Well, no, I couldn't take you.

It's not exactly a picnic.

Some fellas and I are going fishing.

Yeah, I'll call you up sometime.

Goodbye.

I see by the paper they're having

a sale of vacuum cleaners down at the fair.

I think I'll get you one.

Plenty of time for that.

When will you know about the job

for sure?

I ought to hear from the super tomorrow.

After I get the vacuum,

I'm gonna get you a new coat.

I think maybe we can

doll this house up a little bit.

Maybe we can get rid of that heap

and get us a real car.

Do you think we should?

The old car runs all right.

I got the swellest wife

and kid in the world, ain't I?

And the best

ain't none too good for them.

That's swell of you, honey,

but we gotta pay the folks that helped us...

...when you were out of work.

- Oh, we'll clean that up in no time.

- Ha-ha.

- Yeah, I think maybe...

...we ought to get some new dishes too.

Hey, Pop, come on.

You're missing out on Speed Foster.

What's he doing?

Still hanging on by his teeth?

Yeah, but he's in terrible danger.

Go ahead, darling. Hang on by your teeth

and I'll hang on to the dishes.

With super-human courage

that defies anything else he's done before...

...he fights his way

up out of the pit...

...while the man-eating crocodiles

gnash their teeth...

...in rage at the escape of their victim.

- Gee, crocodiles. Oh, boy.

- He'll get away from them...

...like he did from those man-eating sharks.

Bet I could if I was Speed Foster.

- ready to strike.

Kadonka kill white devils.

Speed laughs at him in scorn and roars:

Throw that spear at me

and you die, Kadonka.

Kadonka, he big warrior.

Hold poison...

All right, lay one down there, boy.

I sure hope Frank gets to be foreman.

Hah. Boy, how we'll stall on him.

Or maybe you guys are too dumb

to know how to stall.

I guess everybody around here's

pretty dumb, except you.

That's telling him, Eddie, old boy.

That's telling him. Ha-ha.

Frank will do all right on the job.

He's got lot of good practical experience

in this shop.

Every time I say anything,

you always wanna start an argument.

- What is it?

- Don't be discouraged. Keep trying.

Maybe someday you'll say something

that makes sense.

Hey, Joe, come here. I need you.

Sure, Tommy. Anything wrong?

Nothing Dombrowski can't fix.

Come on. I wanna have a talk with you.

Doesn't that make you feel proud

and dignified?

Oh, boy.

Hey, that's a honey of a dashboard too.

Strictly airplane type, Mr. Taylor.

- Yeah, airplane, huh?

- Mm-hm.

- Good-looking cigarette lighter.

- Yes.

- Does it work?

- Sure, it works. Try it.

You get 18 miles on a gallon

with this car.

That ought to mean a lot to a man

in your circumstances.

- Oh! Yeah, heh, it works all right.

- Sure it works.

You get more for your dollar

than in any car in this country.

- You'll want delivery.

- I won't know till tonight.

- I'm getting a new job and a raise.

- Congratulations.

I wouldn't wanna sign

till they tell me.

I'd hate to see you wait too long.

This is the only light-colored phaeton.

Tell you what. You got my number.

Give me a buzz.

- Be glad to.

- Okay.

- Thank you.

- Say, if my wife answers, don't tell her.

- I won't.

- I'm getting this as a surprise for the family.

- I'm wise.

- Wait till you meet.

I got the cutest wife and kid

you ever saw. So long.

Congratulations, Joe.

Good luck, kid. Good luck.

Congratulations.

I'm glad to see you get it.

Best to you.

- Hey, Frank.

Come here and meet out new foreman,

Joe Dombrowski.

- Nice going, Joe.

- Thank you.

He won't feel like going. Best thing

is to leave him alone. He'll get over it.

Oh, come on.

At least we can try and help him.

- Come on.

- All right.

- Hey, anybody home?

Hello, Ed.

- Hello.

- How are you?

- Come on. How about a movie?

- No, thanks.

- Why don't you and Buddy go?

- I'd rather not.

It's late for Buddy

and I ought to finish these socks.

Come on, Frank,

you and Ruth can chaperon us.

Lay off. I told you I don't wanna go.

What are you gonna do?

Stay and make faces at yourself all night?

Will you go on to the movies

and let me alone?

Come on.

No job's worth eating your heart out.

But it was my job, wasn't it?

You said so.

I said so, but the company didn't.

They got their own ideas.

Where did they get the idea

Dombrowski was so hot?

Well, he invented that oiling system

that they're using now.

He's saving them dough.

They figure that a guy who could do that

could save them in other ways.

He's got his nose in a book

and going to school...

...while we lay around

and listen to radio.

You gotta hand it to him.

They've already handed it to him,

ain't they?

I suppose if I went around

showing off reading books...

...they'd make me president

of the company.

If you wanna be a sorehead,

forget it.

Sorehead? Sure I'm a sorehead.

Ain't I got a right to be?

How would you like it

if you'd been counting on a break...

...sure you was gonna get it

and all you got was laughed at...

...just because some guy's been

sucking around the boss?

- Yeah?

- Hello, Mr. Taylor.

This is Jenkins

of the Zenith Auto Sales Company.

I showed you the car this afternoon.

Well, forget it. I changed my mind.

I don't want the car.

I tell you I don't want it. I can't afford it.

You two better go on.

You'll be late for the show.

Yes, we'd better. Come on, Ed.

- Goodbye, Ruth.

- Goodbye.

- Goodbye. Have a nice time.

- Goodbye.

So long, Frank.

Good Omen was second.

Hordes of grasping, pushing foreigners...

...who are stealing jobs from American

workmen and bread from American homes.

It is to combat this peril,

to preserve and protect standards of living...

...which made American workmen

the envy of the world...

...that we, the challengers, have raised

our rallying cry, "America for Americans. "

The problems has got beyond the point...

...where the American workman

can cope with it alone.

He needs guidance, solidarity...

...and expert advise on the subject

of protecting his job.

We, the challengers, are organized

to provide that solidarity and advise.

- Pop.

- Ours is an organization...

- Can we listen to Speed Foster?

- No. Listen to this guy. He's talking sense.

It is an organization of which it might be

said, "He who is not with us is against us. "

The choice, my friends, is a simple one.

Do you want our

red, white and blue flag...

...replaced by the vile banner of anarchy?

The time has come when we must realize

what is going on in this great land of ours.

When the real, hundred percent American

must stop and think.

How did you like the picture, Ed?

- It's good to get out. It was hot.

- I didn't notice it...

...but I suppose I would if I'd been

drinking as many beers as you have.

Thanks for reminding me. Let's get some.

- Why don't you have an ice cream soda?

- Oh, no.

Do you have to wake up

with a hangover?

- Come on. Let's go into Nick's.

- All right.

Well, kids, how do you like
