Topper Returns

Hey, you all right down there?

Stay where you are.

Don't move.

Keep calm.

Don't get excited.

I'll get you out of there right away.

Keep calm.

Now wait a minute.

Come on I'll help.

There you are.

What did we hit?

Nothing.

We had a blowout.

I don't understand it either,

that was a grand new tire this morning.

What's the matter, you sure you're all right?

I'm a little shaky I guess.

Come we can sit down over here.

What am I? An orphan?

Come on.

Any man that drives as fast as you oughta be

run out of this country.

You tell me all about it sometime.

Thanks for the lift buddy.

Say, I'm awfully sorry about all this.

You're sorry? How about us?

We can't stay here all night.

Well, you won't have to.

I said I'd get you to Carrington Hall and I will.

How?

Gonna fly us there on a broom?

I'll get help.

We passed a garage about two miles back.

Now you take it easy and don't worry about a thing.

I'll be back in a flash with a tow car.

Why it's as simple as falling off a log.

Huh! Comfortable?

Don't go 'way now.

Must have been his wife with him.

Uh oh! Danger ahead.

Two of 'em!

Oh thanks!

It was awfully sweet of you to stop for us.

But I, I...

Annie you get in the backseat.

Can you manage the bags?

Yes, I think so.

Here are mine, there.

Now, mind if I sit on your lap?

Oh well really my dear young lady.

We're awfully sorry to inconvenience you,

but we had a blowout.

Ahh this is comfortable.

Well, what are we waiting for?

Oh very well Eddie, drive on.

Yes sir.

Would you mind telling me where you ladies are taking me?

To the Carrington Estate.

Uh oh!

Is there anything wrong with the Carrington place?

Yes ma'am, if there wasn't anybody living there,

it'd be a haunted house.

My my Cosmo's late.

He's usually home by now.

Oo, my it's chilly, isn't it?

Emily remind me to send this coat back.

Doesn't keep me warm at all.

Mrs. Topper, you haven't got it on.

Oh how silly of me.

My strange how it's usually cold in the winter

and warm in summer, isn't it?

Oh there's Cosmo now!

Oh look, someone's waving to us.

It's a lady.

It's worse than that boss, it's Mrs. Topper.

Emily, look, he's got a carload of women.

And one of them, one of them's sitting on his lap!

Emily!

Well, here it is.

Are you sure this is the Carrington place?

Yeah, that's what they call it.

Cheerful little eyeful isn't it?

Thanks for the lift Mr. Topper.

Don't mention it.

Hurry up with those bags Eddie.

Yes sir, I ain't wasting no time around here.

I'd like to invite you in, but,

Oh, no thanks, very much, we've got to be getting home.

We sure do!

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

Bye!

Good evening.

Why don't you knock before you come out?

I'm the butler, Miss Carrington.

Oh, I'm not Miss Carrington.

There she is.

How do you do?

Won't you please step in?

Miss Carrington?

Yes.

I'm Lillian, the house keeper.

Well, how do you do?

This is my friend Miss Richards.

Howdy.

Your father's waiting Miss.

Thank you.

Would you mind waiting here?

This way please.

One moment please.

Miss Carrington?

This is Dr. Jeris, your father's physician.

How do you do Dr. Jeris?

I'd like a few words with you Miss Carrington,

before you see your father.

Of course.

I'll be as brief as possible.

Your father's far from being a well man Miss Carrington.

Yes, I know.

Seeing you for the first time may be something

of a shock to him.

I think I understand doctor.

He's been looking forward to your arrival

with great eagerness.

I hope there'll never be any occasion for you

to be separated from him again.

Come with me please.

Mr. Carrington, Mr. Carrington?

Mm?

This is your daughter.

Oh!

Ann.

I, I don't know quite what to do or say.

Nor do I.

Except to tell you, Ann, you're beautiful.

You're the image of your mother when she was young.

Perhaps you better sit down?

Yes.

I know you must think it very strange,

seeing your own father for the first time

on the eve of your 21st birthday.

Well, naturally I wondered why you never sent for me.

Your mother loved the Far East, Ann.

Her last wish was that you be brought up

in the land she loved so well.

I wanted to send for you many times,

but I had to respect your mother's wishes.

And of course my own health wouldn't permit

me to visit you.

I understand father.

I hope you had a pleasant trip.

Yes we, we had a wonderful trip.

We?

Oh, I brought a friend along with me.

An American girl named Gail Richards.

Her father's the head of an exporting company in Shanghai.

Richards you say?

Mmhmm.

Oh, I, I hope you don't mind my bringing her?

Of course not.

Besides the house belongs to you now.

No father, to us.

No my dear, by the terms of your mother's will.

Everything belongs to you after tomorrow.

What else do you do around here beside wind clocks?

Been here long?

- 20 years. - 20 years!

Looks like it might turn out to be a steady job, huh?

Your mother wanted you to have these Ann.

They're exactly as she wore them 20 years ago.

Oh Dad!

They're, they're beautiful!

They'll look every bit as beautiful upon you

as they did upon your mother.

Dad, I, I never did know just how mother died.

Some sort of an accident, wasn't it?

Yes dear.

A mine cave in.

I met your mother in Singapore.

After you were born we decided to move to Sumatra

where I had an interest in a tungsten mine.

My partner was a man named Walter Harberg.

One day he was showing your mother through the mine

when suddenly there was an earthquake.

The tunnel collapsed.

You've talked enough Mr. Carrington.

I'm sorry to interrupt, but we mustn't tire your father.

Oh, of course not.

I hope you'll like your room dear.

Oh I'm sure I will.

Lillian will show you where it is.

I'm supposed to conserve my strength.

It's quite all right, father.

Good night darling.

I'll see you in the morning.

Good night.

Good night Dr. Jeris.

Good night Miss Carrington.

Where's Miss Richards?

Here I am, pal!
