One Sunday Afternoon

Hot baby, that was the one!

Goodbye darling, I must leave you...

Ted!

Yes, darling?

Stop that noise!

Snappy's singing, honey.

I know he is. That's the noise

I want stopped.

You know how women are.

She don't understand.

I know, not artistic.

Drink?

- Good idea.

- Help yourself.

No. no. It's your booze. You pour it.

- Wait a minute. Not so much.

- What's the matter?

Amy don't like me to drink so much.

You ain't afraid of your wife, are you?

Me?

I should say not. No wife's going to

tell me what to do.

If I want to drink, I'll drink!

Down the hatch!

Yeah!

And if I want to sing, I'll sing!

- What do you think about that?

- That's the stuff! Good old Biff Grimes!

Ain't nobody gonna tell me nothing.

Biff!

- Yes, dear?

- Do you want me to come out there?

You can stay in there, honey.

Say...

She's got her fighting clothes on today,

ain't she?

That's something that ought to be in

the marriage laws.

I'd put it in all the marriage laws!

I'd say to all women who were getting

married,

"Look here you,

mind you own business!"

"And leave your husbands alone."

Right!

Good old Snappy.

Ain't many mouths as big as mine.

Don't see how it could be, but it is.

That's it! Hold still.

Funny...

Amy never was like that in the old days.

I know.

We had good times in the old days,

didn't we?

Remember Avery Park?

Sure I remember Avery Park. Who doesn't?

What do I sing, something sad or comic?

Comic.

In the good old Summertime,

In the good old Summertime.

Cut that out!

What's the matter?

You know what's the matter!

That song.

Oh, yeah.

You know something, Biff?

What?

Bet you could have married Virginia if

it wasn't for Hugo Barnstead.

I didn't care anything about her.

Haven't I got Amy? Haven't we been

married for...aw, shucks.

I didn't care anything about Virginia.

We was just good friends.

Good friends?

Hey, she was pretty sweet on you.

You could have married her too, if

Hugo Barnstead hadn't cut you out.

Alright, I could have.

And I would have too, if it

hadn't been for him.

He did it.

Hey Snappy, I want to

tell you something.

There ain't any crime in the world like

stealing another man's girl.

I've done a lot of things, but I've

never done that.

Word of honor, I've never done that.

Hugo Barnstead.

I'd like to get my hands on him.

Would you really like to, Biff?

Would I!

Now's your chance.

Who's chance? What?

They are in town.

Who?

Hugo and Virginia. Got in this morning.

I seen them on the street.

- How'd she look?

- Who?

Virginia!

Aw, swell.

She looked kinda unhappy though.

Hugo looks like business.

You're the one she should have

married, Biff.

- You're a big man, Biff.

- You know Snappy, a man needs a change.

Got to change if he's going to grow.

Ain't that right?

Bet your life that's right.

And that goes for everything.

Even his wife.

That's right!

Biff Grimes is a big man.

I want to grow.

Virginia is the one you should have

married, Biff.

I know.

Hugo Barnstead.

I know how you feel, Biff.

Sure you do, pal.

A man always understands.

Down the hatch.

How about another little song?

One of them

sweet,

humble songs.

Sad or comic?

Sad, I guess.

Sad?

Right.

Goodbye, little girl, goodbye.

Don't cry, little girl, don't cry.

Biff?

Yeah?

Are you going to take me walking?

In 5 minutes.

I've been sitting in this place all

afternoon, and you making all that noise.

Let me give you some advise, Snappy.

Don't ever marry an old-fashioned woman.

You pick out a woman and you say,

"Are you old-fashioned?"

If she says "yes",

you say,

"Sorry.

I'll never be able to grow."

Women don't like me, Biff.

Have a drink.

That's enough.

Down the hatch.

You know what I'm gonna do?

Ought to be filled.

I going to put on my Sunday best

and look up Hugo Barnstead

and I'm gonna say, "Look here Hugo

Barnstead, I'm..."

I'm gonna say, "Look here, Hugo."

"I've got a bone to pick with you."

Answer it.

Dirty, stinking little....

You shoulda had her, Biff. Hello?

Dentist Office.

Tooth pulled?

I don't know.

I don't pull teeth on Sunday unless

it's a child.

Dr. Grimes doesn't pull teeth on Sunday

unless it's a child. He's...

Oh. hello Dick.

Dick Martin from the Jesse Hotel wants

to talk to you.

- Alright. What does he want?

- Just a minute, Dick.

Hello, Dick!

Yeah, it's Biff.

No, never work on Sunday unless it's a...

What?

What did you say that name was?

It's Hugo Barnstead.

Hello, Dick.

Alright, I'll see him.

Send him right over.

You ain't gonna pull his tooth, are you?

Yeah. I'm gonna pull his tooth.

So long, Biff.

- Where are you going?

- Back to my shop. Got a sign to paint.

You're going to stay right here.

How do I look?

Do I look like I've been drinking?

You look alright, Biff.

Hugo Barnstead.

Coming to good old Biff Grimes to have

his tooth pulled.

Come on Hugo Barnstead and get your

tooth pulled.

Tell them the doctor will be back

in just a minute.

Downer?

- Hello, Hugo.

- Well...

What are you doing here?

Got a bad tooth too?

Mine's terrible.

Hurts like the deuce.

Kept me awake all night.

See? This one up here.

Hugo, If I was you I wouldn't...

Here's the doctor now.

Biff!

Hello, Hugo.

Well!

So you did get to be a

dentist after all.

- It's been a long time, Hugo

- Yes it has.

Got an awful toothache, Biff.

Kept me awake all night.

Yes. In the chair, please.

A dentist in Pittsburgh pulled

these 7 up here.

- Nice job, don't you think?

- Yeah. In the chair.

They're up on this side.

Dentist in Detroit pulled these 5 down

here. See them?

Hurt when he pulled them too.

You won't hurt me, will you Biff?

You'll never feel it.

I want gas.

You'll get gas.

Let's see, which one is it?

Hold that, will you Snappy?

Inhale through the nose just as

deeply as you can.

Fill up the lungs!

Deep.

Has been a long time, hasn't it Biff?

What?

You, me and Avery Park...

...Virginia...

Inhale!

I remember it all

just like it was yesterday.

You thought that you

were going to marry Virginia.

Didn't you, Biff.

But I fooled you. I fooled you.

Yeah.

You fooled me.

But you're not going to fool me now.

Avery Park!

Yesterday.

Sure, it was yesterday...

Come on, Biff!

We can't keep them waiting!

You won't catch me hurrying up to meet

some old girl!

I'm Biff Grimes and if they don't want

to wait for me, they don't have to!

He's got wonderful manners!

He had vanilla on and he smelt so nice.

He said, "I've got a friend, do you

have one?"

I said, "Yes!"

Thinking of you, of course.

- Do you think he'll like me?

- He'll fall in love when he sees you.

Maybe you'll fall in love with him too.

Why, Virginia. I'd die.

Tell the truth, weren't you ever

in love with a boy?

- Why, Virginia...

- You can tell me. I won't tell anybody.

When I was very young,

that's a long time ago, of course,

I was in school and this boy...

I don't know, he...

He never even looked at me.

Who was this boy?

Biff Grimes.

Biff Grimes!

That big bully who hangs around
