My Three Sons

My Three Sons.

Starring Fred MacMurray And as Bub, William Frawley You fatheads want me out of the way, use a gun.

And quit leaving this thing around the joint.

It's not mine, Bub.

Well, no matter whose it was, my bones are just as broken.

What's the idea of the Dagwoods?

We just ate 15 minutes ago.

Bub, it was a half hour ago.

Is Dad going to New York?

Who knows?

He's on the phone talking to somebody named Carolina.

Well, sure, I'd like to go to the Caribbean this time of the year, Joe, but.

...

Yeah, but not for this.

Hey, what's this about Dad going to the Caribbean?

What about Dad going to the Caribbean?

It's pretty simple to me.

Dad's going to fly to New York with somebody from Carolina, and they're going

to end up in the Caribbean, wherever that is.

Wait a minute.

New York?

The S.S.

Carolina sails from New York, and they have a Caribbean cruise.

Dad!

Hey, Dad, don't hang up!

What's with him?

Oh, Rob and some of his pals have been trying to get a job on a cruise ship.

That's all they've been talking about for weeks.

You know how you do when you're a kid.

Well, with us, a trolley ride to the glue works with a big deal.

Dad, are you going to go?

Uh, just...

Oh, come on, Joe.

Are you going to go, Dad?

You mean I just happened to be on the boat, and I happened to run into this fella and try to sell him some air?

Dad, tell him you'll go.

Oh, I know it's done.

Rob, we just... Dad.

I know it's done every day, Joe, but, oh, he'd catch on and... Dad.

Rob, can't you see I'm talking on the phone?

Excuse me, Joe.

I know, Dad, but you're talking about a cruise and vacations coming up, and Mr.

Walters has his connections with this steamship company.

Maybe he can get me a job, you know, scrubbing dishes, washing floors.

I mean, scrubbing floors, what?

Why don't you ask him anyway?

I have no idea what you're talking about.

I'm sorry, Joe.

It's Robbie, and he's trying to say... Go.

Well, how could you understand what he said?

I'm his father, and I didn't understand it.

He wants a job in a boat, and you can get him a job.

Hey, thanks, Mr. Walters.

No, it's just a minute.

Hey, you guys, Dad and I are going on a Caribbean cruise.

Hey, come on.

It's just a minute.

I don't know about it.

Joe, where are you going?

Joe, where are you going?

Our.

Office was supposed to meet us here at the gang, but I don't see him anywhere.

What's he look like?

Well, he's not quite as tall as he looks.

He has gray hair.

There's one.

Where?

Oh, he's gorgeous.

Oh, he is kind of stunning.

Oh, Steve.

Oh, here he is.

Hello, Ray.

I'm sorry I'm late, Steve.

This is New York traffic.

Got your tickets and all the rest?

Well, fine.

I'm glad you made it.

It would have been a short trip.

Ray, this is my son, Rob.

Oh, how do you do, Mr. Davis?

Now, the man you have to contact is Jordan Martin.

His government's in the market for 200 planes, which is even more expensive than the one you have.

He's even better than we thought.

I know, Ray.

Joe briefed me on the whole thing.

Oh, good.

Well, I've made arrangements for you to sit near his table.

I figured the same table would be too obvious and play it by ear.

Well, I've got to get back to the office.

Bon voyage and all that sort of jazz.

Good to meet you, Mr. Davis.

Goodbye.

I don't know.

This whole thing just doesn't seem right.

Dad, quit worrying.

I mean, you're not doing anything really wrong.

It's just one of those deals, one of those borderline cases.

Well, anyway, I'm going to level with this Jordan Martin right off the bat.

Come on, let's get him.

Hey, Dad, why don't you get a shot of me as I'm going up the gangplank?

Okay.

Why don't you stand right about there?

All right.

Now, all you have to do is aim this and press right here.

Now, if you want to focus, you just focus.

Rob, I've taken stab shots before.

Dad, this is a movie camera.

Oh, that's right.

Yeah.

Now, be careful with it.

I borrowed it from Cynthia Leflin's father's boss.

I'll be careful.

Okay?

Okay.

Got me the lens?

Go.

Hi.

Hi.

May I see your ticket?

Oh, I don't need one.

I work here.

Uh, what's the matter?

He boards from the after gangway.

You should have been aboard early this morning.

Oh, well, we didn't know that.

You together?

Yes, we are.

The after gangway is just... I am a passenger.

He's a crew.

Here, Dad.

So long.

Well, now, wait a minute, Rob.

When will I see you?

It depends on what they give me to do.

Get some interesting shots, like girls in bathing suits.

All right, I'll do that.

Uh, here's my ticket.

Stephen Douglas.

Stephen Douglas.

Pleasant boys, Mr. Douglas.

Right here.

You spoiled my picture.

I'm, uh... I'm sorry, wherever you are.

We're.

Playing deck tennis.

Look, girls, it's much sunnier than when we were sitting.

Oh, yeah, may I borrow the suntan?

What?

Goodness.

I see you're reading Stress and Torque.

Uh, yes.

I couldn't put it down.

Such insight.

Such involvement.

Well, that's one way.

Are you a scientist?

No.

I'm a widow.

Attention, please.

Attention.

This is the person speaking.

If you read the instructions in your cabin correctly... Is.

Anything wrong, sir?

Oh, one of these strings seems to be caught up through the armhole here.

Well, let me help you.

Well, I don't think it's necessary to tie them.

It's just a drill.

Oh, but you're wrong, sir.

That's one of the rules.

You absolutely have to let me see the things I'm supposed to prove.

And I know all of them.

I know all of that stuff.

Well, no, this one is very important.

The middle one, you see, has to be tied at all times.

I'm sorry, but I think you caught my hand.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Yes, but I could tie them.

No, that's not... Gee, imagine, if we were in a shipwreck, we'd all be on the same lifeboat.

Well, I certainly hope nothing like that.

How can Natha know?

We're all going to get very well acquainted while we're at it.

Yeah, I've read a great deal about it.

Oh, thanks.

There, sir, this is table 22.

Ladies, this is Mr. Douglas.

Oh, hello.

Hi.

Pleased to meet you.

Excuse me.

That's all right.

Here, look at you.

Yeah, isn't this neat?

A couple of the guys got seasick, so they're using me as a waiter.

Well, I don't mean as neat they got seasick.

No, ma'am, I believe your tables are 18 and 19.

Look.

I'm sorry, Mr. Douglas, he's new aboard.

I will see that he doesn't bother you.

Oh, he's no bother.

Did that waiter call you dad?
