54,636 --> 00:20:57,605
We were just having dinner.
Won't you join us?

289
00:20:57,705 --> 00:21:00,909
That's kind of you,
but l've many things to do around town.

290
00:21:01,009 --> 00:21:04,646
You understand, Henry. So many people
making so many mistakes.

291
00:21:04,746 --> 00:21:07,615
Yes, l see.
- Then we'll see you tomorrow?

292
00:21:07,715 --> 00:21:10,385
Oh, yes. Bright and early.
- Good.

293
00:21:10,485 --> 00:21:12,817
Whenever you're ready.

294
00:21:12,921 --> 00:21:14,921
Good night, Dudley.

295
00:21:14,989 --> 00:21:16,989
Good night, Julia.

296
00:21:23,031 --> 00:21:24,999
You sure you're an angel?

297
00:21:25,099 --> 00:21:28,503
l know it isn't easy,
but you've got to take me on faith.

298
00:21:28,603 --> 00:21:32,040
But how long will it take?
- Just long enough.

299
00:21:32,140 --> 00:21:36,845
Until you can utter another prayer
and say you have no further need of me.

300
00:21:36,945 --> 00:21:40,142
Then l'll be gone and forgotten.

301
00:21:40,415 --> 00:21:42,984
But Julia's waiting for you
at the dining table.

302
00:21:43,084 --> 00:21:45,084
You must go to her.

303
00:21:49,090 --> 00:21:51,558
But l don't--

304
00:22:35,470 --> 00:22:38,275
What's the rest of Dudley's name?

305
00:22:39,641 --> 00:22:41,641
l don't know.

306
00:22:48,750 --> 00:22:50,750
Are you nervous, dear?

307
00:22:51,853 --> 00:22:53,853
No.

308
00:23:10,204 --> 00:23:14,475
The bishop didn't eat his breakfast.
- He took only his prune juice.

309
00:23:14,575 --> 00:23:16,678
What's the matter?
ls he sick?

310
00:23:16,778 --> 00:23:21,516
He looked awful. He said he had
a very bad, sleepless night.

311
00:23:21,616 --> 00:23:24,319
Passing up a breakfast like that.

312
00:23:24,419 --> 00:23:26,512
That just ain't normal.

313
00:23:26,621 --> 00:23:30,531
Nobody expects him to be normal.
He's a bishop.

314
00:23:42,770 --> 00:23:45,873
lf l could get you something, sir?
- No, thank you.

315
00:23:45,973 --> 00:23:48,977
Maybe just a cup of tea?
- Nothing, thank you.

316
00:23:49,077 --> 00:23:52,137
Good morning.
- Good morning, Bishop.

317
00:23:55,483 --> 00:23:57,785
Did anything come in
for the cathedral fund?

318
00:23:57,885 --> 00:24:00,622
Mr. and Mrs. Ward,
no contribution.

319
00:24:00,722 --> 00:24:05,853
Mrs. Wilmark, $15.00.
- We had her down for $10,000.

320
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:08,129
There's a letter from her explaining
that this year--

321
00:24:08,229 --> 00:24:11,164
l know.
Same letter they all write.

322
00:24:11,232 --> 00:24:14,969
l put your personal mail on the desk.
The rest l'm taking to the office.

323
00:24:15,069 --> 00:24:17,874
l'll be there after the meetings.

324
00:24:42,897 --> 00:24:45,500
l think there's someone at the door.

325
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:47,600
Yes, sir.

326
00:24:49,103 --> 00:24:52,707
Good morning.
l'm Dudley, the bishop's new assistant.

327
00:24:52,807 --> 00:24:54,776
Good morning.
lt's a wonderful morning.

328
00:24:54,876 --> 00:24:57,011
l'm a little late,
but l stopped to chat...

329
00:24:57,111 --> 00:25:00,548
with a traffic policeman
who was worried about his wife.

330
00:25:00,648 --> 00:25:02,648
Oh, thank you, dear.

331
00:25:02,717 --> 00:25:04,952
So l directed traffic
while he telephoned the hospital.

332
00:25:05,052 --> 00:25:08,647
l see.
- She's doing fine. So is the baby.

333
00:25:08,756 --> 00:25:12,836
Why, you must be Mildred Cassaway.
How do you do?

334
00:25:14,829 --> 00:25:17,598
We're going to be working together.
- That's very nice.

335
00:25:17,698 --> 00:25:19,893
Thank you.

336
00:25:20,001 --> 00:25:23,061
Thank you very much.
- See you later.

337
00:25:24,705 --> 00:25:27,037
Well, ready for duty.

338
00:25:27,108 --> 00:25:29,403
Completely at your service.

339
00:25:37,885 --> 00:25:39,885
l feel that--
- No.

340
00:25:43,791 --> 00:25:45,560
Good morning, Julia.

341
00:25:45,660 --> 00:25:47,028
Good morning, Dudley.

342
00:25:47,128 --> 00:25:49,128
A lovely day, isn't it?

343
00:25:49,897 --> 00:25:51,933
Lovely.
- Henry and l are going out together.

344
00:25:52,033 --> 00:25:55,336
l'm sorry, but l have appointments.
- You what?

345
00:25:55,436 --> 00:25:59,474
l'm seeing Mr. Trevor, then the
board meeting and the junior assembly.

346
00:25:59,574 --> 00:26:02,475
But you promised.
- l know l did.

347
00:26:02,577 --> 00:26:06,380
Couldn't Dudley represent you
at those meetings?

348
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:08,539
Could l?

349
00:26:08,616 --> 00:26:12,120
Out of the question. They expect me.
lt'd never do if l sent an a--

350
00:26:12,220 --> 00:26:14,220
An assistant.

351
00:26:16,190 --> 00:26:18,190
Excuse me.

352
00:26:19,994 --> 00:26:21,994
Now--

353
00:26:27,935 --> 00:26:31,672
The trouble is, l can't explain!
- You needn't try to explain.

354
00:26:31,772 --> 00:26:34,408
This is the way it is
and the way it will always be.

355
00:26:34,508 --> 00:26:36,978
We've just got to get used to it,
that's all.

356
00:26:37,078 --> 00:26:42,688
l'll tell Matilda to take the day off,
and l'll take care of Debby.

357
00:26:53,494 --> 00:26:59,367
Mrs. George Hamilton has pledged one
million dollars but hasn't sent a check.

358
00:26:59,467 --> 00:27:02,570
Never mind those cards.
That's work for a bookkeeper, not an a--

359
00:27:02,670 --> 00:27:07,708
lt's work for a bookkeeper.
- So, you're beginning to believe in me.

360
00:27:07,808 --> 00:27:10,678
l don't know who you are
or who it was that sent you.

361
00:27:10,778 --> 00:27:13,681
l'd just wish you'd make haste.
There's no time to lose.

362
00:27:13,781 --> 00:27:15,683
Because the cathedral must be built?

363
00:27:15,783 --> 00:27:18,019
Obviously.
That's the most important thing.

364
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:20,754
Or because Julia must be happy?

365
00:27:20,788 --> 00:27:22,690
lt's going to be difficult to help you...

366
00:27:22,790 --> 00:27:24,892
until l'm sure what it is you really want.

367
00:27:24,992 --> 00:27:27,117
l've got the-- Then the--

368
00:27:44,578 --> 00:27:47,381
Would you mind telling me
what you intend to do now?

369
00:27:47,481 --> 00:27:51,352
This card index file is an awful mess.
l think l'll reorganize it.

370
00:27:51,452 --> 00:27:53,487
l think you're wasting time
on unimportant details.

371
00:27:53,587 --> 00:28:00,217
Nothing's unimportant. Remember, we're
interested even in the lowliest sparrow.

372
00:28:49,577 --> 00:28:52,127
Hello, Debby.
- Are you Dudley?

373
00:28:52,213 --> 00:28:54,408
Yes. How did you know?

374
00:28:54,515 --> 00:28:57,852
Mummy told me.
She said you came to help Daddy.

375
00:28:57,952 --> 00:29:00,113
That's right.

376
00:29:00,388 --> 00:29:02,523
Mummy said you were very nice.

377
00:29:02,623 --> 00:29:05,293
Well, that's extremely kind of Mummy.

378
00:29:05,393 --> 00:29:09,397
Mummy said that maybe with you here,
we'll get to see Daddy sometimes.

379
00:29:09,497 --> 00:29:13,067
Maybe we will.
- That'll be enough out of you, Debby.

380
00:29:13,167 --> 00:29:16,070
l asked Matilda to put your lunch
on a tray for you.

381
00:29:16,170 --> 00:29:18,406
Thank you.
l'll get along very well.

382
00:29:18,506 --> 00:29:20,675
l'm sure you will.
Come on, dear.

383
00:29:20,775 --> 00:29:23,665
Good-bye, Dudley.
- Bye-bye, Debby.

384
00:29:23,744 --> 00:29:25,744
Bye.

385
00:30:12,660 --> 00:30:15,429
Thank you, Matilda.
- Aren't you going to wear a hat?

386
00:30:15,529 --> 00:30:18,332
l never use one.
- lt's very cold outside.

387
00:30:18,432 --> 00:30:22,703
The cold never effects me.
- l think you should wear this anyway.

388
00:30:22,803 --> 00:30:26,007
l bought it for the bishop last Christmas.

389
00:30:26,107 --> 00:30:29,310
But he's never worn it.
- lt's a lovely scarf.

390
00:30:29,410 --> 00:30:31,979
l'm sure the bishop will appreciate it
when he sees it on me.

391
00:30:32,079 --> 00:30:34,639
Well, thank you.
Good-bye.

392
00:30:56,737 --> 00:30:59,440
What's the matter, honey?
- They don't want me.

393
00:30:59,540 --> 00:31:03,450
Why not?
- l guess l'm too little or something.

394
00:31:04,445 --> 00:31:06,313
Now, now.

395
00:31:06,413 --> 00:31:09,817
Why, that's the most ridiculous thing
l've ever heard.

396
00:31:09,917 --> 00:31:11,917
Why, Dudley.

397
00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:16,175
Come on.
We'll show them how wrong they are.

398
00:31:22,997 --> 00:31:24,997
Hey, fellas!

399
00:31:27,001 --> 00:31:30,231
Who's the head man around here?
- l am!

400
00:31:31,472 --> 00:31:35,376
What's this game you're playing?
- This isn't a game. This is a battle!

401
00:31:35,476 --> 00:31:38,646
We attack the fort
and they try to defend it. See?

402
00:31:38,746 --> 00:31:41,816
l see. Well, this young lady
would like to get into it.

403
00:31:41,916 --> 00:31:45,486
Her?
- She can't fight. Her father's a bishop.

404
00:31:45,586 --> 00:31:48,856
What difference does it make?
Are you high-hat?

405
00:31:48,956 --> 00:31:51,759
How'd you like her on your team?
- She couldn't throw a snowball...

406
00:31:51,859 --> 00:31:53,859
as far as l could spit!

407
00:31:56,830 --> 00:31:59,390
Oh, couldn't she?
Come on.

408
00:31:59,500 --> 00:32:03,003
You show them what you can do.
- But it's true. l can't throw.

409
00:32:03,103 --> 00:32:05,806
Nonsense. Of course you can.
Here. Pack it tight.

410
00:32:05,906 --> 00:32:08,442
Put it in that hand,
throw the arm back...

411
00:32:08,542 --> 00:32:11,432
aim it right at him and let it go!

412
00:32:14,114 --> 00:32:15,883
A bull's-eye!

413
00:32:15,983 --> 00:32:17,983
She pitched a curve!

414
00:32:18,085 --> 00:32:20,713
Did you see that?

415
00:32:20,821 --> 00:32:25,751
Come on, kid! You're in our army.
We've broken their moral.

416
00:32:32,166 --> 00:32:34,969
You think she'll get hurt?
- Probably, but she'll love it.

417
00:32:35,069 --> 00:32:37,069
May l?
- Surely.

418
00:32:41,175 --> 00:32:43,344
What are you doing out here?

419
00:32:43,444 --> 00:32:47,681
Just admiring the scenery.
- Aren't you supposed to be working?

420
00:32:47,781 --> 00:32:52,456
l always take a walk before lunch.
Good idea-- relaxing.

421
00:32:53,487 --> 00:32:56,924
l wish you'd persuade Henry to do that.
- l'll try.

422
00:32:57,024 --> 00:32:59,426
By the way, l told Miss Cassaway
to go home...

423
00:32:59,526 --> 00:33:02,429
and l told Delia
not to bring me anything on the tray.

424
00:33:02,529 --> 00:33:04,994
What will you do about lunch?

425
00:33:05,032 --> 00:33:08,068
l thought l'd go to Michel's.
Ever heard of it?

426
00:33:08,168 --> 00:33:11,729
Michel's?
lt's a lovely place.

427
00:33:11,839 --> 00:33:14,389
We used to go there years ago.

428
00:33:14,441 --> 00:33:17,671
How about you and l going there today?

429
00:33:17,678 --> 00:33:20,875
You and-- To Mich-- No, l couldn't.

430
00:33:20,981 --> 00:33:24,084
Why not? Surely, you don't think
Henry would mind?

431
00:33:24,184 --> 00:33:26,887
l'd explain to him it'd be just--
- No, it isn't that.

432
00:33:26,987 --> 00:33:32,257
Matilda's off Christmas shopping
so l have to look after Debby.

433
00:33:33,093 --> 00:33:35,093
Here's Matilda now.

434
00:33:39,900 --> 00:33:42,436
lf you wish-- Oh, hello.
- Hello.

435
00:33:42,536 --> 00:33:44,538
lf you wish,
l'll take Debby home.

436
00:33:44,638 --> 00:33:47,528
But your shopping.
- l finished it.

437
00:33:47,541 --> 00:33:50,311
l finished it so quick,
it was just like miracle.

438
00:33:50,411 --> 00:33:51,812
Mommy!

439
00:33:51,912 --> 00:33:54,642
We won!
- That's wonderful!

440
00:33:54,748 --> 00:33:57,114
Congratulations!

441
00:33:57,384 --> 00:33:59,853
Come on!
We're giving out the medals!

442
00:33:59,953 --> 00:34:02,046
Put up your hood, dear.

443
00:34:16,470 --> 00:34:18,606
Oh, Michel.
- lt's been a long time.

444
00:34:18,706 --> 00:34:21,075
Much too long. But you know
my husband's work.

445
00:34:21,175 --> 00:34:24,411
Yes, your husband.
He doesn't come to see us anymore.

446
00:34:24,511 --> 00:34:27,378
But we understand.
We understand.

447
00:34:27,448 --> 00:34:29,448
This way please.

448
00:34:34,154 --> 00:34:36,154
ls this satisfactory?

449
00:34:36,890 --> 00:34:39,120
Fine, thank you.

450
00:34:39,393 --> 00:34:41,657
Friends of yours?
- Yes.

451
00:34:41,762 --> 00:34:44,465
That is, they're members
of the cathedral committee.

452
00:34:44,565 --> 00:34:45,733
Madame.
- Thank you.

453
00:34:45,833 --> 00:34:47,568
Monsieur?
- No, thank you.

454
00:34:47,668 --> 00:34:49,670
Julia, don't bother with that.

455
00:34:49,770 --> 00:34:52,673
Michel, you just bring us
the best lunch you can think of.

456
00:34:52,773 --> 00:34:56,543
l can see monsieur is a gourmet.
Perhaps you'd be interested in...

457
00:34:56,643 --> 00:34:58,643
Guinea Hen a la Michel?

458
00:35:05,619 --> 00:35:08,849
Please.
Let's leave heaven out of this.

459
00:35:14,962 --> 00:35:17,430
You speak French beautifully.

460
00:35:17,531 --> 00:35:21,271
l've had quite a bit of work to do in Paris.

461
00:35:22,169 --> 00:35:24,763
l've been wondering about you.

462
00:35:24,872 --> 00:35:28,075
Wondering about me? Why?
- You know so much.

463
00:35:28,175 --> 00:35:33,870
lt makes me feel uncomfortable.
- Then l'm sorry l learned anything.

464
00:35:34,415 --> 00:35:37,050
l'm glad you knew about Michel.

465
00:35:37,084 --> 00:35:40,399
Oh, it's so nice to be back here again.

466
00:35:40,421 --> 00:35:44,721
So nice.
- You have memories of this place?

467
00:35:45,793 --> 00:35:48,062
Did you and Henry come here often?

468
00:35:48,162 --> 00:35:53,400
As a matter of fact, this is where
we became engaged to be married.

469
00:35:53,500 --> 00:35:56,730
Then l can understand why you love it.

470
00:35:59,406 --> 00:36:01,738
Pardon me.
- Thank you.

471
00:36:01,842 --> 00:36:04,640
Well, what about that?

472
00:36:04,745 --> 00:36:07,781
My. Would you care to have
your palm read?

473
00:36:07,881 --> 00:36:10,509
No, thank you.
Would you?

474
00:36:10,617 --> 00:36:13,387
No, thanks. l know too much about myself
as it is.

475
00:36:13,487 --> 00:36:16,490
You are different.
l know so little about myself.

476
00:36:16,590 --> 00:36:19,225
Really?
May l look at your hand?

477
00:36:19,526 --> 00:36:21,995
Can you do that too?
- lt's not too difficult.

478
00:36:22,095 --> 00:36:25,933
l suppose you can read the future.
- Within limits.

479
00:36:26,033 --> 00:36:28,524
He's holding her hand.

480
00:36:29,636 --> 00:36:31,636
What do you see?

481
00:36:32,706 --> 00:36:35,766
l never noticed.
Your eyes are green.

482
00:36:37,945 --> 00:36:42,750
l see a great deal of happiness.
l see a woman who's adored.

483
00:36:42,850 --> 00:36:46,081
l see a rich, full life.

484
00:36:46,353 --> 00:36:48,989
Do you see Henry's new cathedral?
- lt's not very clear.

485
00:36:49,089 --> 00:36:51,358
There's kind of a fuzziness about that.

486
00:36:51,458 --> 00:36:54,773
And Debby?
- No need to worry about her.

487
00:36:55,162 --> 00:36:59,600
Just think. The world changes,
but two things remain constant.

488
00:36:59,700 --> 00:37:02,965
What?
- Youth and beauty.

489
00:37:03,036 --> 00:37:05,606
Though they're really
one in the same thing.

490
00:37:05,706 --> 00:37:10,507
Yes. The trouble is, people grow old.
- Not everybody.

491
00:37:10,611 --> 00:37:14,014
The only people who grow old
were born old to begin with.

492
00:37:14,114 --> 00:37:17,769
You were born young.
You'll remain that way.

493
00:37:18,485 --> 00:37:21,579
l wish l could believe.
- You may.

494
00:37:23,857 --> 00:37:26,527
You haven't looked at my hand once.

495
00:37:26,627 --> 00:37:30,697
l never know what to think. l never know
if you're joking or serious.

496
00:37:30,797 --> 00:37:34,112
l'm at my most serious when l'm joking.

497
00:37:39,172 --> 00:37:42,997
Excuse me.
l've gotta do something about that.

498
00:37:44,545 --> 00:37:47,247
Forgive me coming to your table, ladies.
l'm Dudley.

499
00:37:47,347 --> 00:37:50,984
l believe you're friends of Julia's.
Would you care to join us for lunch?

500
00:37:51,084 --> 00:37:55,055
No, thank you.
- Why don't you join us for some coffee?

501
00:37:55,155 --> 00:37:58,647
Do come over.
Julia will be delighted.

502
00:37:58,759 --> 00:38:01,091
Wonderful.

503
00:38:01,361 --> 00:38:03,361
Just over there.

504
00:38:06,867 --> 00:38:09,247
How are you?
Nice to see you.

505
00:38:12,706 --> 00:38:15,642
Michel, bring us three Benedictines.

506
00:38:15,742 --> 00:38:18,438
No. Make it three Stingers.

507
00:38:18,545 --> 00:38:20,545
Stingers?
Oui, monsieur.

508
00:38:34,695 --> 00:38:37,865
ls lunch ready?
- We thought you were out for lunch.

509
00:38:37,965 --> 00:38:40,501
l cancelled my appointment.
Are my wife and Debby home?

510
00:38:40,601 --> 00:38:43,437
Debby's here, sir.
- Where is Mrs. Brougham?

511
00:38:43,537 --> 00:38:46,767
She went out to lunch with Mr. Dudley.

512
00:38:48,008 --> 00:38:51,341
With Dudley?
- Why, yes, sir.

513
00:38:52,012 --> 00:38:54,845
l thought you knew, sir.

514
00:38:54,915 --> 00:38:56,915
Yes. Of course.

515
00:39:12,966 --> 00:39:16,458
That's awful.
Merry Christmas, Santa.

516
00:39:17,604 --> 00:39:19,573
Santa Claus doesn't really look like that.

517
00:39:19,673 --> 00:39:22,509
You know Santa Claus?
- l've known him for years.

518
00:39:22,609 --> 00:39:25,546
Nice chap.
- You must tell Debby about him.

519
00:39:25,646 --> 00:39:29,726
She's just beginning
to be a little bit doubtful.

520
00:39:34,054 --> 00:39:37,794
You like that hat.
- Yes. l'm crazy about it.

521
00:39:38,158 --> 00:39:41,821
Let's go in and buy it.
- No, l couldn't.

522
00:39:41,928 --> 00:39:44,398
lt's much too--
- Too what? Attractive?

523
00:39:44,498 --> 00:39:48,918
Nothing could be--
Why! My old friend, the professor.

524
00:39:49,903 --> 00:39:52,639
Are you with this man?
- Of course. lt's Dudley.

525
00:39:52,739 --> 00:39:54,975
The professor knows me from
the University of Vienna.

526
00:39:55,075 --> 00:39:57,277
l've been thinking about that.

527
00:39:57,377 --> 00:39:59,680
l don't believe you've ever been to Vienna.

528
00:39:59,780 --> 00:40:02,416
lt's a game we play.
He pretends he's never seen me before.

529
00:40:02,516 --> 00:40:04,985
l don't know who he is,
but l don't trust him.

530
00:40:05,085 --> 00:40:07,553
He's Henry's new assistant.

531
00:40:08,855 --> 00:40:11,024
You mean, you know this fella?
- Of course, l do.

532
00:40:11,124 --> 00:40:15,862
ln that case, how about dropping by
for some yuletide cheer?

533
00:40:15,962 --> 00:40:18,087
No. l have to go home.
l--

534
00:40:19,633 --> 00:40:24,393
Well, perhaps just for a few minutes.
- Good! Come along.

535
00:40:29,342 --> 00:40:34,414
There's a little sherry left--
a rather inferior grade, but potable.

536
00:40:34,514 --> 00:40:38,251
l see you're quite a religious man.
- What makes you think that?

537
00:40:38,351 --> 00:40:42,489
You have an angel on your tree.
- Julia gave me that years ago.

538
00:40:42,589 --> 00:40:45,692
Your tree is beautiful.
- lt's disgraceful.

539
00:40:45,792 --> 00:40:49,763
But it gives me the illusion
of peace on earth, goodwill toward men.

540
00:40:49,863 --> 00:40:52,661
To a charming lady.
- Lovely.

541
00:40:52,766 --> 00:40:55,602
You've noticed?
- lt's more remarkable that you have.

542
00:40:55,702 --> 00:41:01,057
When you want to know about a woman,
ask the old men. They know.

543
00:41:03,844 --> 00:41:07,381
Will you show us the manuscript
of your book?

544
00:41:07,481 --> 00:41:09,282
My book?
- Please.

545
00:41:09,382 --> 00:41:11,762
Oh, no.
- You're writing one?

546
00:41:16,490 --> 00:41:20,051
You didn't know?
- You didn't tell me.

547
00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:25,427
l described that book in detail
at the University of Vienna.

548
00:41:25,532 --> 00:41:27,591
All my pupils knew.

549
00:41:27,701 --> 00:41:30,470
Now l'm certain this fellow's an impostor.

550
00:41:30,570 --> 00:41:33,407
Oh, that book.
l thought you finished that years ago.

551
00:41:33,507 --> 00:41:35,375
l'll tell you--

552
00:41:35,475 --> 00:41:37,477
l'll tell you about my book.

553
00:41:37,577 --> 00:41:39,780
For 20 years l've talked about it.

554
00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:43,617
l promised publishers that
it would be delivered next spring.

555
00:41:43,717 --> 00:41:46,820
Funny part is, in all that time,
l haven't written one word.

556
00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:49,115
Not one word.
- Why not?

557
00:41:49,389 --> 00:41:51,625
l couldn't think of anything original to say.

558
00:41:51,725 --> 00:41:55,957
The same, old, monotonous history,
dry as dust.

559
00:41:58,799 --> 00:42:00,600
That's the whole story of my life.

560
00:42:00,700 --> 00:42:04,431
Frustration.
lt's a chronic disease...

561
00:42:04,538 --> 00:42:06,597
and it's incurable.

562
00:42:08,408 --> 00:42:10,408
Once, l was madly--

563
00:42:17,918 --> 00:42:21,148
Once, l was madly in love with a girl.

564
00:42:21,688 --> 00:42:25,826
My friends, she was a vision
of delight. A pure enchantress.

565
00:42:25,926 --> 00:42:28,895
You never told me about that.
- That's just the trouble.

566
00:42:28,995 --> 00:42:31,398
l never told her about it either.

567
00:42:31,498 --> 00:42:33,762
l couldn't find the words.

568
00:42:33,867 --> 00:42:36,563
So, she married an athlete.

569
00:42:36,670 --> 00:42:41,515
A great hulky oaf
who never even reached the eighth grade.

570
00:42:42,142 --> 00:42:45,077
But he knew how to say l love you.

571
00:42:47,647 --> 00:42:51,549
Same trouble as my book.
Can't find the words.

572
00:42:53,420 --> 00:42:56,990
Even when you had this coin
to inspire you?

573
00:42:58,091 --> 00:43:00,861
Why, that's the one you gave to Henry.

574
00:43:00,961 --> 00:43:03,725
Yes. l stole it off the table.

575
00:43:03,830 --> 00:43:05,866
You wasted your time.
lt's worthless.

576
00:43:05,966 --> 00:43:10,370
On the contrary. This is one of
the rarest of all antiquities.

577
00:43:10,470 --> 00:43:14,841
Only 100 of these were minted
by Julius Caesar 2,000 years ago.

578
00:43:14,941 --> 00:43:17,244
That was when Cleopatra visited Rome.

579
00:43:17,344 --> 00:43:20,380
Presumably, these were used
to pay her hotel bill.

580
00:43:20,480 --> 00:43:24,985
l never knew that.
- Nobody did, except Caesar's wife.

581
00:43:25,018 --> 00:43:27,687
And she was suspicious.
- Definitely.

582
00:43:27,787 --> 00:43:31,792
She didn't share
her husband's admiration for Cleopatra.

583
00:43:31,892 --> 00:43:35,629
So she had these coins destroyed--
melted into ornaments for herself.

584
00:43:35,729 --> 00:43:37,798
This is the one she missed.

585
00:43:37,898 --> 00:43:39,900
lt's a unwritten chapter in history.

586
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:42,628
And you will write it.

587
00:43:43,770 --> 00:43:45,672
Do you know any more stories like that?

588
00:43:45,772 --> 00:43:47,541
Any number of them.

589
00:43:47,641 --> 00:43:49,576
You're a curious fellow.

590
00:43:49,676 --> 00:43:51,978
Have you just begun to notice that?

591
00:43:52,078 --> 00:43:54,808
What's your background?

592
00:43:54,881 --> 00:43:58,908
My background?
- Well, where do you come from?

593
00:43:59,019 --> 00:44:01,388
Well--
- Don't tell me any more about Vienna.

594
00:44:01,488 --> 00:44:03,990
Because l won't believe it.
- All right.

595
00:44:04,090 --> 00:44:07,294
Would you believe me if l told you
l came from another planet?

596
00:44:07,394 --> 00:44:09,521
l don't know.

597
00:44:09,629 --> 00:44:10,864
l'd believe you.

598
00:44:10,964 --> 00:44:13,333
And you'd be right, Julia,
as always.

599
00:44:13,433 --> 00:44:15,468
We all come from our own little planets.

600
00:44:15,568 --> 00:44:21,178
That's why we're all different.
That's what makes life interesting.

601
00:44:34,354 --> 00:44:37,669
We don't seem to be making any headway.

602
00:44:38,658 --> 00:44:42,094
First star l see tonight--

603
00:44:42,929 --> 00:44:44,929
You must make a wish.

604
00:44:47,067 --> 00:44:49,957
lt's getting dark.
lt must be late.

605
00:44:50,003 --> 00:44:52,239
Henry will be worried.
We must be leaving.

606
00:44:52,339 --> 00:44:55,604
Oh, no.
- l'm sorry, but we must.

607
00:44:58,378 --> 00:45:01,314
Yes, my friend.
- There's one thing that troubles me.

608
00:45:01,414 --> 00:45:03,783
One thing l wish l knew.
- What's that?

609
00:45:03,883 --> 00:45:07,621
l'm an old man and that history's
a tremendous task.

610
00:45:07,721 --> 00:45:11,680
l wonder.
Will l have time to finish it?

611
00:45:11,791 --> 00:45:15,750
You'll finish your history.
You'll have time.

612
00:45:16,963 --> 00:45:18,963
l believe you.

613
00:45:20,800 --> 00:45:23,837
For a while now,
every time l passed a cemetery...

614
00:45:23,937 --> 00:45:27,167
l felt as if l were apartment hunting.

615
00:45:29,843 --> 00:45:31,843
Good-bye, Professor.

616
00:45:31,945 --> 00:45:34,214
You've given an old man
a very happy afternoon.

617
00:45:34,314 --> 00:45:36,750
Thank you.
- God bless you both.

618
00:45:36,850 --> 00:45:40,760
Thank you.
l'll pass that recommendation along.

619
00:46:33,006 --> 00:46:35,031
Oh, my.
That's pretty.

620
00:46:35,308 --> 00:46:40,914
Why don't you take some of that
pink stuff and make curly-cues with it?

621
00:46:41,014 --> 00:46:43,383
l hope the dinner won't be spoiled.
- No, sir.

622
00:46:43,483 --> 00:46:46,883
l had a feeling that they might be late.

623
00:46:47,020 --> 00:46:49,789
Very considerate of you.
Who's that cake for?

624
00:46:49,889 --> 00:46:52,609
What cake?
- The cake behind you.

625
00:46:53,593 --> 00:46:57,230
That cake? Oh, for anybody
who might like cake.

626
00:46:57,330 --> 00:47:00,633
But you know very well
we don't like these elaborate desserts.

627
00:47:00,733 --> 00:47:03,878
But we baked you an egg custard, sir.

628
00:47:12,345 --> 00:47:15,348
Hello, dear.
l'm sorry we're late for dinner.

629
00:47:15,448 --> 00:47:18,251
Good evening.
- We've had the most marvelous time.

630
00:47:18,351 --> 00:47:20,487
l wish you'd been with us.
- l wish l had.

631
00:47:20,587 --> 00:47:22,956
Debby told me about the snow fights.
- Did she?

632
00:47:23,056 --> 00:47:26,926
We sent to see Professor Wutheridge
and then had lunch at Michel's.

633
00:47:27,026 --> 00:47:28,995
ls Debby in bed yet?
- She's waiting to see you.

634
00:47:29,095 --> 00:47:32,032
Good. l'll go up and say good night.

635
00:47:32,132 --> 00:47:36,297
l won't be long.
l'll just see if she's all right.

636
00:47:39,038 --> 00:47:41,207
l trust you spent a profitable afternoon?

637
00:47:41,307 --> 00:47:45,300
Oh, yes.
Did you have a profitable afternoon?

638
00:47:47,847 --> 00:47:50,407
Not very.
l'd like to see you--

639
00:47:51,518 --> 00:47:52,852
for a moment.

640
00:47:52,952 --> 00:47:54,952
Certainly.

641
00:47:58,091 --> 00:48:00,091
Excuse me.

642
00:48:10,937 --> 00:48:12,972
Can you prove to me that you are an angel?

643
00:48:13,072 --> 00:48:15,367
Proof?
You mean an document?

644
00:48:15,375 --> 00:48:19,712
You, of all people should know
that an angel needs no passport.

645
00:48:19,812 --> 00:48:22,415
l want to see you perform a miracle.

646
00:48:22,515 --> 00:48:26,645
What kind?
- Make the desk fly around the room.

647
00:48:26,753 --> 00:48:29,389
Please! l didn't come down here
to do silly tricks.

648
00:48:29,489 --> 00:48:33,026
l'm surprised at you.
- l don't believe you're an angel.

649
00:48:33,126 --> 00:48:35,762
l think you're a demon right out of--

650
00:48:35,862 --> 00:48:38,490
Oh, Henry! Don't say that.

651
00:48:39,966 --> 00:48:42,001
Well, anyway.
You know how l feel.

652
00:48:42,101 --> 00:48:44,695
Yes.

653
00:48:44,804 --> 00:48:47,967
Wait a minute.
There's another thing.

654
00:49:29,515 --> 00:49:31,813
Dinner is served, Bishop.

655
00:49:52,005 --> 00:49:54,005
Thank you.

656
00:49:57,610 --> 00:50:03,985
For what we are about to receive, may
the Lord make us truly thankful. Amen.

657
00:50:15,762 --> 00:50:18,312
Pass the celery, Henry.
Please.

658
00:50:19,098 --> 00:50:21,098
The celery.

659
00:50:27,774 --> 00:50:29,774
Thank you.

660
00:50:58,404 --> 00:51:00,699
What's that you're humming?

661
00:51:00,773 --> 00:51:03,663
l don't know, dear.
ls it anything?

662
00:51:03,710 --> 00:51:06,338
lt's rather gay.
- l feel gay.

663
00:51:12,719 --> 00:51:16,034
l like to watch you brushing your hair.

664
00:51:16,356 --> 00:51:18,925
Thank you, dear.
ls that a compliment?

665
00:51:19,025 --> 00:51:21,653
Yes. You do it so capably.

666
00:51:22,962 --> 00:51:24,962
Well, thank you.

667
00:51:28,901 --> 00:51:30,803
ln fact, now that l think of it...

668
00:51:30,903 --> 00:51:33,368
everything you do is capable.

669
00:51:35,041 --> 00:51:39,412
The one thing l pride myself on is that
we lead a well-ordered life.

670
00:51:39,512 --> 00:51:40,947
The family, l mean.

671
00:51:41,047 --> 00:51:44,957
Of course, that's due to you
much more than me.

672
00:51:45,818 --> 00:51:49,643
l think you're an excellent wife.
- Thank you.

673
00:51:49,789 --> 00:51:52,725
Do you think l'm an excellent husband?
- Of course.

674
00:51:52,825 --> 00:51:55,995
We're having supper early
so we can get to St. Timothy's on time.

675
00:51:56,095 --> 00:51:58,998
St. Timothy's?
- Choir rehearsal for the benefit.

676
00:51:59,098 --> 00:52:03,364
Oh, yes.
- You've been looking very tired lately.

677
00:52:03,436 --> 00:52:06,739
l hope you'll take it easier
now that Dudley's here.

678
00:52:06,839 --> 00:52:10,297
l think that he's very able.
- You do?

679
00:52:12,678 --> 00:52:15,915
He knows so many things.
- What, for instance?

680
00:52:16,015 --> 00:52:18,618
You should have seen him
with Professor Wutheridge.

681
00:52:18,718 --> 00:52:21,421
He knows more about history
than the professor.

682
00:52:21,521 --> 00:52:24,422
He'd been at it longer.

683
00:52:36,936 --> 00:52:40,306
Let's do that again.
- No! Tell me a story.

684
00:52:40,406 --> 00:52:42,642
Now?
- Don't you know any stories?

685
00:52:42,742 --> 00:52:46,012
l know hundreds of stories.
- Tell me one. Please!

686
00:52:46,112 --> 00:52:48,444
All right.
Let me think.

687
00:52:48,548 --> 00:52:50,550
Now this happened many, many years ago.

688
00:52:50,650 --> 00:52:52,919
That's not the way to begin.

689
00:52:53,019 --> 00:52:55,254
Stories start, ' Once upon a time.'

690
00:52:55,354 --> 00:52:58,291
Yes, that's true.
Well, once upon a time...

691
00:52:58,391 --> 00:53:00,860
there was a little boy
who lived in a little town.

692
00:53:00,960 --> 00:53:03,396
What was his name?
- His name was David.

693
00:53:03,496 --> 00:53:06,699
He was a shepherd and the town
where he lived was called Bethlehem.

694
00:53:06,799 --> 00:53:09,869
l know Bethlehem.
That's where the star was.

695
00:53:09,969 --> 00:53:13,239
That's right.
Only, David lived long before the star.

696
00:53:13,339 --> 00:53:16,342
One night, he was out in the hills
tending his sheep.

697
00:53:16,442 --> 00:53:21,981
He was playing the harp and singing.
- Was he singing ' Jingle Bells'?

698
00:53:22,081 --> 00:53:23,983
'Jingle Bells' hadn't been written then.

699
00:53:24,083 --> 00:53:26,652
He was singing songs he wrote himself.

700
00:53:26,752 --> 00:53:29,956
Suddenly, an angel came down
and spoke to David.

701
00:53:30,056 --> 00:53:33,559
How did David know it was an angel?
- He didn't know.

702
00:53:33,659 --> 00:53:35,561
You know, that's the way it always is.

703
00:53:35,661 --> 00:53:37,997
Angels come and put ideas
into peoples' heads.

704
00:53:38,097 --> 00:53:39,999
Then people feel proud of themselves...

705
00:53:40,099 --> 00:53:42,402
because they think it was all their own idea.

706
00:53:42,502 --> 00:53:44,868
This angel said to David...

707
00:53:44,971 --> 00:53:47,240
'One of your lambs has strayed.'

708
00:53:47,340 --> 00:53:51,377
David put aside his harp and went
into the darkness to find his lamb.

709
00:53:51,477 --> 00:53:53,379
Of course, the angel guided him.

710
00:53:53,479 --> 00:53:58,815
When David found the lamb,
he saw a great, big, ferocious lion.

711
00:53:58,918 --> 00:54:00,319
Oh!

712
00:54:00,419 --> 00:54:03,689
David said to the lion,
'You get away from that lamb!'

713
00:54:03,789 --> 00:54:07,527
And the lion said,
'Get away from me or l'll eat you too!'

714
00:54:07,627 --> 00:54:10,960
Did David run away?
- No. You know why?

715
00:54:11,063 --> 00:54:13,666
Because the angel put another idea
into his head.

716
00:54:13,766 --> 00:54:16,769
David took out his sling
and he hurled his stone...

717
00:54:16,869 --> 00:54:19,205
and hit the lion right between the eyes.

718
00:54:19,305 --> 00:54:22,433
l bet that lion was surprised!

719
00:54:22,508 --> 00:54:26,179
And so was David. Because he didn't know
an angel had helped him.

720
00:54:26,279 --> 00:54:29,382
Well, he picked up the lamb
and took it back to the fold.

721
00:54:29,482 --> 00:54:32,718
He felt so happy,
he made up another song.

722
00:54:32,818 --> 00:54:38,256
lt started out, ' The Lord
is my shepherd, l shall not want.

723
00:54:38,357 --> 00:54:40,893
'He maketh me to lie down
in green pastures:

724
00:54:40,993 --> 00:54:44,308
'He leadeth me beside the still waters.

725
00:54:45,097 --> 00:54:47,429
'He restoreth my soul.'

726
00:54:48,801 --> 00:54:53,005
You can tell the rest of this, Henry.
- Some other time.

727
00:54:53,105 --> 00:54:55,105
Hello, Daddy.

728
00:54:56,475 --> 00:55:01,235
Miss Cassaway, please get
Mrs. Hamilton on the telephone.

729
00:55:01,514 --> 00:55:06,019
Get Mrs. Hamilton on the phone, please!
- Yes, Bishop.

730
00:55:06,852 --> 00:55:08,988
Good morning, Julia.
- Good morning.

731
00:55:09,088 --> 00:55:11,991
l'll see you in a minute.
l have to see Matilda now.

732
00:55:12,091 --> 00:55:14,641
Bye, Debby.
- Good-bye, Dudley.

733
00:55:23,603 --> 00:55:25,935
Thank you.
- Oh, pretty.

734
00:55:27,974 --> 00:55:30,877
Are you expecting a letter?
- One never knows.

735
00:55:30,977 --> 00:55:33,913
But if l should get one,
the stamp would be worth saving.

736
00:55:34,013 --> 00:55:37,950
l have Mrs. Hamilton in a moment, sir.
- Are you seeing her today?

737
00:55:38,050 --> 00:55:42,385
l hope to.
- May l come along? l'd like to meet her.

738
00:55:46,926 --> 00:55:49,295
Hello, Mrs. Hamilton.
How are you?

739
00:55:49,395 --> 00:55:53,525
l'm glad to hear it.
l'd like to see you today.

740
00:55:53,633 --> 00:55:56,033
This afternoon, if possible.

741
00:55:56,268 --> 00:55:58,648
Yes, it is.
lt's very urgent.

742
00:56:00,006 --> 00:56:02,907
That's too bad.
- That's terrible.

743
00:56:04,577 --> 00:56:06,617
You can?
That's splendid.

744
00:56:07,647 --> 00:56:09,916
Thank you so much.
l'll be there.

745
00:56:10,016 --> 00:56:13,645
5:00 this evening.
Thank you. Good-bye.

746
00:56:13,753 --> 00:56:16,789
You didn't make an appointment
for this afternoon, did you?

747
00:56:16,889 --> 00:56:20,526
lt was the only possible time.
- You can't do this to Reverend Miller.

748
00:56:20,626 --> 00:56:22,628
That rehearsal's being held just for you.

749
00:56:22,728 --> 00:56:26,499
They'll get along without me, and
there are other things more important.

750
00:56:26,599 --> 00:56:31,604
He'll be delighted to see you.
- lt isn't the same. You're his bishop.

751
00:56:31,704 --> 00:56:33,829
l don't like going alone.

752
00:56:49,955 --> 00:56:53,559
lt's the big house
at the end of this street, Driver.

753
00:56:53,659 --> 00:56:56,287
Dudley, l take it that--

754
00:56:56,395 --> 00:57:00,024
that you have the money for the taxi?

755
00:57:00,299 --> 00:57:03,529
No. What makes you think l have money?

756
00:57:03,569 --> 00:57:06,936
l just thought that,
you being an ang--

757
00:57:07,039 --> 00:57:09,039
Goodness!

758
00:57:09,942 --> 00:57:12,274
l'm sorry.
- Sorry.

759
00:57:22,822 --> 00:57:24,822
Thank you.

760
00:57:31,564 --> 00:57:33,899
l may be in time to join you before too long.

761
00:57:33,999 --> 00:57:36,435
Please try.
- l'll see you in front of the church...

762
00:57:36,535 --> 00:57:37,637
in exactly one hour.

763
00:57:37,737 --> 00:57:40,570
Try.
- l will be there.

764
00:57:40,673 --> 00:57:43,471
Good.
- This is it, Driver.

765
00:58:04,930 --> 00:58:07,800
Good evening, Bishop Brougham.
- How are you, Stevens?

766
00:58:07,900 --> 00:58:10,469
Mrs. Hamilton is in the drawing room, sir.

767
00:58:10,569 --> 00:58:12,569
Thank you.

768
00:58:20,513 --> 00:58:22,513
Well, Bishop Brougham.

769
00:58:23,816 --> 00:58:26,252
My dear Mrs. Hamilton,
l've come to tell you--

770
00:58:26,352 --> 00:58:29,188
You've come to apologize, l trust.
- Exactly.

771
00:58:29,288 --> 00:58:32,191
Upon mature consideration,
my objections seem petty...

772
00:58:32,291 --> 00:58:34,393
compared with your generous gesture.

773
00:58:34,493 --> 00:58:37,596
l'm very relieved. Sit down, Bishop.
- Thank you.

774
00:58:37,696 --> 00:58:40,800
What hurt me most was to think
that my instinct had betrayed me...

775
00:58:40,900 --> 00:58:43,636
in recommending you
for the position you now hold.

776
00:58:43,736 --> 00:58:45,671
l am unceasingly grateful.

777
00:58:45,771 --> 00:58:48,908
Now, in planning the cathedral
l'm taking it for granted...

778
00:58:49,008 --> 00:58:51,977
that the George B. Hamilton
Memorial Chapel shall be located--

779
00:58:52,077 --> 00:58:54,346
Just where you specified, Mrs. Hamilton.

780
00:58:54,446 --> 00:58:56,348
You don't feel the effect will be lost...

781
00:58:56,448 --> 00:58:58,751
if the whole cathedral
was built in my husband's honor?

782
00:58:58,851 --> 00:59:02,455
l said that in the heat of a dispute.
What matters is that it be built.

783
00:59:02,555 --> 00:59:07,493
Good. l will not have his name
in some horrid little brass plaque.

784
00:59:07,593 --> 00:59:10,629
No, it will be in marble
with large, gilded letters.

785
00:59:10,729 --> 00:59:14,633
Now, the large window depicting
St. George and the dragon.

786
00:59:14,733 --> 00:59:20,173
l should like St. George's countenance
suggest my late husband's.

787
00:59:20,940 --> 00:59:22,940
And the dragon?

788
00:59:23,375 --> 00:59:26,606
Any dragon.
Let's get the blueprints.

789
00:59:27,446 --> 00:59:29,815
Mrs. Hamilton, since we're now
in agreement...

790
00:59:29,915 --> 00:59:32,785
would you mind if we postpone
the discussion of the details?

791
00:59:32,885 --> 00:59:35,488
Julia's waiting at St. Timothy's.
- Very well.

792
00:59:35,588 --> 00:59:38,324
We can go over the plans
when we send for the funds.

793
00:59:38,424 --> 00:59:42,589
Thank you. l'm glad we've settled
our differences.

794
00:59:46,565 --> 00:59:48,565
ls anything the matter?

795
00:59:48,567 --> 00:59:50,947
lt doesn't seem quite right.

796
00:59:53,639 --> 00:59:54,840
Stevens!

797
00:59:54,940 --> 00:59:59,020
There's something wrong
about the bishop's chair.

798
00:59:59,745 --> 01:00:02,314
Madame, it must be the new varnish.

799
01:00:02,414 --> 01:00:05,389
The finisher should have warned us.

800
01:00:06,318 --> 01:00:09,288
l hope l'm not harming the chair.
- Not at all.

801
01:00:09,388 --> 01:00:12,824
Call a furniture shop or a plumber.

802
01:00:12,925 --> 01:00:14,927
Turpentine. Do something, Stevens.
- Yes, ma'am.

803
01:00:15,027 --> 01:00:18,360
Oh, dear.
- l wonder--

804
01:00:18,464 --> 01:00:22,119
Will you give it a little pull at the back?

805
01:00:33,512 --> 01:00:34,747
Thank you.

806
01:00:34,847 --> 01:00:37,283
'Benefit. Help Save St. Timothy's'

807
01:00:37,383 --> 01:00:40,152
lt's been a long time
since Henry's been here.

808
01:00:40,252 --> 01:00:42,413
l wish he had come.

809
01:00:42,488 --> 01:00:45,958
When he was here,
he was so close to people.

810
01:00:46,058 --> 01:00:48,058
So loved by everybody.

811
01:00:48,060 --> 01:00:50,358
How does it seem now?

812
01:00:50,462 --> 01:00:55,732
That the cathedral has moved him away
from the people he loved?

813
01:00:56,435 --> 01:00:58,904
Reverend Miller will be disappointed
not to see him.

814
01:00:59,004 --> 01:01:01,004
He doesn't have to be.

815
01:01:04,710 --> 01:01:07,446
Hello, Mr. Miller.
- So good of you to come, Mrs. Brougham.

816
01:01:07,546 --> 01:01:09,281
l'm delighted to be here.

817
01:01:09,381 --> 01:01:11,317
This is Mr. Dudley,
the bishop's new assistant.

818
01:01:11,417 --> 01:01:13,578
A pleasure.
- Thank you.

819
01:01:13,686 --> 01:01:17,323
The bishop will try to get here later.
Something important came up.

820
01:01:17,423 --> 01:01:20,415
Oh. Of course, he's a busy man.

821
01:01:22,261 --> 01:01:24,930
This is Mrs. Duffy.
- l know her. How are you?

822
01:01:25,030 --> 01:01:27,466
lt's always an honor to have you here
at St. Timothy's.

823
01:01:27,566 --> 01:01:29,668
Thank you. This is Mr. Dudley.

824
01:01:29,768 --> 01:01:31,237
Mrs. Duffy is the organist.

825
01:01:31,337 --> 01:01:34,673
l'm sure she plays enchantingly.
Hello, Mrs. Duffy.

826
01:01:34,773 --> 01:01:38,683
l'm afraid some of our boys are a little late.

827
01:01:39,011 --> 01:01:42,181
We should begin but
l don't see how we can.

828
01:01:42,281 --> 01:01:44,340
lt's quite embarrassing.

829
01:01:44,450 --> 01:01:49,455
lt is a little difficult to compete
with basketball and Christmas.

830

They're all good boys at heart.

831
01:01:52,458 --> 01:01:54,838
They'll show up.
- l hope so.

832
01:01:56,261 --> 01:01:58,261
Hello, Bobby.
- Hello.

833
01:01:58,998 --> 01:02:01,533
What do you sing?

834
01:02:01,633 --> 01:02:04,013
Are you good?
- l don't know.

835
01:02:04,069 --> 01:02:06,704
How about giving a--
- Me alone?

836
01:02:06,805 --> 01:02:10,175
You've got George. Hello, George.
- Hello.

837
01:02:10,275 --> 01:02:12,300
What do you say?
- Okay.

838
01:02:13,612 --> 01:02:15,381
Are you ready, Mrs. Duffy?
- Oh, yes.

839
01:02:15,481 --> 01:02:17,481
Hit it.

840
01:02:19,752 --> 01:02:22,721
O sing to God

841
01:02:22,821 --> 01:02:25,949
Your hymns of gladness

842
01:02:26,025 --> 01:02:28,025
Ye loving hearts

843
01:02:28,027 --> 01:02:30,689
Your tribute make

844
01:02:30,796 --> 01:02:36,325
Your Lord is born this happy day

845
01:02:36,402 --> 01:02:41,704
Then pierce the sky with songs of gladness

846
01:02:41,774 --> 01:02:45,972
Disperse the chains of gloom and sadness

847
01:02:46,245 --> 01:02:48,713
The Lord is born

848
01:02:48,814 --> 01:02:51,305
This happy day

849
01:02:51,417 --> 01:02:53,417
O Sing to Him

850
01:02:53,419 --> 01:02:56,411
Your hymns of gladness

851
01:02:56,488 --> 01:02:59,548
O sing to God

852
01:02:59,658 --> 01:03:02,593
Your hymns of gladness

853
01:03:02,694 --> 01:03:07,256
Ye loving hearts your tribute make

854
01:03:07,366 --> 01:03:09,698
Your Lord is born

855
01:03:09,802 --> 01:03:12,828
This happy day

856
01:03:12,938 --> 01:03:17,966
Then pierce the sky with songs of gladness

857
01:03:18,243 --> 01:03:22,646
Disperse the shades of gloom and sadness

858
01:03:22,748 --> 01:03:25,012
Your Lord is born

859
01:03:25,284 --> 01:03:27,752
This happy day

860
01:03:27,820 --> 01:03:29,820
O sing full out

861
01:03:29,922 --> 01:03:33,517
Your hymns of gladness

862
01:03:33,625 --> 01:03:36,321
O Word of God

863
01:03:36,428 --> 01:03:39,363
For us incarnate

864
01:03:39,465 --> 01:03:41,592
O Word of God

865
01:03:41,700 --> 01:03:44,828
For us incarnate

866
01:03:44,903 --> 01:03:49,465
By faith we hear Thine angels sing

867
01:03:54,780 --> 01:03:58,716
Their hymns
- Angels sing their hymns

868
01:03:58,817 --> 01:04:02,412
Of praise to Thee their King

869
01:04:02,488 --> 01:04:07,425
We join with them in adoration

870
01:04:13,031 --> 01:04:16,899
We pour We pour to Thee

871
01:04:17,002 --> 01:04:20,802
Our supplication

872
01:04:20,906 --> 01:04:23,500
That Thou wouldst

873
01:04:23,609 --> 01:04:26,874
Grant us Lord

874
01:04:26,945 --> 01:04:32,850
Salvation

875
01:04:41,393 --> 01:04:43,884
Boys, that was beautiful.

876
01:04:43,996 --> 01:04:45,996
Really beautiful.

877
01:04:46,498 --> 01:04:50,936
You've all grown up so since
the bishop and l lived in this parish.

878
01:04:51,036 --> 01:04:53,903
l hardly recognized any of you.

879
01:04:54,006 --> 01:04:56,006
l'm so proud of you.

880
01:04:56,041 --> 01:04:58,407
l know he will be to.

881
01:04:58,510 --> 01:05:00,510
Thank you.

882
01:05:00,512 --> 01:05:02,781
Mr. Miller, that was wonderful.

883
01:05:02,881 --> 01:05:05,748
l can't thank you enough.

884
01:05:05,817 --> 01:05:10,407
And you, Mr. Dudley.
- l'm sorry the bishop isn't here.

885
01:05:13,692 --> 01:05:16,562
Are you all right?
- Yes. Thank you.

886
01:05:16,662 --> 01:05:18,926
What is keeping Stevens?

887
01:05:19,031 --> 01:05:21,031
Stevens, there you are.

888
01:05:21,033 --> 01:05:25,137
l'm sorry but the furniture shop
is closed until after New Year's.

889
01:05:25,237 --> 01:05:28,474
l can't find a plumber.
We're out of turpentine.

890
01:05:28,574 --> 01:05:32,909
This is preposterous.
- What about some witch hazel?

891
01:05:33,445 --> 01:05:36,381
May l use your telephone?
- Of course. lt's over there.

892
01:05:36,481 --> 01:05:38,481
Thank you.

893
01:05:51,663 --> 01:05:53,699
Tilda, this is Bishop Brougham.

894
01:05:53,799 --> 01:05:59,409
Will you bring a pair of my trousers
over to Mrs. Hamilton's house?

895
01:06:00,038 --> 01:06:03,475
What difference does it make?
Just bring me another pair of trousers.

896
01:06:03,575 --> 01:06:05,736
Thank you.

897
01:06:05,844 --> 01:06:09,245
l'm so sorry this has happened.

898
01:06:09,348 --> 01:06:11,783
lf only l could contact Julia or Dudley.

899
01:06:11,883 --> 01:06:14,008
Don't be nervous, Bishop.

900
01:06:15,754 --> 01:06:17,556
Have a chair.

901
01:06:17,656 --> 01:06:19,656
Thank you, l have one.

902
01:06:27,466 --> 01:06:28,600
He isn't here.

903
01:06:28,700 --> 01:06:31,870
Perhaps the meeting was
more important than he thought.

904
01:06:31,970 --> 01:06:33,970
l suppose.

905
01:06:34,806 --> 01:06:36,806
We'd better go home.

906
01:06:40,045 --> 01:06:42,147
Dudley, it's strange thing.

907
01:06:42,247 --> 01:06:44,247
What's strange?

908
01:06:44,249 --> 01:06:48,187
You make me feel as if everything
is going to be all right.

909
01:06:48,287 --> 01:06:50,517
lt could be if--
- lf what?

910
01:06:51,990 --> 01:06:56,580
lf people could only learn
to behave like human beings.

911
01:06:58,363 --> 01:07:00,363
Hey, taxi.

912
01:07:07,239 --> 01:07:09,239
Here's a cab.

913
01:07:10,809 --> 01:07:12,711
Will you please wait, Sylvester?

914
01:07:12,811 --> 01:07:14,811
Sure, mister.

915
01:07:14,813 --> 01:07:16,813
Sylvester?

916
01:07:23,588 --> 01:07:26,525
Good evening. l'll be right with you.

917
01:07:26,625 --> 01:07:29,828
This is one of our most exclusive models.

918
01:07:29,928 --> 01:07:32,396
lt's lovely.
Simply ravishing!

919
01:07:32,497 --> 01:07:34,266
So chic, so young.

920
01:07:34,366 --> 01:07:37,336
lt is sweet, isn't it?
- lt's stunning.

921
01:07:37,436 --> 01:07:42,961
Not everyone could wear such a daring
hat. lt was made for madame.

922
01:07:58,457 --> 01:08:02,484
How did you know
my name was Sylvester?

923
01:08:02,594 --> 01:08:05,358
lt's up there on your card.

924
01:08:08,800 --> 01:08:10,869
Could you drive us
through the park, please?

925
01:08:10,969 --> 01:08:12,638
That's out of your way.

926
01:08:12,738 --> 01:08:15,440
Sylvester,
are you getting bored with us?

927
01:08:15,540 --> 01:08:19,211
Oh, no. l'll drive you
to Mexico City, if you want.

928
01:08:19,311 --> 01:08:21,311
Thank you.

929
01:08:22,948 --> 01:08:24,948
l'm having so much fun.

930
01:08:25,784 --> 01:08:27,152
Are you?
- Yes.

931
01:08:27,252 --> 01:08:30,689
Are you really?
- l feel as if l'm doing something bad.

932
01:08:30,789 --> 01:08:32,789
Why?
- l don't know.

933
01:08:33,759 --> 01:08:36,428
l seems wrong to have so much fun but...

934
01:08:36,528 --> 01:08:39,497
l can't figure out why.

935
01:08:39,564 --> 01:08:42,934
You folks know
what's wrong with this country?

936
01:08:43,034 --> 01:08:45,804
l've heard several versions of that.

937
01:08:45,904 --> 01:08:48,771
Do you know?
- l think l do.

938
01:08:49,741 --> 01:08:52,444
Too many people who don't know
where they're going...

939
01:08:52,544 --> 01:08:55,180
and they want to get there too fast.

940
01:08:55,280 --> 01:08:58,511
Take you two.
l'd call you unusual.

941
01:08:58,583 --> 01:09:01,473
Thank you. You're very perceptive.

942
01:09:01,520 --> 01:09:05,557
You know your destination
but are in no hurry to get there.

943
01:09:05,657 --> 01:09:08,560
You want to enjoy some scenery en route.

944
01:09:08,660 --> 01:09:10,896
And you're not reluctant to spend
an extra four bits...

945
01:09:10,996 --> 01:09:13,716
for a detour with Mother Nature.

946
01:09:14,366 --> 01:09:16,406
Look where you're going!

947
01:09:18,537 --> 01:09:20,869
Well, my goodness.

948
01:09:20,972 --> 01:09:23,809
Did you see the way l missed that truck?

949
01:09:23,909 --> 01:09:28,839
lt was like a miracle.
- Yes, but don't overplay your hand.

950
01:09:40,292 --> 01:09:42,227
Sylvester, pull up here.

951
01:09:42,327 --> 01:09:43,528
We're going skating.

952
01:09:43,628 --> 01:09:46,231
We mustn't. lt's late.
We couldn't.

953
01:09:46,331 --> 01:09:49,267
Do you think we could?
- Henry can wait a little longer.

954
01:09:49,367 --> 01:09:52,002
Yeah.
- Sylvester, stop the car.

955
01:09:58,310 --> 01:10:00,178
l am wicked.
- lf you are, so am l.

956
01:10:00,278 --> 01:10:02,581
And that's impossible.
Can you skate?

957
01:10:02,681 --> 01:10:05,309
l used to but l'm too old now.

958
01:10:05,417 --> 01:10:09,922
Put on some skates.
You'll find out how young you are.

959
01:10:29,541 --> 01:10:31,581
l don't know about this.

960
01:10:50,829 --> 01:10:52,829
Relax. That's right.

961
01:11:05,510 --> 01:11:07,510
Pretty hat.

962
01:11:39,611 --> 01:11:41,977
Why, Dudley!
- Now you.

963
01:11:42,247 --> 01:11:44,340
Oh, no. l--
- Come on.

964
01:11:52,824 --> 01:11:57,244
Dudley, this is heaven.
- You found the perfect word.

965
01:12:19,651 --> 01:12:21,710
Look what l'm doing!

966
01:12:23,288 --> 01:12:27,708
You're a beautiful skater.
ln fact, you're beautiful.

967
01:12:34,966 --> 01:12:37,298
Look at Sylvester!

968
01:12:41,640 --> 01:12:43,640
Now, Sylvester.

969
01:13:07,799 --> 01:13:09,467
Excuse me.
- Sure.

970
01:13:09,567 --> 01:13:11,762
Keep cool, Sylvester!

971
01:13:13,972 --> 01:13:15,972
Relax.

972
01:13:18,243 --> 01:13:20,243
That's right. Come on.

973
01:13:20,345 --> 01:13:22,647
Give me the other one.
That's it.

974
01:13:22,747 --> 01:13:25,341
Relax. No, not collapse.

975
01:13:29,354 --> 01:13:31,354
Hang on to me.

976
01:13:37,862 --> 01:13:40,296
Don't leave me!

977
01:13:55,513 --> 01:13:57,513
How am l doing, Dudley?

978
01:14:10,662 --> 01:14:12,662
Wait for me!

979
01:15:01,446 --> 01:15:03,446
Thank you, Dudley.

980
01:15:03,448 --> 01:15:06,618
How much do l owe you?
- Not a cent, my friend.

981
01:15:06,718 --> 01:15:10,522
My pockets are bulging with the coins
of self-satisfaction.

982
01:15:10,622 --> 01:15:12,691
Know why?
- l'd love to know.

983
01:15:12,791 --> 01:15:17,095
Because you two have restored
my faith in human nature.

984
01:15:17,195 --> 01:15:19,264
Good night, Dudley and Julia.

985
01:15:19,364 --> 01:15:23,274
Good night, Sylvester.
- Good night, Sylvester.

986
01:15:27,672 --> 01:15:29,607
Sylvester is a noble soul.

987
01:15:29,707 --> 01:15:35,413
His children and his children's children
will rise up and call him blessed.

988
01:15:35,513 --> 01:15:38,416
This has been the most wonderful
evening l've had in years.

989
01:15:38,516 --> 01:15:42,587
This has been the most wonderful
evening l've had in centuries.

990
01:15:42,687 --> 01:15:47,192
l hope l haven't left the key--
- Go on in. lt's open.

991
01:15:49,194 --> 01:15:51,563
Hello, Queenie.
- Hello, Queenie. How are you?

992
01:15:51,663 --> 01:15:53,398
Can l help you?
- Yes, please.

993
01:15:53,498 --> 01:15:55,867
All right.
- Oh! You got my shoe.

994
01:15:55,967 --> 01:15:58,595
Hello, Henry.
- Well, Henry.

995
01:15:58,670 --> 01:16:01,439
l thought you were going to meet us
at St. Timothy's.

996
01:16:01,539 --> 01:16:03,108
What happened to you?

997
01:16:03,208 --> 01:16:06,411
Can l take that?
- Thank you. You'll never guess.

998
01:16:06,511 --> 01:16:08,413
We went skating.
- The coat--

999
01:16:08,513 --> 01:16:10,513
There you are.

1000
01:16:10,748 --> 01:16:13,468
See you in a minute.
- All right.

1001
01:16:14,519 --> 01:16:17,288
Skating?
- Yes. Dudley's a marvelous skater.

1002
01:16:17,388 --> 01:16:19,691
He made me imagine that l was good.

1003
01:16:19,791 --> 01:16:24,295
You should have heard the boys
at St. Timothy's. lt was heavenly.

1004
01:16:24,395 --> 01:16:26,865
l'm sure of that.
- Did you have a successful meeting?

1005
01:16:26,965 --> 01:16:28,965
Did you?
- Satisfactory.

1006
01:16:28,967 --> 01:16:33,217
Good. l want to see Debby
before she goes to sleep.

1007
01:16:34,472 --> 01:16:36,741
You haven't said a word about it.
- About what?

1008
01:16:36,841 --> 01:16:38,968
My new hat.

1009
01:16:42,680 --> 01:16:45,145
What do you think?
- Charming.

1010
01:16:45,984 --> 01:16:48,449
Thank you.
l'll be right down.

1011
01:16:50,221 --> 01:16:53,158
l know that Julia is
absolutely blameless in this.

1012
01:16:53,258 --> 01:16:56,194
Of course she is.
- You stopped me from joining you.

1013
01:16:56,294 --> 01:16:58,785
Julia had a very good time.

1014
01:16:58,897 --> 01:17:00,897
l didn't.

1015
01:17:01,966 --> 01:17:04,836
lf you'd sent me to Mrs. Hamilton's
l would have gone.

1016
01:17:04,936 --> 01:17:07,639
You didn't.
So l went with your wife.

1017
01:17:07,739 --> 01:17:11,224
ls that part of the normal duties of an--

1018
01:17:15,413 --> 01:17:16,781
Of an angel?

1019
01:17:16,881 --> 01:17:21,186
Sometimes angels must rush in
where fools fear to tread.

1020
01:17:21,286 --> 01:17:25,451
l don't know what that means
and don't explain it.

1021
01:17:27,659 --> 01:17:29,527
You can go now.

1022
01:17:29,627 --> 01:17:31,663
l've solved my problem.
- Have you?

1023
01:17:31,763 --> 01:17:34,566
Mrs. Hamilton is giving the money
for the cathedral.

1024
01:17:34,666 --> 01:17:36,901
That was a foregone conclusion...

1025
01:17:37,001 --> 01:17:41,081
if you were willing to sacrifice
your principles.

1026
01:17:42,540 --> 01:17:46,705
Don't you think this glorious edifice
is worth it?

1027
01:17:47,845 --> 01:17:50,310
l'm not so sure of its glory.

1028
01:17:50,381 --> 01:17:52,872
You're not?
- No, l'm not.

1029
01:17:54,252 --> 01:17:56,654
These are lean years for the world.

1030
01:17:56,754 --> 01:18:00,417
So many people need food and shelter.

1031
01:18:00,525 --> 01:18:04,350
That big roof could make
so many little roofs.

1032
01:18:04,395 --> 01:18:08,633
We're dealing with a materialistic
woman who doesn't care about that.

1033
01:18:08,733 --> 01:18:10,733
Did you try?

1034
01:18:11,803 --> 01:18:14,523
lt's all arranged.
lt's finished.

1035
01:18:14,605 --> 01:18:17,675
You came so that l could have
a cathedral. Now l want you to go.

1036
01:18:17,775 --> 01:18:21,090
Get out of my life and away from Julia.

1037
01:18:21,279 --> 01:18:25,869
Pray for that. lt was
your prayer that brought me here.

1038
01:18:48,006 --> 01:18:51,242
That was no prayer.
- lt was right from my heart.

1039
01:18:51,342 --> 01:18:54,147
l want you to go.
- Julia doesn't.

1040
01:18:55,747 --> 01:18:57,747
Get out!

1041
01:18:59,584 --> 01:19:03,187
Julia's coming back.
Don't let her see you like that.

1042
01:19:03,287 --> 01:19:05,287
Try to calm yourself.

1043
01:19:19,570 --> 01:19:22,507
Debby wants to say good night to Dudley.

1044
01:19:22,607 --> 01:19:23,875
Where is he?
- He's gone.

1045
01:19:23,975 --> 01:19:26,185
Where?
- How should l know?

1046
01:19:27,378 --> 01:19:29,547
Why did he leave?
- l got rid of him.

1047
01:19:29,647 --> 01:19:32,514
l fired him.
- Why?

1048
01:19:32,617 --> 01:19:36,952
He's incompetent
and l can't stand the sight of him!

1049
01:20:05,183 --> 01:20:09,178
Mummy, l'm sure that Dudley's
never coming back.

1050
01:20:09,754 --> 01:20:12,357
Darling, you must never say never.

1051
01:20:12,457 --> 01:20:14,457
Where is he?

1052
01:20:14,959 --> 01:20:16,959
Come here, dear.

1053
01:20:19,730 --> 01:20:21,891
Listen to me.

1054
01:20:21,999 --> 01:20:24,736
Dudley wouldn't leave
without saying a word.

1055
01:20:24,836 --> 01:20:28,406
Beside, he promised to tell you
about Santa Claus.

1056
01:20:28,506 --> 01:20:30,506
He knows him very well.

1057
01:20:31,943 --> 01:20:34,493
But it's almost Christmas Eve.

1058
01:20:35,346 --> 01:20:37,281
Soon l'll have to go to bed.

1059
01:20:37,381 --> 01:20:40,184
l told you he wouldn't leave
without saying a word.

1060
01:20:40,284 --> 01:20:42,420
Would he, Matilda?
- Oh, no.

1061
01:20:42,520 --> 01:20:45,512
That wouldn't be like Mr. Dudley.

1062
01:20:45,623 --> 01:20:48,626
Come along, Debby.
l'll get you ready for dinner.

1063
01:20:48,726 --> 01:20:52,492
Will you come see me later?
- Of course.

1064
01:21:15,520 --> 01:21:17,422
Here is the list of your calls.

1065
01:21:17,522 --> 01:21:19,857
Ending at Mrs. Hamilton's.
- Thank you.

1066
01:21:19,957 --> 01:21:23,094
Miss Cassaway, here is the manuscript
to my Christmas sermon.

1067
01:21:23,194 --> 01:21:27,398
l shall want the original
and five carbons for the press.

1068
01:21:27,498 --> 01:21:32,173
lf you finish before l come back,
leave them on my desk.

1069
01:21:33,638 --> 01:21:36,507
l'm sorry to keep you so long
on Christmas Eve.

1070
01:21:36,607 --> 01:21:39,599
l understand.
lt must be done.

1071
01:21:42,213 --> 01:21:44,508
l'm ready to start out now.

1072
01:21:45,216 --> 01:21:48,361
We're going to the Trubb-Shaws,
then--

1073
01:21:50,254 --> 01:21:52,279
Then to the Van Dovers.

1074
01:21:52,390 --> 01:21:54,430
Good-bye, Miss Cassaway.

1075
01:22:05,603 --> 01:22:07,935
Sylvester!
- Hello, Julia.

1076
01:22:08,172 --> 01:22:09,474
What are you doing here?

1077
01:22:09,574 --> 01:22:13,578
l've been waiting about an hour
hoping for another skating party.

1078
01:22:13,678 --> 01:22:15,780
l didn't want to miss it.
Where's Dudley?

1079
01:22:15,880 --> 01:22:18,260
You got a preacher with you.

1080
01:22:19,183 --> 01:22:21,183
Oh, l know!

1081
01:22:21,252 --> 01:22:24,227
You and Dudley are getting married!

1082
01:22:24,555 --> 01:22:27,859
Sylvester, this is my husband,
Bishop Brougham.

1083
01:22:27,959 --> 01:22:30,393
How do you do?
- Oh.

1084
01:22:31,829 --> 01:22:33,829
247 North Maple.

1085
01:22:39,437 --> 01:22:41,598
247 North Maple.

1086
01:22:57,521 --> 01:22:59,521
Mildred.
- Oh!

1087
01:23:01,692 --> 01:23:04,354
Dudley, it's you.
l didn't see--

1088
01:23:04,428 --> 01:23:07,365
Where have you been?
We've been worrying about you.

1089
01:23:07,465 --> 01:23:10,127
And poor Mrs. Brougham.

1090
01:23:10,234 --> 01:23:13,304
What about her?
- She's been in and out of here all day.

1091
01:23:13,404 --> 01:23:16,240
Asking if we've seen or heard from you.

1092
01:23:16,340 --> 01:23:19,477
Where is she?
- She and the bishop are making calls...

1093
01:23:19,577 --> 01:23:22,042
finishing at Mrs. Hamilton's.

1094
01:23:24,882 --> 01:23:27,385
l'll type this for you.
- Oh, no.

1095
01:23:27,485 --> 01:23:28,819
You go.
- The bishop told me--

1096
01:23:28,919 --> 01:23:33,594
lt's almost Christmas Eve.
You must have shopping to do.

1097
01:23:33,658 --> 01:23:36,149
Go on.
- Thank you, Dudley.

1098
01:23:38,763 --> 01:23:40,698
Merry Christmas, Mildred.

1099
01:23:40,798 --> 01:23:42,838
Merry Christmas, Dudley.

1100
01:24:14,532 --> 01:24:16,532
Take a sermon.

1101
01:24:17,835 --> 01:24:22,765
Tonight, l want to tell you the story
of an empty stocking.

1102
01:24:23,240 --> 01:24:27,311
Once upon a midnight clear,
there was a child's cry.

1103
01:24:27,411 --> 01:24:29,714
A blazing star hung over a stable...

1104
01:24:29,814 --> 01:24:32,183
and wise men came with birthday gifts.

1105
01:24:32,283 --> 01:24:33,618
Have you got that?

1106
01:24:33,718 --> 01:24:37,355
Good. We haven't forgotten that night
down the centuries.

1107
01:24:37,455 --> 01:24:40,825
We celebrate it with stars hung
on the Christmas tree and bells...

1108
01:24:40,925 --> 01:24:43,519
and gifts, especially gifts.

1109
01:24:43,627 --> 01:24:48,189
We buy them, wrap them
and put them under the tree.

1110
01:24:48,299 --> 01:24:51,530
You give me a tie.
l give you a book.

1111
01:24:51,635 --> 01:24:55,264
Aunt Martha wants an orange squeezer.

1112
01:24:55,339 --> 01:24:57,974
Uncle Harry can use a new pipe.

1113
01:25:00,811 --> 01:25:04,406
We forget nobody, adult or child.

1114
01:25:04,515 --> 01:25:06,117
All the stockings are filled.

1115
01:25:06,217 --> 01:25:08,217
All except one.

1116
01:25:33,577 --> 01:25:37,748
l'm sorry, Matilda.
- Mr. Dudley, l knew you'd come back.

1117
01:25:37,848 --> 01:25:40,651
l knew you hadn't walked out on us.

1118
01:25:40,751 --> 01:25:42,153
Of course not.

1119
01:25:42,253 --> 01:25:45,156
Debby's been so worried
and Mrs. Brougham--

1120
01:25:45,256 --> 01:25:48,092
Run upstairs.
Tell Debby l'll see her later.

1121
01:25:48,192 --> 01:25:51,507
l have some work to do.
- l'll tell her.

1122
01:26:37,508 --> 01:26:39,601
One moment, please.

1123
01:26:39,710 --> 01:26:42,446
ls Mrs. Hamilton expecting you?
- No, but she'll want to see me.

1124
01:26:42,546 --> 01:26:46,817
l'm the bishop's assistant.
- You're not expected, but the bishop is.

1125
01:26:46,917 --> 01:26:50,487
l told you, Stevens,
she'll wish to see me.

1126
01:28:20,711 --> 01:28:24,515
'This was composed for you,
my darling, and you only. Allan.'

1127
01:28:24,615 --> 01:28:27,165
Her husband's name was George.

1128
01:30:31,175 --> 01:30:33,175
Good evening.

1129
01:30:34,611 --> 01:30:36,991
That music you were playing.

1130
01:30:37,181 --> 01:30:40,284
l'm the only one living
that knows that composition.

1131
01:30:40,384 --> 01:30:42,286
lt's a shame that we're the only ones...

1132
01:30:42,386 --> 01:30:44,622
who appreciate the lost genius of
Allan Cartwright.

1133
01:30:44,722 --> 01:30:47,555
You know about him?
- Oh, yes.

1134
01:30:47,658 --> 01:30:52,333
The world lost a brilliant,
young composer when he died.

1135
01:30:52,730 --> 01:30:57,292
That was forty years ago.
You couldn't have known him.

1136
01:30:58,535 --> 01:31:02,530
l'm older than you think.
Come, let us sit down.

1137
01:31:08,445 --> 01:31:11,675
What is your name?
- My name is Dudley.

1138
01:31:14,384 --> 01:31:17,251
Tell me about Allan and you.

1139
01:31:24,161 --> 01:31:26,161
Tell me.

1140
01:31:28,632 --> 01:31:32,542
Allan Cartwright
was the only man l ever loved.

1141
01:31:33,670 --> 01:31:36,220
We were engaged to be married.

1142
01:31:36,507 --> 01:31:38,507
l got frightened.

1143
01:31:39,309 --> 01:31:42,579
He had nothing and l was afraid of poverty.

1144
01:31:42,679 --> 01:31:44,679
He went away.

1145
01:31:46,283 --> 01:31:48,283
l never saw him again.

1146
01:31:49,887 --> 01:31:52,437
l never loved George Hamilton.

1147
01:31:52,456 --> 01:31:54,792
He was very much in love with me.

1148
01:31:54,892 --> 01:31:56,892
He was wealthy.

1149
01:31:58,729 --> 01:32:03,744
l've spent a fortune honoring
his memory in empty monuments.

1150
01:32:13,744 --> 01:32:16,346
The Hamilton mansion.
Never been here before.

1151
01:32:16,446 --> 01:32:19,383
What do l owe you?
- No charge. l'm not busy.

1152
01:32:19,483 --> 01:32:23,648
Thank you, Sylvester.
- l'll be seeing you, Julia.

1153
01:32:30,594 --> 01:32:33,363
That must be Henry and Julia at the door.

1154
01:32:33,463 --> 01:32:37,126
The bishop! l can't see him now.

1155
01:32:37,234 --> 01:32:39,566
Oh, yes, you will.
- No!

1156
01:32:39,636 --> 01:32:41,636
Yes.

1157
01:32:43,207 --> 01:32:48,137
Just go out and greet them
in you usual warmhearted manner.

1158
01:32:51,849 --> 01:32:55,929
The Bishop and Mrs. Brougham
are calling, madame.

1159
01:33:00,924 --> 01:33:04,664
You'll stay for dinner?
- l'm afraid l can't.

1160
01:33:04,728 --> 01:33:06,728
l have work to do.

1161
01:33:06,730 --> 01:33:09,705
Don't keep Henry and Julia waiting.

1162
01:33:21,612 --> 01:33:24,077
How do you do, Mrs. Hamilton?

1163
01:33:24,581 --> 01:33:27,556
How nice of you to come and see me.

1164
01:33:29,253 --> 01:33:31,253
Merry Christmas.

1165
01:33:32,623 --> 01:33:35,258
Let's go into the drawing room.

1166
01:33:41,398 --> 01:33:47,008
Merry Christmas to you too.
- Oh, we're old friends. Call me Agnes.

1167
01:33:47,738 --> 01:33:49,738
You too, Julia, dear.

1168
01:33:49,740 --> 01:33:51,740
Yes, of course.

1169
01:33:56,580 --> 01:33:58,580
But he's gone already.

1170
01:33:59,116 --> 01:34:01,116
Who?

1171
01:34:02,686 --> 01:34:04,721
He was here.
- l should have known it.

1172
01:34:04,821 --> 01:34:08,659
Where did he go?
- The poor man had so much work to do.

1173
01:34:08,759 --> 01:34:10,661
You must make him take some rest.

1174
01:34:10,761 --> 01:34:12,761
l've been trying to.

1175
01:34:12,763 --> 01:34:16,667
l can't thank you enough
for sending him to me. But sit down.

1176
01:34:16,767 --> 01:34:22,306
Meeting Dudley has been the greatest
spiritual experience of my life.

1177
01:34:22,406 --> 01:34:23,574
l'm so glad.

1178
01:34:23,674 --> 01:34:26,370
How did you find him?

1179
01:34:26,443 --> 01:34:28,579
lt was an accident.
- lt was a miracle.

1180
01:34:28,679 --> 01:34:33,694
lndeed. Talking with this
wonderful, understanding man has--

1181
01:34:34,651 --> 01:34:37,621
l've changed my mind about the cathedral.

1182
01:34:37,721 --> 01:34:41,792
My money's going to those who need it.
The poor and the homeless.

1183
01:34:41,892 --> 01:34:46,226
The unappreciated people here
and around the world.

1184
01:34:46,330 --> 01:34:49,499
l want you to direct
the spending of the money.

1185
01:34:49,599 --> 01:34:52,336
You see what Dudley has done?
- l see.

1186
01:34:52,436 --> 01:34:56,431
Now you understand--
- Thank you, Mrs. Hamilton.

1187
01:34:56,807 --> 01:34:59,643
l'll be home later for dinner, or something.

1188
01:34:59,743 --> 01:35:02,143
l don't know what--

1189
01:35:02,245 --> 01:35:04,245
Good-bye.

1190
01:35:50,560 --> 01:35:52,560
Hello, Professor.

1191
01:35:53,663 --> 01:35:55,703
Come in, my dear fellow.

1192
01:35:56,666 --> 01:35:58,769
Sit down.
Let me take your coat.

1193
01:35:58,869 --> 01:36:01,463
No, thanks.
- Not there. Here.

1194
01:36:01,571 --> 01:36:03,674
This is the only reliable chair.

1195
01:36:03,774 --> 01:36:07,505
This is a surprise and an honor.

1196
01:36:07,611 --> 01:36:09,513
We must have a glass of sherry.

1197
01:36:09,613 --> 01:36:11,808
No, thank you.
- l insist.

1198
01:36:11,915 --> 01:36:14,611
l want to show you something.

1199
01:36:14,684 --> 01:36:17,821
You see this bottle and note that it is full?

1200
01:36:17,921 --> 01:36:19,489
Watch.

1201
01:36:19,589 --> 01:36:25,709
This is inexplicable even to you with
your vast ecclesiastical knowledge.

1202
01:36:28,265 --> 01:36:30,600
Observe that it is still full.

1203
01:36:30,700 --> 01:36:34,204
How do you account for that?
And the sherry.

1204
01:36:34,304 --> 01:36:37,501
lt stimulates, warms and inspires.

1205
01:36:37,607 --> 01:36:40,811
But no matter how much you drink,
it never inebriates.

1206
01:36:40,911 --> 01:36:44,311
l can account for it.
Dudley's been here.

1207
01:36:45,449 --> 01:36:46,717
And that's not all.

1208
01:36:46,817 --> 01:36:49,419
He told me some things about history
that opened my eyes.

1209
01:36:49,519 --> 01:36:53,690
Today l went to the university library
and read some ancient texts...

1210
01:36:53,790 --> 01:36:57,227
which have been undecipherable
to living scholars.

1211
01:36:57,327 --> 01:37:00,694
Suddenly, l could understand them.

1212
01:37:00,797 --> 01:37:04,468
And this is what l have done,
thanks to Dudley.

1213
01:37:04,568 --> 01:37:07,731
l'm actually writing my history.

1214
01:37:07,838 --> 01:37:12,768
Let's face it. Dudley is no
mortal man like the rest of us.

1215
01:37:13,276 --> 01:37:15,335
ls he?

1216
01:37:15,445 --> 01:37:18,209
How did you know?
- l can't tell.

1217
01:37:18,315 --> 01:37:20,751
What is he?
- He says he's an angel.

1218
01:37:20,851 --> 01:37:24,251
An angel.
- Nothing stopped me that time.

1219
01:37:24,321 --> 01:37:27,224
From heaven?
- That l'm not sure about.

1220
01:37:27,324 --> 01:37:29,324
An angel.

1221
01:37:29,693 --> 01:37:32,498
Too bad. He's such a nice fellow.

1222
01:37:33,463 --> 01:37:35,463
l should have known.

1223
01:37:35,465 --> 01:37:37,734
Nothing less could have put me to work.

1224
01:37:37,834 --> 01:37:39,736
l'm glad he's done somebody some good.

1225
01:37:39,836 --> 01:37:41,805
He's brought nothing but disaster for me.

1226
01:37:41,905 --> 01:37:45,242
That's absurd. He and Julia
were here the other day.

1227
01:37:45,342 --> 01:37:49,713
She seemed happy, quite like
her old, delightful self.

1228
01:37:49,813 --> 01:37:53,216
She's a different person
when she's with him.

1229
01:37:53,316 --> 01:37:55,441
He's made her despise me.

1230
01:37:56,219 --> 01:37:58,881
Are you sure he has done that?

1231
01:37:59,156 --> 01:38:01,658
You think it's my fault?
- l didn't say that.

1232
01:38:01,758 --> 01:38:05,028
This is a mystery
beyond my powers of comprehension.

1233
01:38:05,128 --> 01:38:07,497
l suppose l am to blame for everything.

1234
01:38:07,597 --> 01:38:10,912
l asked for this in more ways than one.

1235
01:38:11,434 --> 01:38:17,979
Dudley's presence only confirmed that
l'd already lost Julia and Debby's love.

1236
01:38:19,242 --> 01:38:21,678
l must confess, my old friend.

1237
01:38:21,778 --> 01:38:24,328
You generously sent me a coin.

1238
01:38:24,347 --> 01:38:28,685
And l only saw its commercial value.
Now l don't know where it is.

1239
01:38:28,785 --> 01:38:31,253
l do. Here it is.

1240
01:38:34,658 --> 01:38:37,094
Where did you find it?
Don't tell me.

1241
01:38:37,194 --> 01:38:42,065
And what's more he told me what it is.
A museum piece. Worth a fortune.

1242
01:38:42,165 --> 01:38:45,769
You keep it. Give it to Julia
as my Christmas present.

1243
01:38:45,869 --> 01:38:48,305
lt might bring luck to you both.

1244
01:38:48,405 --> 01:38:51,007
lt seems strange, you a bishop...

1245
01:38:51,107 --> 01:38:53,477
and me, a broken-down, old scholar.

1246
01:38:53,577 --> 01:38:55,512
l feel terribly sorry for you.

1247
01:38:55,612 --> 01:38:57,876
l wish l could help.

1248
01:38:58,148 --> 01:39:01,051
There's nothing to be done.
- There must be.

1249
01:39:01,151 --> 01:39:04,087
You and Julia have always
loved each other.

1250
01:39:04,187 --> 01:39:05,822
That's only partially true.

1251
01:39:05,922 --> 01:39:08,291
l love Julia--
- Then fight for her.

1252
01:39:08,391 --> 01:39:09,759
How can l?

1253
01:39:09,859 --> 01:39:12,362
You have a tremendous advantage.

1254
01:39:12,462 --> 01:39:15,565
Advantage over an angel?
- That's precisely it.

1255
01:39:15,665 --> 01:39:18,468
He's an angel.
Julia is a creature of earth.

1256
01:39:18,568 --> 01:39:21,765
She's a woman and you are a man.

1257
01:39:33,717 --> 01:39:37,254
lsn't it beautiful?
He did every bit of it himself.

1258
01:39:37,354 --> 01:39:42,121
So quick too.
l couldn't believe my eyes.

1259
01:39:42,225 --> 01:39:46,594
What a blessing he's been.
- The tree's lovely.

1260
01:39:46,696 --> 01:39:51,268
l'm glad you like it. lt's been years
since l've decorated a tree.

1261
01:39:51,368 --> 01:39:54,853
l usually get the more disagreeable jobs.

1262
01:39:57,774 --> 01:39:59,276
Good night, Matilda.

1263
01:39:59,376 --> 01:40:02,521
Sweet dreams.
- Thank you, Mr. Dudley.

1264
01:40:13,390 --> 01:40:15,692
l think my work here is almost finished.

1265
01:40:15,792 --> 01:40:18,124
l'll have to be going.

1266
01:40:21,398 --> 01:40:23,628
Where will you be going?

1267
01:40:23,733 --> 01:40:26,167
Wherever they send me.

1268
01:40:26,236 --> 01:40:28,236
Who are they?

1269
01:40:28,838 --> 01:40:31,170
My superior officers.

1270
01:40:32,275 --> 01:40:35,642
Will we ever see you again?

1271
01:40:36,813 --> 01:40:39,349
They seldom send us
to the same place twice.

1272
01:40:39,449 --> 01:40:41,659
We might form attachments.

1273
01:40:42,886 --> 01:40:46,720
l don't understand.
- Of course not.

1274
01:40:51,861 --> 01:40:54,241
l don't want to leave.
- Why?

1275
01:40:55,565 --> 01:40:58,668
There are few people who know the
secret of making a heaven here on Earth.

1276
01:40:58,768 --> 01:41:00,768
You are one of them.

1277
01:41:04,808 --> 01:41:09,472
l think you should go.
- Please don't send me away.

1278
01:41:11,815 --> 01:41:16,115
What are you saying?
- l'm tired of wandering.

1279
01:41:16,219 --> 01:41:22,339
l'm tired of existing where one is
neither hot nor cold, hungry nor full.

1280
01:41:27,263 --> 01:41:30,426
You must go away and never come back.

1281
01:41:52,555 --> 01:41:57,227
l've never fought an angel, but take off
your coat and put up your dukes.

1282
01:41:57,327 --> 01:41:59,707
Why do you want to fight me?

1283
01:42:01,564 --> 01:42:06,336
Because you tried to steal my wife,
my child, the love that belongs to me.

1284
01:42:06,436 --> 01:42:08,338
Don't you realize that as an angel...

1285
01:42:08,438 --> 01:42:11,408
l could destroy you with a bolt of lightning?

1286
01:42:11,508 --> 01:42:14,210
l don't care. Julia means
more to me than my life.

1287
01:42:14,310 --> 01:42:16,310
l'm not gonna lose her.

1288
01:42:19,182 --> 01:42:22,157
Then l have news for you.
l'm going.

1289
01:42:25,455 --> 01:42:28,151
l'll accept that when l see it.

1290
01:42:28,258 --> 01:42:29,559
No, you won't.

1291
01:42:29,659 --> 01:42:34,531
Because when l go you'll never know
an angel visited your house.

1292
01:42:34,631 --> 01:42:38,533
What about Julia?
- She won't remember either.

1293
01:42:38,601 --> 01:42:42,341
Nor will Debby, the professor
or anyone else.

1294
01:42:43,706 --> 01:42:46,334
l don't trust you.
- You may.

1295
01:42:46,443 --> 01:42:49,279
Because your prayer has been answered.

1296
01:42:49,379 --> 01:42:53,016
That's not true.
l was praying for a cathedral.

1297
01:42:53,116 --> 01:42:56,210
No, you were praying for guidance.

1298
01:42:56,319 --> 01:42:58,614
That has been given to you.

1299
01:43:05,361 --> 01:43:07,361
Just a minute, please.

1300
01:43:08,465 --> 01:43:10,465
Good-bye, Henry.

1301
01:43:17,207 --> 01:43:20,443
lf we need you again,
will you come back?

1302
01:43:20,543 --> 01:43:21,778
Not l.

1303
01:43:21,878 --> 01:43:25,548
l should ask to be assigned
to the other end of the universe.

1304
01:43:25,648 --> 01:43:28,640
Because l was so difficult?

1305
01:43:28,751 --> 01:43:30,653
This difficulty was in me.

1306
01:43:30,753 --> 01:43:36,873
When an immortal envies the mortal
entrusted to him it's a danger signal.

1307
01:43:37,126 --> 01:43:40,430
Take her in your arms and hold her tight.

1308
01:43:40,530 --> 01:43:42,530
Coming.

1309
01:43:43,500 --> 01:43:46,305
Kiss her for me, you lucky Henry.

1310
01:44:36,886 --> 01:44:38,886
She's asleep.

1311
01:44:41,558 --> 01:44:43,558
Are you all right?

1312
01:44:44,460 --> 01:44:46,460
Of course l am.

1313
01:44:47,730 --> 01:44:50,025
Did you get that for Debby?

1314
01:44:55,872 --> 01:44:58,847
l can't imagine where it came from.

1315
01:45:09,852 --> 01:45:12,116
Why, Henry. What is it?

1316
01:45:13,456 --> 01:45:15,456
l don't know. l--

1317
01:45:15,525 --> 01:45:20,115
l just have the most inexplicable
feeling of happiness.

1318
01:45:20,229 --> 01:45:21,598
You know something?
- What?

1319
01:45:21,698 --> 01:45:23,633
There's a big bowl of cider downstairs.

1320
01:45:23,733 --> 01:45:25,401
That's for tomorrow afternoon.

1321
01:45:25,501 --> 01:45:28,061
Let's drink it now. To us.

1322
01:45:28,171 --> 01:45:30,073
To our happiness and what lies ahead.

1323
01:45:30,173 --> 01:45:33,998
Then let's smash the glasses
in the fireplace.

1324
01:45:34,243 --> 01:45:36,243
Listen.

1325
01:45:38,281 --> 01:45:41,086
That's coming from St. Timothy's.

1326
01:45:41,818 --> 01:45:45,522
Let's have the cider
after your Christmas Eve sermon.

1327
01:45:45,622 --> 01:45:47,783
Oh, my sermon.
- Yes.

1328
01:45:47,857 --> 01:45:49,857
That's better still.

1329
01:45:51,527 --> 01:45:56,294
Ring the bells in adoration

1330
01:46:01,537 --> 01:46:05,029
We pour We pour to Thee

1331
01:46:05,141 --> 01:46:08,668
Our supplication

1332
01:46:08,778 --> 01:46:11,144
That Thou wouldst

1333
01:46:11,247 --> 01:46:14,114
Grant us Lord

1334
01:46:14,217 --> 01:46:20,122
Salvation

1335
01:46:34,237 --> 01:46:36,639
Tonight l want to tell you the story...

1336
01:46:36,739 --> 01:46:38,739
of an empty stocking.

1337
01:46:41,711 --> 01:46:44,236
Once upon a midnight clear...

1338
01:46:44,313 --> 01:46:46,353
there was a child's cry.

1339
01:46:48,351 --> 01:46:51,411
A blazing star hung over a stable...

1340
01:46:52,288 --> 01:46:55,518
and wise men came with birthday gifts.

1341
01:46:56,426 --> 01:46:59,495
We haven't forgotten that night
down the centuries.

1342
01:46:59,595 --> 01:47:02,565
We celebrate it with stars
on Christmas trees...

1343
01:47:02,665 --> 01:47:05,980
with the sound of bells and with gifts.

1344
01:47:06,502 --> 01:47:08,663
Especially with gifts.

1345
01:47:09,572 --> 01:47:11,572
You give me a book.

1346
01:47:11,574 --> 01:47:13,769
l give you a tie.

1347
01:47:13,876 --> 01:47:17,505
Aunt Martha wants an orange squeezer.

1348
01:47:17,613 --> 01:47:21,208
Uncle Henry can use a new pipe.

1349
01:47:22,318 --> 01:47:25,412
We forget nobody, adult or child.

1350
01:47:25,521 --> 01:47:28,115
All the stockings are filled.

1351
01:47:28,224 --> 01:47:31,523
All, that is, except one.

1352
01:47:32,662 --> 01:47:36,393
And we have even forgotten to hang it up.

1353
01:47:36,499 --> 01:47:40,128
A stocking for the child born in a manger.

1354
01:47:40,203 --> 01:47:43,263
lt's His birthday we're celebrating.

1355
01:47:43,372 --> 01:47:46,307
Let's not ever forget that.

1356
01:47:46,409 --> 01:47:48,639
Let us ask ourselves...

1357
01:47:48,745 --> 01:47:51,612
what He would wish for most.

1358
01:47:51,714 --> 01:47:54,706
And then let each put in his share.

1359
01:47:56,419 --> 01:48:00,753
Loving kindness, warm hearts...

1360
01:48:00,857 --> 01:48:04,588
and the stretched-out hand of tolerance.

1361
01:48:04,694 --> 01:48:08,604
All the shining gifts
that make peace on earth.
