- Nine people.

- Nine people? We're only supposed to be seven.

One, two, three--

Mickey and Peter Schermerhorn!

- You two get right out of this taxi.

- ButJackie said we could go.

I'm sorry. You can't.

Go on. Out of there, quickly.

Hurry now. We've got enough trouble

without taking the neighbor's children too.

Drive on.

Bye.

[ Horn Blowing ]

Oh,Janey!

If it isn't the bathing beauties.

Aren't you going in?

Later, Frank, later.

Oh, I get it.

Look at that poor sucker

standing there.

- Does he know what plans

you have in store for him?

- Please, go away.

- Oh, that poor Morton.

- [ Scoffs ]

- Morton just noticed us.

- Has he?

- What plans do you have in mind for him?

- None. Absolutely none.

He looks exactly the same

as he did last year.

I thought you found him

rather attractive last year.

I did, but I'm a year older, and women

mature so much earlier than men.

- He's a baby. Really, he is.

- I don't think he's a baby.

- Want him?

- Want him? He's an Amherst man.

Well, here he comes.Just catch

the ball when I throw it to you.

Hello, Ann.

Oh, hello, Morton.

You remember my sister Ernestine.

Oh, yes. Hello. Ann, how about going in

for a swim? The water's keen.

- I don't think so.

- Come on. I'll race you to the pier.

I don't feel like it, but if it's

a race you want, Ernestine--

Hi, everybody.! Who wants

to race me out to the pier?

- I do!

- Well, come on, then.

Say, you're not the only one

who got mature this year.

Oh, Martha's just an infant.

She doesn't look like

an infant in that.

Well, thanks for turning

Morton over to me.

Believe me, Ernestine,

you haven't lost a thing.

I know. How can you

lose something you never had?

Fight, fight, fight, fight

Fight on for Sagiwan

Fight, fight, fight, fight, fight

Fight on for Sagiwan

Fight, fight, fight, fight

- Hi. Is this the Gilbreth house?

- Yes, it is.

- Thanks.

- You're new around here, aren't you?

Yep. First day on the island,

first day on the job. Al Lynch is the name.

- I'm Ernestine Gilbreth.

- ''Meased'' to ''pleet'' ya.

[ Chuckles ]

Is that ''S'' for Syracuse?

No. Sagiwan Agricultural

and Technical.

- I got that for football.

- Isn't that marvelous.

Tom, I'd like for you to meet Mr. Lynch,

our new deliveryman.

- Hi.

- Ah, Mr. Lynch.

I'm very pleased

to make your acquaintance.

And now, would you mind bringing

the groceries in, or do you need some help?

Help? Me?

I only took this job

to keep my muscles in trim.

All the football players do.

You know, Red Grange

is delivering ice this summer.

- Here?

- No, no, someplace else.

But I take a great interest in him.

We both play the same position.

- Oh?

- Isn't that interesting.

- What fraternity is that?

- Tau Tau Tau.

You're looking at the head

of the house. Well, so long.

So long.

I'll be seizing ya.

[ Clicks Tongue ]

[ Sighs ]

Dear Mrs. Gilbreth--

It all started in the kitchen.

Saw it with my own two eyes.

I was standing there

with Ernestine...

when this handsome young giant

walked in with the groceries.

- Oh, Tom.

- He had the body of an oak tree...

and the mind of an acorn.

'Twas love at first sight.

'Twas love at first sight.

Beans.

Beans?

Beans, beans, beans.

Howdy-do, children

Howdy doody-do

Sister Martha bought some extra

special groceries for you

- Beans

- [ All ] Beans?

Beans!

[ Ann ]

Beans for our breakfast

[ Frank ]

And beans for our lunch

[ Martha ]

Beans for suppertime

[ All ] Boiled beans, soup beans

stewed beans, baked beans

Beans rain or shine

[ Tom ] Martha never has ham

chicken or lamb

Strange as it seems

[ Ann ]

Whom we admire

[ Girls ] But who doesn't tire of

eating beans, beans, beans

[ Martha ]

Oh, I never tire of eating beans

Beans, beans

- Tau Tau Tau.

- It's Greek. Do you know what it means?

- Property of Al Lynch.

- Oh, Al.

Martha, if I take a girl out,

I have to have some money in my pocket.

I have to buy her something--

an ice cream soda or a hamburger.

- No.

- I won't eat anything myself. I'll just watch her.

We have no money to spend

on strange girls.

- Here comes Ernestine with that great big--

- Don't say it, Fred.

He never takes any of us

for a ride in his truck.

I start my deliveries tomorrow morning

at 1 0:
00. Be waiting for me.

I will. Good-bye, Al.

I'll be squeezing ya.

[ Clicks Tongue ]

I'll be squeezing ya.

[ Clicks Tongue ]

Phooey!

Hello, everybody.

Hello.

- What's the matter with you?

- Did you hurt your back?

- Take a look.

- [ Whistles ]

- Wow!

- Dainty, isn't it?

Al's?

- Oh, no, not Al Lynch.

- Oh, you.

You're just jealous because your

younger sister got engaged before you did.

- Are you engaged to him?

- Yes.

- Really?

- Yes.

Then get him to slip you a couple of steaks

some night by accident, will ya?

Oh, honestly! All anybody in

this family ever thinks about is food.

It's the next best thing

to eating it.

Martha, couldn't you just squeeze

some hamburgers out of that budget?

The budget only calls for meat

for the little ones. We're all full-grown.

Well, I'm not. My best

growing years are ahead of me.

All right. Tonight you're going

to get some meat.

Meat?

- Did I hear right?

- I can't believe it.

I said we're going

to have meat tonight.

To celebrate Ernestine's engagement,

we're going to have a barbecue.

Oh, boy. That fire looks great.

When do we start cooking?

- As soon as the meat comes.

- Haven't you got it with ya?

- It'll be along.

- What do you have to do, shoot it?

- I told you it was clams.

- We don't have to shoot it

and we don't have to dig for it.

Just leave everything to me.

I walked on the bottom

of the drain

Across the raging main

I lost my love

with a boxing glove

It's the Putnams.

They're gonna have a barbecue too.

Well, isn't it a good thing

we got here first.

Martha, is this the meat

you said would be along?

- You can't.

- No? Watch me.

You can't possibly.

You don't have to stay

if you don't want to.

- Hello.

- Hello, Colonel.

- Were you planning a barbecue too?

- Why, yes, but--

Oh, I'm sorry.

Gosh, we didn't know it.

Why don't you take over the fire.

We'll just go back to the house

and boil ours on the stove.

I wouldn't hear of it.

We insist. Don't we?

After all, you're planning

a party, and, well, we're only family.

All we have is frankfurters, anyway.

Let's get our things together

and get out of Colonel Putnam's way.

You'll do nothing of the kind.

You're going to stay right here with us.

We'll combine forces.

- Oh, no.

- I insist.

We have more than enough steaks

for everyone, haven't we, Emily?

Oh, yes, Colonel.

Enough for a regiment.

Well, it isn't up to me.

It's up to Ann.

- She's the oldest.

- [ Stammering ]

If you don't stay,

I won't enjoy a mouthful of food.

Well, we couldn't do that

to you, Colonel. Could we?

- Absolutely not.

- Good.!

[ All ]

Then you'll be a bit older

In the dawn when you wake

And you'll be a bit bolder
