I'd want her to be happy, even if
she weren't on my consience.
They're coming.
Direct in front of me..
...across from me, stands the
palatial mansion..
...where Joseph B. Chapin
was born..
...and where he died.
Mr. Chapin's grandfather..
Here come the distinguished
funeral guests now.
We see Mr. Arthur McHenry..
...the late Mr. Chapin's law partner.
And Mr. Joseph B. Chapin Junior.
Miss Ann Chapin..
...popular member of the Gibbsville
younger set.
And Mrs. Edith Chapin.
The bereaved widow.
Now arriving is Governor
Lloyd Williams.
With him are State Senator
Mike Slattery..
...and Mr. Robert Hooker.
Editor of the Gibbsville Standard.
friends of the departed.
And even at this distance
their grief is evident.
Governor!
Give us a smile will you please?
Now boys, this is a funeral.
Thank you.
Mr. Paul Donaldson.
The famous multi-millionaire
banker from New York.
And Lieutenant-General Coates who drove
here from Washington for the funeral.
Edith. I call myself a dealer
in words.
But today I have none to offer.
Today Robert. But not yesterday.
Oh. You saw my editorial?
I consider it one of the finest
pieces of writing I've ever read.
And not only because it was about Joe.
The Bar Association was having
it reprinted.
I think of it.
Well, I wish the occasion hadn't
arose... arisen.
Thank you.
I think I should ought to try and say a
few words to each of our guests here.
Oh, you shouldn't be downstairs here at all.
It's a rare sight to see such
courage these days.
I've always lived for my husband..
...my family. Nothing else.
You're very brave Edith Chapin.
Get Joby.
He should be down here with us.
It looks... tacky.
I'll try to get him downstairs, mother.
Edith.
Arthur dear.
You were Joe's best friend.
Stay beside me.
You know how painfully
shy I am.
So good of you to come, Governor.
Joe would have appreciated it.
And you, Mike.
He was always so fond of you.
Mike, you're in trouble.
She wants something.
What, for instance?
Oh, say a small ambassadorship.
Or some other post suitable to a widow
of wealth and refinement.
I don't owe her a thing.
But she thinks you owe her
a hundred grand.
"Madam" requests your
presence downstairs.
One more slug, and I might
be up to it.
There, you know you get
plastered on two drinks.
This is a day to get plastered.
Have you got the right idea?
Is she being noble, our
bereaved mother?
Yes, she's being noble.
Too terribly stiff-upper-lip
noble.
When you go back to camp?
On the 11.05 tonight.
First time I ever looked
forward to it.
I'm beginning to appreciate why
father need this stuff.
Did you love him Joby?
He was my father. The only
one I ever had.
I don't mean like that.
I mean, did you positively
love him?
As a human being?
Well, not the way you
did, old girl.
In spite of what he did to you.
He didn't do it.
He went along with her.
He let her do it.
Only because he went by
his rule-book.
It was an awfully thin little book.
But the rules in it were important.
Such as..
...when her daughter commits
a social error..
...like getting herself pregnant."
Joby, do we have to have that?
I'm sorry, I didn't think.
Forget it.
Sorry, Anna-banana.
I can take almost anything..
...but not the music.
Music does it to you like nothing else.
Where's Charlie now?
Coast guard.
Uh, what do you call them?
Chief Petty Officer?
Leading a band.
