Shadow Of A Doubt Page #10

Oh?

Not on business,

though.

I can understand

you coming back.

Charlie's a fine girl.

She's the thing

I love most in the world.

I mean it.

Have a nice trip,

Mr. Graham.

And don't take

any more photographs

without permission.

Rights of man.

You know, freedom?

We'll have a talk

about freedom some day,

Mr. Oakley.

Bye.

Good-bye.

[Car Door Slams]

Don't forget to write.

Remember, you have the addresses.

Mm-hmm.

Jack!

Anything else? I've got

butter, fruit, green thread

and go to the library.

And whatever vegetable looks

freshest. If I've forgotten

anything, I'll send Ann later.

All right.

[Board Cracking]

Mother!

Charlie! Darling!

Are you hurt?

I tripped.

Oh, what is it?

Is it your ankle?

I don't think I'm hurt.

I grabbed the bannister.

Oh, darling. You

might have been killed!

I worry myself sick every time

one of the children

come down these stairs.

They're too steep and rickety.

They ought to be fixed.

Are you sure

you're all right?

[Footsteps]

When are you leaving,

Uncle Charlie?

Oh, come now, Charlie.

That other business, it's all

over. I'd like to forget it.

We're all happy here.

When are you leaving?

I'm not going,

you see.

Not yet.

I'm not going.

I want to settle down. Live in

a place where people know me.

Have some money in the bank.

Some sort of business.

Be a part of this family.

I see.

The most sensible

thing for you to do

is to be friends with me.

I can do a lot

for you, Charlie.

For all of you.

No, not you.

We don't want

anything from you.

I wish I'd told

my mother about you.

I know

what you've been thinking.

How do you think your

mother would have felt?

What would it do to her now?

How about your father?

His job at the bank?

What would become

of all of you

if everything came out?

You needn't be afraid.

I can't tell them.

But I'm not afraid.

What would you tell?

Who'd believe you?

A waltz runs

through your head.

You don't like the initials

on a ring and connect it all

up with a newspaper clipping.

You haven't even got the ring.

I don't know what became of it.

You have it.

I?

I gave it to you.

I don't want you here,

Uncle Charlie. I don't want

you to touch my mother.

So go away...

I'm warning you. Go away,

or I'll kill you myself.

See? That's the way

I feel about you.

Here you are, Joe.

Oh, perfume.

Just the nice, fresh,

clean smell of lavender.

Yeah, I know.

You look very handsome,

both of you. I'm pretty proud

of the two men in my family.

Emmy, you're a dream.

It's a shame the children

have to sit on our laps.

It's going to be a

tight squeeze. It won't

do my pants any good.

[Emmy] Joe, I wish

you could drive.

[Joe] We do it this way:

Charles, you'll sit...

Uncle Charlie can

sit in back with Dad...

and the children can

fit in beside them.

[Uncle Charlie] Nonsense.

I'm getting a cab.

You all go in the taxi...

Charlie and I'll go in the car.

No, Uncle Charlie,

you go in the taxi.

I want to ride in the taxi!

Course you do.

So it's all arranged.

Charlie, run out to

the garage and get the car.

I'd rather drive the family.

I want you to hear

my speech on the way.

You're my severest critic.

[Emmy]

Anyway, we need a taxi.

Ann, go call Mr. Abercrombie.

[Charlie Whispering]

Mother!

Mother, please ride with me.

Father can take the children.

Please!

[Car Motor Running]

[Coughing]

[Coughing]

[Coughing]

[Joe] Bet I'll be the only

man outside of Charles fool

enough to dress up like this.

[Emmy] Then you'll be the

only other one to be correct.

You look very distinguished.

Charles, are you all ready?

Joe, are you?

Wait a minute!

I've got to

get my overcoat.

Please, dear.

Hurry!

Take your time, Emmy.

They can't start

'til I get there.

It's getting

chilly in here.

[Radio Announcer]

KSRO, Santa Rosa,

with studios in Vallejo

and Santa Rosa, California.

May as well have

a little music

while we wait.

Oregon State Police pressed

their search today for five...

[Changes Station]

## [Orchestra]

Oh! Does it have

to be so loud?

##

Gets the lower

tones better.

##

I like it loud!

If music's too soft, I can't

tell what they're playing!

##

If I have a band,

I'm a-least have 87 men.

## [Continues]

Help, everybody!

Somebody's caught in the garage.

They're suffocating!

There's something

the matter with the door.

Joe!

I'll take her.

I've got her.

Joe, there's a bottle

of whiskey on my bureau.

Get it quick.

Charlie. Charlie.

Dear Charlie.

Charlie?

Emmy, rub her feet.

Roger, run get something

to fan her with.

Charlie!

[Emmy]

Ann, don't, dear.

[Moans]

Charlie? What are you

trying to say, Charlie?

Go away.

Go away.

[Uncle Charlie]

Emmy, she wants you.

I'm here, darling.

Here's mother.

That's right, my baby.

That's right,

my brave little girl.

Here...

Take a little

sip of this.

No...

I'm alright.

Joe, call Dr. Phillips.

No, I'm all right.

I just want to get up.

You had a wonderful escape,

Charlie. Someone must have

left the motor running.

I couldn't find the key to turn

it off.

The key was there

when I went in.

Lucky thing I passed by.

She might have died.

You saved her.

You knew just what to do.

- Don't know how I happened

to come across that way.

- We'll put the lecture off.

Oh, yes, there is.

I want you all to go.

There's the cab now.

Oh, I couldn't.

I just couldn't go.

Wh-Who found me

in the garage?

[Joe]

Herb heard you

beating on the door.

I was coming across the backyard

and I heard this gaspin'

and beatin'on the door.

I figured there must be

a human bein' in there.

Quick thinking,

Herb.

Lucky thing.

I'm glad you happened

to be going by, Herb.

Come on, Mother.

I-I want to

stay with you.

I don't feel like making a

speech now. When I think what

might have happened to Charlie.

I'm all right. I just

want to sit on the porch

a while and get the air.

No, darling,

I won't hear of it.

I'm all right, really.

I'd rather stay home and get

things ready for the party.

Darling, I want

to stay with you.

Herb, will you take Roger?

Ann, you come with us.

[Car Starts]

I just don't understand it.

First the stairs and...

Mr. Graham isn't there?

[Sighing]

This is the Hotel Stewart

in Fresno, isn't it?

And you don't expect him?

I see. Thank you.

He isn't there?

Thank you very much.

Good-bye.

Can you tell me

where I can reach him?

I've already tried

to get him at the address

he gave me in Fresno.

Thank you.

[Indistinct Chattering]

Mom, may we have

some sandwiches?

Don't take anything

from the dining room.

Go in the kitchen.

Please go away.

And just leave

your coats...

Joe, dear, will you

take care of everyone?

Charlie!

I'll be right down.

[Herb]

Well... now... hmm.

Now, now, Mr. Oakley.

I thought champagne was

only for battleships.

None for me and none, I'm sure,

for my wife. But we hope

you'll all forget we're here.

I'd like to propose a

toast to... Isn't

Charlie coming down?

She'll be down
