All right.
Remember, I'm doing
all the talking.
[Charlie]
Hello.
Hello.
Hello, Catherine.
Good morning, Mr. Graham.
Catherine, this is
Mr. Saunders.
How do you do?
How do you do?
Ann says you want
to speak to me.
Saunders
wants to speak to you.
Come on, Ann. Tell Catherine
the story of Dracula.
Come on, Catherine.
What do you want?
Let them get a
little bit ahead.
I, uh, want to tell you about
that photograph we took.
The one of your uncle?
You gave it back to him.
Not that one he hasn't.
We gave him
the wrong film.
We got the picture
all right.
We wired it east.
They've got witnesses
can identify the man we want
from that picture.
What do you mean,
identify him?
Just what I said.
that picture, we'll know
whether Oakley's the man.
We're waiting for the wire now.
And then Uncle Charlie will be...
That's right.
That's the way it is.
I've got to, haven't I?
I've got to! What's the
most time you'll give me?
Two hours.
I'll make him leave!
You seem pretty sure
he's the man we want.
Why?
No reason why.
I'm just scared.
You're the ones who seem sure.
It's just that I can't stand
You know what he's done?
No, I don't want
to hear!
Well, I want you
to get this.
We're really doing you a favor.
If you know anything more about
your uncle, let's have it!
We also want to know
when and how he leaves town.
If you hold out on us...
I won't.
I'll tell you.
[Ann]
Step on a crack,
you'll break your mother's back.
I wish I knew we
could trust you.
I won't do anything
to help him, I promise.
But you can't ask me
to spy on him.
We've made a bargain.
I'll get him to leave.
That's all I'll do.
Think, Charlie.
The man's dangerous.
If he gets away from us...
I don't want to hear
what he'll do. We've made
a bargain. I'll keep it.
I'll let you know
when he leaves.
Funny if he turned out
to be the wrong man.
Could be.
Ann.
I broke my mother's
back three times.
Not bad. You didn't finish
telling me whether Miss Rose
married the rich guy...
or the one she was in love with.
How long have you two
been so friendly?
Oh, we play games.
I ask questions. She
knows all the answers.
The only trouble is
I can't make out
what she's making up.
I never make up anything.
I get everything from my
books. They're all true.
Come on, Ann. We'd better
get home and help
with dinner. Good-bye.
Good-bye.
Good-bye, Mr. Graham.
Mr. Saunders.
Good-bye, Catherine.
Come on, Catherine.
Why don't you pick some
flowers for the dinner table?
Simple flowers are the best.
I didn't ask for orchids.
[Ann] I wish I'd
been born in the South.
Southern women have a lot
of charm. They pick
flowers with gloves on.
Good-bye, Catherine.
Good-bye, Charlie.
See you after dinner.
Bye.
- Hello, Ann.
- Hello.
How was church, Charlie?
Did you count the house?
Turn anybody away?
No, room enough
for everyone.
I'm glad to hear that.
Show's been running such
a long time, I thought maybe
attendance might be falling off.
Anything special on
the noon broadcast?
A fellow said they caught
that other fellow...
the Merry Widow Murderer.
They did, did they?
Where?
State of Maine. Portland.
Didn't catch him exactly.
He was running away
from the police,
and they were just about to nab
him, at the airport, and he ran
into the propeller of a plane.
Ooh, boy!
Cut him all to pieces. Had
to identify him by his clothes.
His shirts were all initialed,
"C," "O," apostrophe "H."
Well, makes a good ending.
Couldn't have done
better myself.
I guess that closes
that case pretty final.
Sure does. Never cared
much for that case.
Well, I think I'll go get
ready for dinner. I'm hungry.
I can eat a good dinner today.
Charlie, I have
great news for you.
Where can we talk alone?
We got a wire from Maine,
so we can call off the job.
I'll bet you're relieved. I am.
Oh, I am relieved.
Here you were trying to get
your uncle out of town. He must
have thought you were crazy.
Now that it's over, I don't
want to talk about it anymore.
I'd like to pretend the whole
dreadful thing never happened.
There's nothing
to pretend about.
There's mother's gloves.
Mother and her gloves.
She's always losing things.
All mothers lose things.
Someday, she'll be losing you.
Mothers don't
lose daughters,
they gain sons.
That's right. But gain
isn't always the word.
Now take me.
Who'd want a detective
for a son-in-law?
My father would.
He would?
If you said to him, "Father,
I'm going to marry a detective,"
he wouldn't disown you?
It wouldn't
have to be me.
There's Ann.
No, Ann wants to marry
a librarian. She told me.
So she'll always have plenty
[Laughing]
What's the matter?
I was laughing.
It's been so long
since I laughed.
I like it
when you laugh.
I like it when you don't.
I guess I like you
whatever you do.
I guess I like you.
I'm glad.
I like you too.
Funny how you happen to meet
someone and like them and...
like them.
Mm-hmm.
Charlie?
Yes?
I suppose it couldn't ever
really happen some day that
you'd tell your father...
You know, about
marrying someone...
a detective, I mean.
I don't know.
I didn't mean
to tell you.
forgotten all the mess we've
been through together;
'til you could stop
thinking of me as something
unpleasant and frightening.
I wanted to wait and come back
and then tell you.
But I can't help it.
I want to tell you now.
I love you, Charlie.
I love you terribly.
I know it's no time
to tell you now and
I'm sorry. Do you mind?
I don't mind.
Do you think you
could think about it?
About your
loving me?
And perhaps your
loving me.
I-I'd like us to be
friends. I know that.
We are friends.
I'd like to have
that to think about.
Nothing more?
I don't know, Jack.
I... just don't know yet.
All right.
But I may
come back?
Oh, please come back.
Please come back.
Listen, Charlie.
When I go,
go back to that square
in the middle of town.
Take a good look at it.
I loved you.
That's where we had the fight.
I didn't know what to do.
I like my job, but I
didn't like it that night.
I hated it
that night.
You hate it now?
No, not now.
You know, this is a swell
place. I'm going to put
a bronze plaque up there.
[Door Creaks,
Slams Shut]
That door's always
banging shut!
Ohh! Dig!
Uh!
What are you two
locking yourselves
in the garage for?
When I was young,
we sat in the parlor.
Hello, Mr. Oakley.
I was saying
good-bye to Charlie.
In the garage?
The door got stuck.
Now I'll have to say
good-bye to you.
Let's say good-bye out here
on the lawn. No use taking
a chance on the garage.
- Finished here?
- All finished,
but I'll be back.
You'll be
seeing me around.
