The Magnificent Ambersons Page #2

Synopsis: The young, handsome, but somewhat wild Eugene Morgan wants to marry Isabel Amberson, daughter of a rich upper-class family, but she instead marries dull and steady Wilbur Minafer. Their only child, George, grows up a spoiled brat. Years later, Eugene comes back, now a mature widower and a successful automobile maker. After Wilbur dies, Eugene again asks Isabel to marry him, and she is receptive. But George resents the attentions paid to his mother, and he and his whacko aunt Fanny manage to sabotage the romance. A series of disasters befall the Ambersons and George, and he gets his come-uppance in the end.

You stop that, you!

I guess you don't know who I am!

Yes I do, and you're a

disgrace to your mother!

You shut up about my mother!

She outta be ashamed of a

bad little boy like you!

Be silent you billy goat, you!

Pull down your vest, and

wipe off your chin,

and go to hell!

What!

This was heard not only by myself,

but by my wife, and the

lady who lives next door.

He's an old liar.

Georgie...you mustn't say "liar."

Dear, did you say

what he says you did?

Well, first I wouldn't wipe a

shoe on that old storyteller...

Georgie, you mustn't!

- I mean none of us Amberson's

wouldn't have anything to do with him.

- That's not what we're talking about.

I'll bet if he wanted to see any of us,

he'd have to go around to the side door.

- No, you shouldn't say...

- Please, father!

Forgive me, he doesn't see a

very tactful person, but...

He's just...riff-raff!

Oh, you mustn't say so!

And you must promise me never

to use those bad words again.

I promise not to...

unless I get mad at somebody.

Wait'll they send him away to school.

Then he'll get it!

They'll knock the

stuffin' out of him!

But George returned with

the same stuffing.

Bloody siz! See here Bub, does

your mother know that you're out!

Turn down your pants,

you would-be dude!

When Mr. George Amberson

Minafer came home for the

holidays in his sophomore year,

Nothing about him

encouraged any hope

that he had received

his come-uppance.

Cards were out for a

ball in his honour.

And this pageant of the tenantry

was the last of the great

long-remembered dances

that everybody talked about.

Hello there...

...that big bow window...

that's where they'll put the

Major when his time comes...

Now don't you look at

me like that, Major!

- Georgie! You look fine!

- Sam.

There was a time though in your

fourth month that you were so

puny, nobody thought you'd live!

- Where's Fanny?

- Know me very well indeed!

Isabel...

Eugene!

This your boy, Isabel?

- George, this is Mr. Morgan.

- Remember you very well indeed.

George, you never saw

me before in your life.

But from now on, you're

going to see a lot of me.

- I hope.

- I hope so too, Eugene.

Where's Wilbur?

You'll find him

in the game room

with some of the others.

He never was much for

parties, remember?

Yes, I remember.

I'll come back for a dance.

Please do.

- Eugene Morgan, Major Amberson.

- Well, well, well...

Remember you very well indeed.

Remember you very well indeed.

Miss Morgan.

(Jeeve!)

Remember you very well indeed!

You don't remember her either,

Georgie. But of course you will.

Miss Morgan's from out of town.

You might take her up to the

dancing, I think you've pretty
