- Take them into the living room and get the fire lighted.

- All right.

- I'll get the room ready upstairs.

- Gosh, I'm wet.

Come on, kids. Get in there.

Get in by the fire.

Come on now, kids, hurry up

and get off these shoes and stockings.

- All right, Joe, help me.

- It'll be nice and warm in a minute.

Ma'll be sore as a wet hen

when she sees my dress.

- Wish I had some hot chocolate.

- Jerry!

- Susie, where's Jerry?

- I don't know.

Jerry. Jerry.

- Where did Jerry go, Jill?

- He was with you, Frank.

Dad, Jerry hasn't been here all the time.

What?

Jerry. Jerry!

Well-

- Wasn't he with one of you kids?

- I saw him with Tommy.

I was holding his hand till he slipped.

I thought someone picked him up.

Oh, Jerry. I'll go find him.

- I'll go with you.

- No, honey, you stay here with Wendy.

- I'll get him.

- Be careful, Dad.

Yes, darling.

Take care now.

Stay on the road, Joe.

All right, all right, honey.

Don't worry.

Come on.

We'd better go back to the fire.

Oh, I bet he never finds Jerry.

Bet he'll never come back.

Maybe he got "drownded."

Jerry.

Jerry!

I'm scared!

- I wish I'd never come.

- I wish my pa was here!

Don't worry now.

There's nothing to be afraid of.

Jerry! Jerry!

I'm cold.

It's Dad.

Joe.

- Mike.

- Wendy, Kit.

- Did you seeJoe?

- No.

- What are you doing here?

- What do you think I'm doing?

I didn't fight my way through

this hurricane for three hours...

to call on your Aunt Hester.

Phone lines are down. I had to come

and see if there was anything left of you.

I was worried about you, Judy.

Jerry!

You all right, Jerry? Huh?

Let's get you inside.

Operator!

Operator.

Susie, it's all right.

There's nothing to be scared of.

- We're all going to be killed.

- Martha!

I want my ma!

Come on and stop it. Stop it! Stop it!

We must quiet these children.

They're getting hysterical.

Stop it, all of you. We're not fraidy cats.

- I'll take him, Joe.

- Bring him upstairs. Quickly.

Oh, boy, what an entrance.

- Oh.

- Oh, dear.

- Oh, he's hurt.

- No, I'm all right.

Gee, it's a swell day.

If it wasn't for the trees, you wouldn't

know there'd been a storm.

- You was sure scared last night.

- Aw, I was not.

- You was too.

- Hold still, Martha.

- How did that feel, Joe?

- Aw, that's swell, honey.

Oh, honey,

you haven't had much sleep.

Oh, I'm all right, Mom.

Where's your milk, Susie?

Is that it?

Look, you have to drink

every bit of your milk.

- Hello, Judith.

- Hello.

Well, the kids are here, sure enough.

Jerry, son.

Jerry, boy. You all right, son?

- Sure, Pop.

- Say, your ma is just having cat fits.

Aunt Hester, don't you think you should

tell them what the Ballantines are really like?

Don't bother, Judy.

They've had enough trouble

without us causing any more.

- If they don't like us, then-

- Well, Joe, what happened to you?

Did you break your leg taking bows?

- Dad got hurt saving Jerry.

- Never mind, Wendy.

- If it wasn't for him, Dad, I wouldn't be here.

- He saved all of us.

- That's right, Mr. Dakin.

- Well, I didn't mean-

Yes, you did, and you don't have

to try to get out of it now.

We know how you feel, all of you.

Ever since we came here, we wanted you

to like us and we wanted to like you...

but you wouldn't give us a chance.

Well, you don't have to worry.

We're going away, aren't we, Dad?

You can keep your old town

and chamber of commerce.

We're going back to where,

no matter what people are...

they don't try to stop people

from laughing and having a good time...

as if it were wrong.

All you want to be is mean

and say mean things that hurt people.

You're mean and- and full of vinegar.

Now, honey-

...and on Friday night, rather than

our usual educational film...

which was going to be

The Life Cycle of the Earthworm...

we shall give you Tyrone Power

in South Sea Love.

And now I give you the family

who have shown us...

we're never too old to enjoy ourselves.

Our heaven-sent shot in the arm,

The Three Ballantines.

- Ladies and gentlemen-

- Ladies and gentlemen-

That's all right.

I'll handle 'em. I'm used to 'em.

Thank you very much,

ladies and gentlemen.

I could pitch a tent here

and make a lot of long speeches...

but when you're a one-man

chamber of commerce...

you haven't got time

to make long speeches.

- Is that right, Dixon?

- You're right.

Right. You know, I could go on and tell you

how we're gonna reopen the stone quarry.

Yes, sir, we've got enough slate

and granite there to last us for years.

- Is that right, Sam?

- That's right.

Right. I could tell you

a lot of things, folks...

but you know, the main thing is,

we all wanna be happy.

Because that all that counts in life,

believe me, folks, is happiness.

- Isn't that right, Dakin, my pal?

- You're right, Joey.

Thank you, brother. If I'm not mistaken,

neighbor, I think that's your cue.

So, Wendy and Kitty, you ready?
