well, I-I guess that's all
water under the bridge, huh?
Why don't we go in the living room
and try to make ourselves comfortable?
Yes. Let's.
Betsy, why didn't you tell me
there was a surprise for dinner?
Well, I hadn't exactly
planned it this way.
Well, uh, desiree was back
in town, and I said to myself,
"Shelby, how about
a grand reunion?"
As the poet said, "is not
old wine the wholesomest,
"Old pippins
the most toothsome?
Old wood burns brightest, and old friends
are surely the best. " A lovely thought.
Mm, yes.
That's tres continental.
It's so interesting seeing
the kind of girl Ned married.
Why, you and I aren't
the same type at all.
Oh, what type would you
say I am, desiree?
Well... a funny thing happened
out in the lab today...
We're so different, you and I. I'm
the gay, irrepressible madcap...
flitting from flower
to flower,
And you're the nice,
sensible little homemaker.
[ Both chuckling ]
n'est-Ce pas?
The wonderful thing about Betsy
is, she combines beauty with brains.
Well, Ill drink to that.
[ Desiree ] so will I.
I think she's just as sweet
as she can be. Thank you.
You know, I don't think you
realize how lucky you are.
I had to go through three
marriages before I realized...
that Ned was the kind of man
I was looking for all along.
- Oh, is that so?
- Sometimes I get all choked up inside thinking of it.
Imagine going all the way to
the other side of the world...
when the bluebird of happiness
was here all along.
Oh, Im sorry, desiree.
Still, it's nice to know Ive
done the right thing. Yes.
Poor, brave child. I wish
things were going better for her.
What do you mean? Come now, Brainard.
There's no reason to pretend with us.
Everyone knows Medfield college is about to
go down the drain. Where does that leave you?
What's it to you? It so
happens I have just been made...
head of the english department
of Rutland college.
It's a very complex and demanding job. I'd
like to ask Betsy to become my assistant.
That's terribly kind of you,
and very flattering.
Well, you can just forget it.
Now let's have no foolish pride.
I said let's forget it.
Just a minute, Ned.
If you don't mind, Id like
Another thing, old man, I can probably use
my influence to get you some instructor's job.
Don't bother
to do me any favors.
I didn't say I was going to
take the position. All I said...
no wife of mine is going to work, not as long
as I have a spark of life left in my body.
That is an absurdly
old-Fashioned attitude.
That's what I like about nuzzie.
I just adore old-Fashioned men.
Could I have an onion instead of an olive
this time? You'll find some in the icebox.
Excuse me.
Oh.
You're so much better for him
than I am.
If Id married him, I would
have just spoiled him rotten.
You shouldn't take
it this way, Brainard.
There's nothing to be ashamed of.
After all, what are friends for?
Look, just where do you get the idea that we're
supposed to be starving to death around here?
Okay, so the flubber deal has
stalled in Washington temporarily,
But Ive got something going on
in that garage out there...
well, it can make a man
Hold tight, humph.
Here we go.
B- Biff! B-Biff!
Biff, help me!
Hang on, humph. Just a
little trouble with the valve.
Please, biff. Get me outta here,
biff! Biff! Come on. Get me outta here!
I don't wish to pry, but may I inquire
what this marvelous new discovery is?
It's a revolutionary concept
in weather control.
Weather control. That's right. It'll
effect people all over the world.
And its commercial
possibilities are endless.
May I ask how it works? Or is
it still in the visionary stage?
It is not in the visionary
stage. I bombard the clouds...
with a technique I am not at
the moment at liberty to divulge.
Oh, I see.
[ Explosion ]
Biff!
Biff!
Biff!
people. That is original thinking.
Biff!
Who's there?
Humphrey,
are you all right?
Well, I d-Don't know.
Who's there? Answer or
Ill blast you to ribbons.
It's all right, Mr. Hummel.
Nobody in here but us chickens.
[ Gunshot ]
oh!
[ Gunshot ]
Dinner's ready when
you are. [ Laughing ]
Hi, prof. How's it goin'? Fine. Fine.
You know, I found out
one thing yesterday.
Flubber gas has a certain
antagonizing effect on the atmosphere.
Yeah? Yeah. And today Im
really going to stir it up.
I'm looking
for big game today.
Like that big, fat cloud
out there.
Come on, humph.
Let's get suited up.
out the garage again.
Will you stop worrying
so much?
Well, why couldn't you test
the suit with a chimpanzee?
Are you kidding?
Those animals cost money.
Now let's see. I'd say
Might be a little far, but we'll take
a crack at it anyway, hey, Charlie?
Maybe give 'em a little rain over in
Lincoln county. They need it there too.
All right.
Switch on.
[ Chuckles ] relax, Charlie.
You won't take the rap this time.
All right, here we go.
Ready. Aim. Fire.
it isn't raining rain
you know
it's raining
flubber gas
[ humming ]
Hmm. Smells like rain.
Better get my umbrella.
[ Sighing ]
nothing.
All right. We'll pour on
a little more juice.
Now...
come on now, cloud.
Cry a little.
Maybe we're going to have
a change in the weather, dear.
Yes. The barometer's real...
[ crashing ]
Nothing, Charlie.
Just nothing.
What have we got to lose? Why don't we
turn up full power and see what happens?
Yeah. What have we got
to lose?
You can't blame Betsy. How would you feel
having to live in the same house with that nut?
Oh, no! No!
[ Gasps, shrieks ]
[ Meowing ]
Well, we didn't get much rain
out of that one, did we, Charlie?
Well, here comes
another one.
Oh, yes, such a lovely piece,
Mrs. Brainard.
I just don't see how you can
bring yourself to sell it.
around the house comes in handy.
A professor's wife.
You understand.
Yes, well, under the circumstances, I
think I can accommodate you. Let's see.
There's 40, 60...
broken windows?
No, I haven't seen anything
like that around here.
[ Police radio] just stay on the
ball out there. Sure, captain. Sure.
Hanson, Kelly!
Somebody answer me!
Hanson!
I hear water!
It's all right, captain. We're
just gettin' the car washed.
No, no, no! We don't pay off
Nobody, but nobody, puts
anything over on Alonzo p. Hawk.
Quiet back there. I'm on the
phone. Read the small print!
Hold on.
Now look. If the glass broke,
you were probably negligent.
The auld lang syne does not
pay off on negligence, friend.
And that goes
for all of ya!
[ Ringing ]
Well... nothing.
Absolutely nothing.
You can come out now,
Charlie.
Well, Charlie,
