AV Geeks 16mm Lunch 11-17-2025

Hello everybody. I'm Skip Alzheimer. Welcome to the AV Geeks lunchtime streaming show where we watch old 16mm films and I'm actually scanning some behind me. Uh, and I'm also doing laundry so I apologize for the uh sound. I I could not wait any longer. So there you go. Hello everybody. I'm Skip El >> and let's get started with a uh government film. It's your World War II, not World War II, although I think it was made during World War II. It's your World War II. Enjoy. >> [music] [music] [music] >> Heat. Heat. [music] >> [music] [music] >> Hey, there goes one of those petticoat soldiers now. >> Yeah, my sister wants to join the wax. What do you think of that? >> Huh? She's crazy. What the devil's a woman want to be a soldier for? >> Just a waste of time. This is a man's war. What sort of jobs can they do? >> What sort of jobs can we do? Take a look, mister. X-ray technicians, [music] inspectors of army meetat, teachers, schooling our soldiers. Wax are classification experts, assignment interviewers. >> So, this is a man's war, is it? Wax are at work on every sort of army vehicle, doing every sort of motor transport job, testing walkie-talkies, testing radio tubes. Those are just a few of the jobs they do. There are 239 more. Hey, you two armchair generals on the porch, here's something more for you to think about. Listen, General Eisenhower said, "In many jobs, wax do the work of two men. The army needs and can use all it can get." And listen to the women of the United Nations. They too have some ideas on the subject. The English with their calm courage. [music] The stalward women of heroic Russia, the Canadian and Australian women, the women of China with their undying fortitude, and tens of thousands of American wax. What are their ideas on the subject? Listen. >> We shall live up to the legends of our fighting men. [music] >> Where did these thousands come from? Where will the United States Army [music] get thousands more? Thousands to back up manpower for battle abroad. Who are the women who will help retain the [music] needed manpower for the production battle at home? Who are the women who will help fight [music] our country's war? It's Mary Jones, Jane Doe. It's the idol housewife and the girl next door. Oh yes, it's your war too, Miss and Mrs. America. >> Here at Fort Oggothorp in Georgia, one of the most beautiful army posts in the world, we, the newly hatched blacks, gather to learn what all the shooting's about. Our kind of shooting. From morning till night, we hustle through a very novel, interesting life. Not just classes and drill and duty, but all kinds of women's sports and recreation. We work hard and play hard. [music] [music] We learn that the army's privileges as well as its hardships are ours. We get furlow rates on trains, special prices at theaters, special life insurance rates. We know that the rumors about the wax are so much hot air stockings all the time. >> Talkings that stockings all the time. >> Off duty rayon or whatever you can get. >> You can't use makeup. >> No rs. >> No lipstick. >> No nail polish. >> No lipstick. No nail polish. >> No r. No lipstick. No nail polish. >> No r. >> Toss that one in the ash can. Everybody's hair is alike. The same old hair do. The same old hair do. The same old >> nonsense. Our hairdress is up to us as long as it's neat, smart, and off the collar. >> All work and no fun. All work and no fun. Strictly Axis propaganda [music] from wack training centers at Fort Ogulthorp and at De Mo wax go forth to army [music] posts camps specialist schools air bases to every part of the United States Savannah St. Louis, Newport, [music] Baton Rouge, Seattle, Santa Barbara. To Washington, our nation's capital, come hundreds of wax, many to be stationed in the famous Pentagon building, and attached to the combined chiefs of staff. Wax are entrusted with tasks involving the utmost secrecy. Here, the important work of decoding messages [music] whose information must be carefully guarded and transcribed with perfect accuracy. At Abedine Proving Grounds, valuable men have been released for combat duty by wax. Inspecting mammoth tanks, computing ordinance firing tables for the light, accurate American carbines. The carbines that have canceled the effectiveness of many a Nazi and [music] many a jet. Here they also check the efficiency of remote control units and make secret ballistic measurements. These are just a few of the important and interesting jobs [music] done by WAX. At air bases here and overseas, women soldiers perform over 25 technical jobs, war jobs now, [music] but civilian careers later on. >> We are in the machine shop, in the repair shop. We rig [music] the parachute. We guide our flyers home. Altitude 5,000 ft. 5 0 0 0. Request landing instructions. >> Mitchell field tower to Army 3131. Circle field twice at 3,000 ft. >> Let me in, will you? I've got a heavy date tonight. >> H. Keep your suit on, Lieutenant. Field won't be clear for 5 minutes. >> Potential American pilots are taught blind flying by our wax. They are taught to handle night raids over Europe and the Black Pacific. Taught to navigate safely through black space loaded with hidden peril. Thousands of waxs volunteer [music] for overseas duty, eager to serve in the actual theater of operations, the goal toward [music] which they've worked and trained. >> [music] >> Wherever the American armies will go, wax may follow. [music] [music] >> [music] >> Women have proven [music] their definite value in England, in North Africa, in Alers, in New Calonia, India, and Egypt. Every whack making the war shorter by a month, a week, a day, a minute. [music] Yes. Wherever the American armies will go, wax may follow to Berlin and Tokyo, too. Ladies and gentlemen, General Marshall. The Women's Army Corps is an integral part of the Army of the United States, and its members who are soldiers in every sense of the word perform a full military part in this war. There are hundreds of important army jobs which women can perform as effectively as men. In fact, we find that they can do some of these jobs much better than the men. As more and more American soldiers engage the enemy in combat, women must replace them at overseas bases and at posts in this country. In view of the urgency of the situation, enlistment in the military service should take precedence, in my opinion, over any other responsibility except imperative family obligation. [music] >> [music] >> In 1918, we were on the sidelines. [music] When the war has been won, the women in the army will march shoulder-to-shoulder with the men in the great victory parades that will celebrate the return of peace to the world. [music] >> [music] >> So, I realized I had pulled that uh but I had forgotten to show it on Veterans Day. So, that's why we're showing it now. I It's awesome. I think it's really phenomenal. all the rumors, the myths of being a whack. All right. Um, this is a science film and it is about the mathematics of the honeycomb. It does not feature my favorite um person, Dr. Irwin Moon, who was the founder. This is another guy that came that was doing narrations later. I don't know. I don't like him as much. Anyways, enjoy. Everyone knows some things about the honeybee. Her industrious buzzing from flower to flower seeking nectar. the delicious product she makes from that nectar and the potency of her last resort defense. Such things as are commonly known about the bee do not suggest a beehive as a good place for a lesson in mathematics. But here, as in all of nature, understanding what is happening involves mathematics. For mathematics is the language of science. This piece of honeycomb, a little over an ounce, represents over 20,000 B miles for collection of nectar, the raw material, plus over 110,000 B hours spent transforming the nectar into wax, to which must be added more than 18,000 B hours for fashioning the wax into comb according to a precise pattern. Since honeycomb is so expensive to construct, it's obvious that economy and the use of wax is very important to the welfare of the hive. Is there a geometric shape which is more economical to build than any other? We have made models in which each has the same volume and the same height. Which of these requires the least amount of material to build? that is which has the smallest lateral surface area. Since the height is the same, the one with the shortest perimeter is the best. More sides mean less perimeter. Thinking of the cylinder as having an infinite number of sides shows that it uses the least material. But cylinders are only economical if they stand alone. placed together, they leave large gaps between them. Since no walls can be shared, they are wasteful of both space and material. Wherever walls lie side by side, they can be shared by two cells. That is, one wall can do the work of two. Thus, octagons in which four of eight sides can be shared save 25% on material. Triangles by sharing all their sides and squares save 50% on material. Therefore, when we consider the savings possible through the sharing of sides, the material needed to construct cylinders does not change. But the other figures require less material for they share sides. Of all the figures, the hexagon uses the least material. This is the shape the bees use. This discovery of the economy of honeycomb was made over 16 centuries ago by an Alexandrian geometer, Papus. What he and others have learned about honeycomb has been applied to build the largest grain elevator in the world. The hexagon provided the most economical, the strongest design. Such study of living things is today called bionics. Much effort is being expended to learn from a wide variety of creatures and results are coming in. Study of the eye of a beetle has resulted in a device installed on planes which measures their ground speed more accurately than had been possible before. Study of the common housefly has given us a new extremely rugged gyroscope. Indeed, there seems to be no area in which men cannot learn from the abilities and organs which God has given to his creatures. And in practically every instance, mathematical calculations are involved in understanding the animals and in applying what we learn. There is much more we can learn from honeycomb. A structural engineer can show us other advantages of the hexagon among all the patterns the bees might have used. One of his tools is the polaroscope. When certain transparent plastics are placed in a polaroscope and a stress applied, colored patterns appear. The series of rainbow changes are most numerous where the stress is most concentrated as at the corner of the notch, the weakest point on the bar. The stress patterns from various geometric shapes are most revealing. What if bees had built square cells? One of the drawbacks of square cells is that a load along a partition is not readily transferred to adjacent partitions. In triangular cells, a load at any point is distributed to several members. However, there is a major drawback. The horizontal members are loaded in compression. This is the wrong way to load a thin plate which readily buckles in hexagonal cells. However, the load is distributed as a tension. This makes maximum use of the strength of the thin wax walls. The pattern is so strong that less material is needed in the walls to support the load. Bees take advantage of this and make the walls of the cells less than 3000 of an inch thick, thinner than a sheet of paper. It's amazing, isn't it? Bees build honeycomb just as if they were graduates from the best schools of engineering using the shape which is not only the most economical but also the strongest. The understanding of the polaroscope pattern by an engineer requires a great deal of mathematics. In fact, to go into a thorough study of the structure of honeycomb, involves mathematics so complex as to require a computer. Let's look further at the way in which mathematics, some of it quite advanced, has enabled the scientist to understand the structure of the honeycomb. Some two and a half centuries ago, a French astronomer Moraldi became fascinated with bees. One thing he noted about the double rank of cells in honeycomb is that their bottoms are not flat but convex formed of three rhombi. Obviously, the obtuse angles where bottom meets wall make it easier for the bees to construct the cells and to keep them clean. But Moralti noted that there was a remarkable constancy to the angles of the rambi. They measured about 70°. He suggested that the bees had used this angle for the sake of simplicity. For if the acute angles of the rai are 70° 32 minutes, the angles of the side trapezoids are identical. Ryamure, a noted French scientist, suspected that there was a further reason for the special shape. He wrote to a number of mathematicians asking what angle would give the most economical trihedral base on a hexagonal prism. Only one Kernig came up with an answer. To get his answer, he first proved that the volume of all hexagonal prisms with trihedral bases is the same provided that the height h and the side a remain constant. This is easy to see. If a piece is cut off one place and put back on at another, the volume does not change. But as this distance changes the shape of the prism and the area of its surface change. If this distance is called x, this is the formula for the surface area. It consists of the areas of the six rectangular sides less the triangular pieces plus the areas of the three rhombic ends which can be calculated by means of the Pythagorean theorem. Substituting in this formula, calculating values for x= 0, x= 110th and so on. Plotting these values x = 4/10, 6/10 and so on. And then connecting these points gives us a graph which shows that the area is at a minimum when x lies between 3/10 and 4/10. In other words, the prism with the flat base and the prism with the very pointed base have more surface area and would require more material to build than the intermediate one. Unfortunately, no amount of graphing or even brute force calculation will yield a mathematically precise answer. But there is an elegant shortcut to an exact answer. Some 300 years ago, Newton invented the calculus. About 75 years later, when few men understood the method, Kunig manipulated the formula for the area according to the precise rules of the calculus. The mathematician calls it differentiating with respect to x and equating to zero to minimize. This process yields the precise point where the surface is at a minimum. With complete generality, this occurs when x= a, the length of a side, times the square root of 2 / 4. The cell then has the shape that B uses with the angles of the rami that moral gave. Someone may wonder whether this is so economical. Isn't it necessary to waste wax to build two-pointed ends? Bees have the answer to this. They build the cells so that the bottoms are offset. Each cell fits into the pocket formed by three cells on the opposite side. Modern science with its high-speed computers and intricate formulas for stress analysis has not been able to improve on the honeycomb. It has merely confirmed it as the ideal structural shape. But man could not understand the perfection of this pattern which the creator had given to the honeybee until after he understood the mathematics involved. For as Galileo noted, that vast book which stands forever open before our eyes, I mean the universe, cannot be read until we have learned the language. It is written in mathematical language without which it is humanly impossible to comprehend a single word. This insistence on the importance of mathematics made Galileo the father of modern science. For this discovery is the very cornerstone of science. Today continued scientific progress depends on a more thorough a broader application of mathematical concepts. Thus we can discover more of the order the creator has built into the universe. Only thus can we read further in the great book of nature which lies open before us [music] creator. Yes, it was bound to happen. You You have so much math and you have so much science, but it's a Moody Institute of Science films, so it's got to talk about the creator. Um yeah, does not disappoint. Uh, I think that um this is not as as successful as a film as those early Moody Institute of Science films which would hint at the math but would really just uh show pictures of like close-up pictures of bees um beautiful um microscope photography macro lenses and all that. That's what they were known for earlier in the day. And so this was a film that was made after the National Defense Education Act. And so it was Moody Institute of Science was trying to sell science films um with all the grants that were being given to schools to talk about math and science so that we would not fall behind the godless communists. So that's what that's all about. All right. Um, this next film is uh is long, but it's awesome nonetheless. This is part of a series uh and we've shown films from this uh Irving Jacobe uh films about mental health, but this one's great. It's uh about um mental illness and the rumor that somebody on the job on the work site is coming from the looney bin. It's called Bitter Welcome. Enjoy. [music] [music] Whatever you do going Go ahead. The guy show up yet? >> Yeah, he's out there working. What's he like? He's just a guy. Didn't notice anything queer about him. I guess it doesn't show, huh? >> Oh, he's all right. Just like I told you. He was a metal case, wasn't he? Look, Mr. Roy, you're the boss. You ask me to hire a man, I hire him. I figure you got your own reasons. >> It's nothing complicated. Fell's doctor is a friend of mine, and he gave me his personal guarantee that he could do a day's work with anybody. >> Think the doc would want him taking it easy? >> Working is part of the treatment. >> What happens to gets in the jam? back to the hospital, I guess, or the doc starts giving him some of the new drugs they're talking about. >> Look, Mr. Roy, I am not against giving the guy a break, but if anything goes haywire on this job, I'm responsible, right? I just don't want any trouble. >> Okay, we'll try the guy for a while. See how he works out. Great. Straight. Hey Tony, how about them Yankees? They sure clobbered your guys yesterday. >> Give it up, buddy. It's all over. >> Three, I'll get you five. The Yanks the pen. >> You want to bet, huh? All right, I'll make you a bet. Two to one, somebody gets killed around here before the end of the week. >> What's that supposed to be? Funny. >> Yeah. Yeah. Just a gag. It's all right. Forget it. >> What is it, Tony? What's up? >> I heard Maguire up there talking to the contractor about about some fell they just hired. >> What about it? >> Well, they said Well, they said he was fresh out of the looney bin. >> What? >> Well, maybe the guy said it. >> And they said he was still under treatment. >> Which guy? >> Well, I I didn't hear him say no name. Boy, I'm telling you, with all the stuff I got my right now, it's all need. >> That metal gives me the willies. Well, I thought it's because you don't know anything about it. >> You got a head doctor in your family? >> I got a brother in my family and he was in the hospital and he's out now and he's doing fine. He even graduated law school. >> Okay, so that's your brother. I mean, so a guy goes to school, he don't know the kind of pressures we got around here. It's the kind of job Well, it's dangerous enough. >> Yeah, without without having to worry about some cuckul getting nervous and dropping a plank on your head. >> So, which guy is it? >> Don't look at me. Who came in the last couple of days? >> A dozen guys. Hey, Aussie. >> You ever ever notice the way he goes around talking to himself? >> Could be. >> Nah, he's a nice guy. >> Oh, you know him? >> WELL, HI. HEY OUT THERE. WHAT IS THIS? THE ladies aid society. Come on. WE GOT TO POUR THAT FLAB ON MONDAY. >> [music] [music] >> Oh yeah. [music] >> [music] >> Want to try some real Swedish ham? >> No thanks. >> Here, try some. It's mighty good. >> Look, this this kind of work is pretty rough. See, you know, you're always sweating out of schedule and got the heat on you and well, when you go up away, it gets even rougher. I mean, a certain type of guy who's well like nervous or anything, you know. Well, this this just isn't a racket, you know. >> I don't understand. >> Well, I ain't I ain't exactly the calm type myself. See, but Well, I'm a real bull. See, I can take it. What I'm trying to say is I don't mean nothing personal, but Well, the boys get a little jumpy about about having a guy around who's who's got mental trouble. >> Mental? You mean like crazy? >> Well, most of the guys, they got wives and kids to worry about. >> You calling me crazy? >> Look, I'm trying to be a nice guy about it. >> Nobody's going to call me crazy. >> Hey. here. What's going on here? What's eating you guys? >> Drove me crazy. >> Well, it's the truth, ain't it? >> No, don't look at me like that, Magguire. You know what I'm talking about. Well, ask him. Ask him if this ain't the guy fresh out of a mental hospital. >> You're off base, Tony. Way off. >> Yeah. Now, look, you worked with me for years. Have I ever conjured now? I'm telling you, you're wrong. >> Come on, Tony. Forget it. Shake the guy's hand. You mean to tell me you ain't hired nobody just out of mental hospital? >> I didn't say that. All I said was it wasn't Aussie. >> Well, then who is it? >> That's my business. >> What about us? >> Yes. How something goes haywire down there? We're the guys that get it in the neck. >> Now look, I hire a man, that means he knows his job. Period. His personal life is his own business. Now, you like to drink too much beer. That's your business. Andy here wants to beat up his wife. That's his business. >> Well, what are you going to do? Just forget it? Shouldn't be so hard to figure out which guy it is. [music] [music] [music] All right. Hi. How'd it go? >> Nothing to it. Should have seen me out there, man. It was just like the old days. >> I'm making you spaghetti with meatballs. >> Well, good. Lots of Italian fellas on the job. Nice guys, you know. This one geese a surreal character. You got to hear him out there belting it out while he works. Frey. Hey, what time do we eat? supposed to be at Jerry's at 7:30. >> You wash your hands. >> Yes, ma'am. >> Oh, and if it's not too much trouble, I would like a little kiss. >> Yes, ma'am. >> Hey, you bought flowers. >> The first daffodil of the year. I couldn't resist. Carolyn. >> Everybody knows. >> What did they say? >> They don't know it's me. They just know somebody came out of a mental hospital. >> You're trembling. >> It's rugged. You listen to him talking about it and you half want to say it's me. So what? You half want to sink into the ground, run away and just get out of there. Got to give people a chance, Tommy. just that it's something they don't know very much about. It's what scares them a little. >> I know. >> He'll blow over. >> Now, how about that kid? Oh, baby. Baby, stick with me. murder. You're beating our brains off. >> We'll have to put a hex on him. >> You're over 200. >> Lucky. >> You said that every time. >> Maybe we ought to make him bold lefty. You lay down and die. Hey showster, how you doing? >> You know, I've been watching you, boy. You're a real hot shot. You know, I've been telling the boys about the the problem we got on the job. You know, I I didn't mean to start no fight out there. But, you know, in our kind of work while a guy's just got to look out for a little bit for number one, right? I've been thinking maybe we ought to come meet, huh? You know, put it up to Meguire. Just tell him that. Well, we want the guy out. I mean, well, I I don't know. I don't wish the the guy no trouble or anything, but Well, we we got our own problems, right? Yeah, Well, what happened to you? If you don't mind, I I think I'd like to knock off. >> Oh, but you were doing great. >> Oh, well, I'm I'm kind of tired myself. We've got to get up off alert. >> Yeah. Okay. Well, we'll finish it out next week. Tommy, I I've got some ash in my purse. >> No thanks. I'll settle with a pin boy, will you, Jerry? I'll settle with you next week, >> Jerry. Bye, Marie. >> The old business. >> Sometimes I I wonder how much of it had to do with Carolyn. Remember years ago before he had the trouble, she was thinking of leaving him. Well, then when he got sick, she stuck it out. >> Well, you know, he never was the easiest character in the world to get along with. Always suspicious, always accusing her. It's >> kind of hard being married to a girl so much livelier. >> Well, all I know is they're trying so hard. I want them to make it. Well, nothing had bothered me. I remember in the hospital that feeling like everything was against me, not having a family, waiting too long to get married. But that was the sickness. People don't dislike me. They don't care one way or the other. I know that. So then why are those guys on the job starting trouble? I don't expect them to be friends. But can't they just leave me alone? Now remember, Mary, I want you to go home right after school. >> Do we have to go through that all over again? Look, >> I don't want you to think I'm mean, but you're just a kid, and I don't want you running around the streets with the boys all for Miss America. Now look, >> I'm late for school now. >> Oh gosh, I'm late. >> To remind you that the payment >> Okay. >> [music] >> Okay. Hey, you won't work with a guy. Nothing I can do about it. >> You going to get rid of him? >> Look, we don't mean to cause the guy no trouble. Why don't you make it easy for him? Huh? I mean, you know, talk to his doctor or something. Find out the best way to tell it. Personally, I I feel sorry for the guy. All right, I'll talk to Mr. Roy. What's going on over there? Oh, they're trying to dump that guy. >> You know, the one who was in the mental hospital. >> Me? Yeah, it's me. >> I'm sorry. >> It's okay. >> I mean, if there's anything I could do. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Thanks. >> I'm sorry. Guess I said that before, didn't I? >> You up already Saturday. want some coffee? I don't blame you. I make rotten coffee. It runs in my family. My mother's always used to turn out practically like water. And pop, he used to say, there's no such thing as strong coffee, just weak people. I think at least they could give you a chance. >> You can't blame them. They've got their own worries. >> You told me Rainey's bought a house he doesn't know how he's going to pay for. Andy's got five kids. So, you were sick. Millions of people get sick. John, listen. May maybe you ought to go talk to the doctor. Maybe he could give you some advice. >> Advice isn't going to keep me on the job. >> Well, then forget it. You can get another job. >> It'll be the same. Sooner or later, they'll find out. Why don't you say it the truth that you just stick around because you're sorry for me? >> Do me a favor. Let me decide how I feel. >> I'm a big girl. I'm here because it's what I want. >> You mean you didn't stay around out of pity? Maybe it's a little at first, but not now. Why is it so hard for you to believe that somebody can love you? I don't know. Mom, you want them to give you a chance? Give me a chance. I don't know what to do. What do I do? Okay, I'll go see the doctor. What have I got to lose? Shuster Lou Riley, remember me? I was at the hospital. >> How are you doing? >> Pretty good. Worked at the railroad depot. Be 6 months this week. Kind of different from the last time I saw you. Month after I got home, I used to get a kick just out of opening doors. Being able to walk to the corner, doing anything I liked. >> You're looking great. >> Well, that's that's when play with my kids on the weekend. That's what I miss most back there. >> Well, how you doing? >> So, so, Mr. Well, so long. See you around. Take it easy, but take it. Doc, I've been thinking maybe I ought to go back for a while to the hospital. I mean what makes it hard for people to understand, >> you know. >> Yeah. Like Dr. Myers used to say, it's a hangover from the old days when metal stuff was was something mysterious. I keep telling myself anyway. Only the guys on the job found out. Now it looks like I'm going to be fired. And that's why you want to go back to the hospital. >> I know. You told me there'd be problems, things I'd have to handle. But they don't give a guy a chance. >> You have to fight for the chance. It's not easy. Nobody ever told you it would be easy. >> They're not bad fellas or anything. They just don't understand. >> You may have to help them. >> There's this one guy, Rainy. He's the main one pushing to get me out. I had the thought that if I could talk to him, explain things to him. Lay it on the line. That might help. >> It might. Isn't there someone else on the job? Somebody a little more friendly. >> Well, there's this guy I work with. He seems okay. I don't know. Why should he worry about me? The foreman seems like a nice Joe, but he's got his own troubles. It's his job to get a building up, not care a sickle. You think you're sick? I was sick. No, Rainy's the one I've got to fight it out with. If I could just talk to him, explain it to him, make him see how it is. Yep. That's the way to handle it. >> If you think so. >> I don't know why I didn't see it all before. It's simple. >> Well, maybe it's not so simple, but I'm going to have a crack at it. Look, I'm I'm I'm through taking this smart Alex stuff. You better get that through your head. >> Tony, >> you better think of something better to do than play that crazy music and go running all over town with a bunch of delinquents. >> Okay, you don't have to screw. >> Tony, you've got company. Hm. Oh, hi. I uh guess I picked a bad time. Ah, it's okay. Forget it. It's my kid. She's 15 years old and every time you turn around, she's running around with the boys. Tell you, it's driving me out of my mind. Tell me, what do you do with him? >> Well, I guess it's the age. I say white, she says black. Uh, she's got a stubborn streak on her a mile wide. >> Takes after a father. >> Kid was brought up in a nice house. It ain't it ain't as if we Well, we never taught her nothing. Well, maybe she just needs to feel that you're with her, that uh she can talk to you and and get a fair shake. >> Yeah. Yeah. Sit down. Sit down. Okay. I know it just what you said. Honey, coming from him, it it just makes more sense. >> Well, what's on your mind? >> Well, it's sort of personal. >> Why don't I make some coffee? >> Look, Mr. Rainey, I >> Tony, huh? The guy that you're so worried about on the job, the one who was in a mental hospital, it's me. >> You're kidding. I came over because I wanted a chance to tell you about it. You see, you've got to begin this way. There isn't anybody in the world who doesn't have a breaking point. Sure, with different people it's different, but anybody will break down if the pressure gets too much for them. Okay, so you're sick. But that's what it is, sick. Treatment will make you well. Nowadays, they've got drugs and other stuff and and when you come out of the hospital, you you can live just like anybody else. Yeah, but this guy I mean Well, I I heard Maguire say that he was Well, that you were still going to the doctor. Well, if a man's had pneumonia, he goes back to the doctor even when he's up and around. If a guy's back on the job, that's proof that he's better. >> I I I see what you mean. Except, well, a a guy has gone off once, how do you know when it's going to happen again? Maybe even on the job. >> How do you know a guy isn't going to drop dead of a heart attack on the job? You got a point. Look, I I I appreciate you coming here to see me and all that. I guess it wasn't easy, but this this business about a guy blowing his cork, you you saw me with a girl. Still, I I guess I could be a good guy and say, "Forget it." But well, to be perfectly honest with you, I cigarette. You know that job out there is pretty tough. A guy could get himself something easier. But what a man knows best. That's what he ought to do. Look, if you just give me a Well, I better be going. Sorry bothered you. It's okay. Forget it. See you. Yeah. >> [music] [music] >> I hate to do it. >> I'm telling you, they won't work for a guy. What's so special about him? We got to knock ourselves off. >> If I fire him, it makes the doctor right. That's how I got into this thing. The doc says it was tough to make a comeback after leaving a mental hospital. And I said, "Applesauce. Any man that can do a day's work can get a job. >> What's going on out there? >> Hey, there scaffold went out on him. >> Hey, it's the psycho. It's knew the guy would crack up. I knew he should be out of here. He's got him. He's pulling him in. Uh, >> the guy's a menace. I tell you, he'll wind up killing somebody. That shoulder. >> Shut up, Renie. That's not up there. I tell you that's him. He's a looney they hired. >> What are you doing down here? >> All right. I guess I made a mistake. Well, look, I can make a mistake. >> Yeah. You thought I went off halfcock. You've been making a >> I still think you ought to be out of here. >> Okay, that's your opinion, but you could be wrong, Tony. >> Come on, Wario. Give the guy a break. I want a cigarette. >> Thanks. Come on. >> I guess they'll work with the guy now. >> You going to be ready to pour in section six on Monday? >> We'll be ready. >> Want to? Thanks. I live downtown. >> Okay. See you. >> See you tomorrow. [music] Hi, Tommy. There's a man down the street with a horse and wagon selling tomatoes. And you know that horse looks just like my cousin Eddie. You know, I I was thinking today about about your job and everything. Well, I I went down to the shipping room and talked to Chuck. He's the fellow in charge. Well, there there's just a chance he may be able to take you on. Well, I thought of something else. You know that that friend of Mr. Ellis, the one who runs the paper factory? Now, he hires an awful lot of people. And I'll bet he could give you a job. >> I've got a job. >> But I thought they >> It's okay. Everything worked out okay. >> What happened? Guy stuck up for me. >> Oh, Tommy. >> Well, not Rainy. He still doesn't want me around. Okay, so I'm never going to have everybody on my side. >> Oh, Tommy, that's right. >> I can just get it through my head that there are some people I can depend on. Hey, I love you. >> I don't know how long I' I've waited for that. You never say it. >> I love you. Oh, >> nice. And how about me? How I feel about you? Well, I guess you love me. I may not believe that tomorrow. >> But you do believe it now. Well, that's something. It's the beginning. Careful, you crush the tomatoes. >> [music] [music] >> Hooray. Um, yeah, I apologize for the stuttering. I mean, if I was running this on a film projector, I wouldn't have to worry about the fact that the film projector app was devouring a bunch of system resources and was slowing everything down. But that's what happened. Um, and so I had to quit uh a couple of apps. And so there you go. And uh I noticed in the comments everybody's talking about how great cigarettes are. I mean, I don't know if you remember last Tuesday when I showed uh some of the films about occupational therapy for uh veterans and for other folks, how one of the occupational therapy uh kind of exercises was learning how to uh light and smoke a cigarette. So that's tells you a lot about what was important uh to one's own well-being back in the day is uh well let's give them something that they uh they can do with their hands and and gives them makes them feel normal like where they can smoke a cigarette. So that's what that was all about. Thanks so much for joining us today in spite of the technical problems. It always happens. So thank you for that. Uh, I just transferred a diet right cola uh film that I'm hoping to share with you tomorrow. Um, when we will be back, but hit the thumbs up and the like even though maybe we didn't deserve it today, but I love that film. Bitter welcome is so great. It's that reveal of like, well, you know how they're talking about the the person from the mental hospital? That's me. So anyways, I I love that stuff. Uh so uh join us tomorrow. Also, I'll just as a reminder say that if you're in the Triangle area, we're showing films about how dangerous uh your home can be to you called Don't Try This at Home uh tomorrow at the Alamo Draft House at 7:00. Would love to see you there. We got some tickets left. We're in the big theater, which is kind of scary for me because we've I've never done a show in the big theater. Um, but I'm hoping we can fill it up enough so that we can continue doing shows in that theater. But if not, we'll just go back to the other theater, I think. Uh, anyways, love you guys.
