I owe everything to George Bailey.
Help my friend Mr. Bailey.
Help my son George tonight.
George is a good guy.
Watch over him tonight.
Something's the matter with Daddy.
Please bring Daddy back.
Whose turn is it?
It's that clock-maker's turn again.
We've passed him up right along.
A man down on earth needs our help.
Then I've only got an hour to dress.
What are they wearing now?
You will spend that hour getting acquainted with George Bailey.
What's that book you've got there?
The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.
I don't see a thing.
You haven't got your wings yet.
Something happens here you'll have to remember later on.
George saved his brother's life that day.
Wish I had a million dollars.
Two cents worth of shoelaces?
She was here first.
You like every boy.
What's wrong with that?
Made up your mind yet?
I don't like coconuts.
You don't like coconuts!
I never saw it before.
Of course you never.
Only us explorers can get it.
I've been nominated for membership in the National Geographic Society.
Is this the ear you can't hear on?
You're not paid to be a canary.
Anything I can do back here?
Take these capsules over to Mrs. Blaine's.
There's a squall in there that's shapin' up into a storm.
Just thirty short days.
I'll dig up that five thousand somehow.
A lot of these people are out of work.
I can't do that.
These families have children.
They're not my children.
But they're somebody's children.
Are you running a business or a charity ward?
Not with my money!
You can't begin to spend all the money you've got.
He's not a failure!
You can't say that about my father!
You're the biggest man in town!
Gives you an idea of the Baileys.
I'll talk to you tonight.
Where's Mrs. Blaine's box of capsules?
Did you hear what I said?
Why didn't you deliver them right away?
Don't you know that boy's very sick?
You're hurting my sore ear.
You put something wrong in those capsules.
I know you're unhappy.
You put something bad in those capsules.
Just look and see what you did.
Look at the bottle you took the powder from.
Don't hurt my sore ear again.
Don't hurt my ear again!
I know what you're feeling.
I won't ever tell a soul.
What did you stop it for?
I want you to take a good look at that face.
It's a good face.
I like George Bailey.
Did he ever marry the girl?
Did he ever go exploring?
How much does this cost?
It sounded as if you said no charge.
What's my name doing on it?
A little present from old man Gower.
Came down and picked it out himself.
What boat you sailing on?
I'm working across on a cattle boat.
thanks ever so much for the bag.
It's just exactly what I wanted.
Hope you enjoy it.
Wish I had a million dollars.
You got your sea legs yet?
George waves up at them and continues on across the street.
How about driving me home in style?
That's some dress you got on there.
Think I'll go home and see what the wife's doing.
You're shaking the house down!
I wish I was up there with them.
Harry'll tear his dinner suit.
That's why all children should be girls.
Come down to dinner this minute.
Everything's getting cold and you know we've been waiting for you.
There's a moon out tonight.
I'm going to take over a lot of plates and things.
Uncle Billy and I are going to miss you.
I wonder what's eating that old money grubbing buzzard anyway?
Couldn't want a better death.
I hope it works.
Boys and girls and music.
Why do they need gin?
Your mother and I talked it over half the night.
We have that all figured out.
He's pretty young for that job.
Still after that first million before you're thirty.
I would if I thought I'd hear anything worth listening to.
I know it's soon to talk about it.
I want to do something big and something important.
Most of my friends have already finished college.
You get yourself an education.
Then get out of here.
I think you're a great guy.
About time one of you lunkheads said it.
I'm going to miss old Annie.
I'm going to put him through college.
When did you get here?
I thought I'd give the kids a treat.
You're the guy I want to see.
Coach has heard all about you.
He's followed every game and his mouth's watering.
Putting a pool under this floor was a great idea.
Saved us another building.
That's the reason why I came in fourth.
Nobody'd ever tell you whoever it was because they'd be scared.
You look at me as if you didn't know me.
You've passed me on the street almost every day.
That was a little girl named Mary Hatch.
The big Charleston contest.
A genuine loving cup.
I'm not very good at this.
Did you know there's a swimming pool under this floor?
We must be good.
Buffalo Gals can't you come out tonight.
Just like an organ.
And I told Harry I thought I'd be bored to death.
You should have seen the commotion in that locker room.
Do I look as funny as you do?
I guess I'm not quite the football type.
Maybe I will say it.
How old are you anyway?
Too young or too old?
Your age fits you.
A pox upon me for a clumsy lout.
You may kiss my hand.
I love that old house.
I'd like to live in it.
I wouldn't live in it as a ghost.
right on the second floor there.
and then I'm going to build things.
I'm gonna build air fields.
Are you gonna throw a rock?
What'd you wish when you threw that rock?
If I told you it might not come true.
What do you want?
You want the moon?
Am I talking too much?
Why don't you kiss her instead of talking her to death?
Why don't you kiss her instead of talking her to death?
Over here in the hydrangea bushes.
What am I doing?
This is a very interesting situation.
Please give me my robe.
A man doesn't get in a situation like this every day.
I'd like to have my robe.
This requires a little thought here.
Give me my robe!
I'm going to tell your mother on you.
I'll call the police.
I'm going to scream!
Maybe I could sell tickets.
Your father's had a stroke!
I've got to go.
Did you get a doctor?
I know you're anxious to make a train.
I have a taxi waiting downstairs.
Wait just a minute now.
Peter Bailey died three months ago.
I second Mr. Potter's motion.
In that case I'll ask the two executive officers to withdraw.
Thank you very much.
I'll go further than that.
Peter Bailey was not a business man.
That's what killed him.
You have all the papers there.
I can personally vouch for his character.
A friend of yours?
What does that get us?
You're right when you say my father was no business man.
I'm not interested in your book.
I'm talking about the Building and Loan.
I know very well what you're talking about.
You're the Board here.
You do what you want with this thing.
You shut his big mouth.
Cousin Eustace) You should have heard him.
We heard a lot of yelling.
You're a week late for school already.
room) I wonder what's going on in there?
Don't worry about that.
They voted Potter down!
That's the best part of it.
You can keep him on.
As secretary you can hire anyone you like.
I'm leaving right now.
I'm going to school.
This is my last chance.
There's the professor now!
Nobody ever changes around here.
She's home cooking the fatted calf.
How do you do.
What am I doing?
My father offered him a job.
Ruth spoke out of turn.
I never said I'd take it.
It was a surprise to me.
I've heard him speak of you.
that's all Harry ever talks about.
what about this job?
He wants to get Harry started in the research business.
Is it a good job?
Harry's a genius at research.
My father fell in love with him.
I feel so good I could spit in Potter's eye.
I think I will.
Which one is mine?
Now you just turn this way and go right straight down.
How do you like her?
Looks like she can keep Harry on his toes.
Did you know that Mary Hatch is back from school?
Came back three days ago.
Sam's crazy about Mary.
Did she discuss it with you?
And all's fair in love and war?
I don't know about war.
I think I got a date.
Where are you going?
what are you doing tonight?
Let's make a night of it.
Then we can go up to the falls.
Then we can climb Mt.
Walk in the grass in my bare feet?
I just happened to be passing by.
Have you made up your mind?
Have you made up your mind?
My mother just called you?
Didn't you tell her?
I didn't tell anybody.
When did you get back?
Where'd you get that dress?
Do you like it?
I guess I was homesick.
I still can't understand it though.
You know I didn't tell anybody I was coming here.
Would you rather leave?
Don't you like her?
Who's down there with you?
What do you want?
I just came in to get warm.
Sam Wainwright promised to call you from New York tonight.
What did you come here for?
You're supposed to be the one that has all the answers.
That's where I'm going.
I don't know why I came here in the first place!
I forgot my hat.
sees George still there) There's an old friend of yours here.
You mean old moss-back George?
He asked for him.
What're you trying to do?
What do you mean?
Nobody's trying to steal your girl.
I want to talk to both of you.
Tell Mary to get on the extension.
Mother's on the extension.
We can both hear.
He's going to build a factory outside of Rochester.
How do you like that?
Can you think of anything better?
why not right here?
The chance of a lifetime.
He says it's the chance of a lifetime.
Now you listen to me!
I don't want any plastics!
I want to do what I want to do.
Somebody's driving this cab.
He said to float away to Happy Land on the bubbles.
Where are we going?
of bills) Look at this.
I feel like a bootlegger's wife.
You know what we're going to do?
We're going to shoot the works.
A whole week in New York.
A whole week in Bermuda.
There are a lot of seats over there.
Just make yourselves at home.
Why didn't you call me?
How did it start?
How does anything like this ever start?
About an hour ago.
I had to hand over all our cash.
The whole town's gone crazy.
I've just guaranteed the bank sufficient funds to meet their needs.
He just took over the bank.
If you close your doors before six P.M.
you will never reopen.
The bank's going to reopen next week.
Did he guarantee this place?
I didn't even ask him.
I'll take mine now.
you're thinking of this place all wrong.
As if I had the money back in a safe.
The money's not here.
Now what are you going to do?
You'll get your money in sixty days.
Fifty cents on the dollar!
Now give us sixty days on this.
Are you going to go to Potter's?
Better to get half than nothing.
now listen to me.
I beg of you not to do this thing.
He's already got charge of the bank.
Have you forgotten what he charged you for that broken-down shack?
Do you think Potter would have let you keep it?
room again) Can't you understand what's happening here?
Don't you see what's happening?
Because we're panicky and he's not.
How am I going to live until the bank opens?
I got doctor bills to pay.
Can't feed my kids on faith.
How much do you need?
I got two thousand dollars!
Here's two thousand dollars.
This'll tide us over until the bank reopen.
Two hundred and forty-two dollars!
I'll take two hundred and forty-two dollars.
That'll close my account.
Your account's still here.
what'll it take till the bank reopens?
What do you need?
Never mind about that.
How much do you want?
And I'll sign a paper.
You don't have to sign anything.
I know you'll pay it back when you can.
Could I have seventeen-fifty?
You got fifty cents?
They'll never close us up today!
We've still got two bucks left!
We're a couple of financial wizards.
Get a tray for these great big important simoleons.
We'll save them for seed.
They raise their glasses.
I wish they were rabbits.
I wish they were too.
for her) Poor Mary.
I wonder if Ernie's still here with his taxicab?
Mrs. Bailey is on the phone.
I don't want Mrs. Bailey.
I want my wife.
How would you like to get a ticket next week?
Haven't you any romance in you?
Who wants to see liver pills on their honeymoon?
Get that ladder up here.
Remember the night we broke the windows in this old house?
This is what I wished for.
I own the house.
I own my own house.
No more we live like pigs in thisa Potter's Field.
I'll bring the kids in the car.
Now get right up on the seat there.
The Martinis cross themselves.
he's always making a speech.
giving her loaf of bread) Bread!
That this house may never know hunger.
That life may always have flavor.
I'm just your little rent collector.
Congressman Blatz is here to see you.
Used to hunt rabbits there myself.
Look at it today.
Dozens of the prettiest little homes you ever saw.
You know very well why.
The Baileys were all chumps.
Why don't you have your friends join us?
I'm not rubbing it in.
See you in the funny papers.
Thanks for dropping around.
I'll send you a box.
But I haven't been able to do it.
You have been stopping me.
You and I were the only ones that kept our heads.
twenty thousand dollars a year?
Is it a deal or isn't it?
You go on home and talk about it to your wife.
I'd like to do that.
And it goes for you too!
You wouldn't mind living in the nicest house in town.
And I'm going to build things.
I'm going to build air fields.
I'm going to build skyscrapers a hundred stories high.
I'm going to build a bridge a mile long.
You want the moon?
To keep from being an old maid.
You could have married Sam Wainwright or anybody else in town.
I didn't want to marry anybody else in town.
I want my baby to look like you.
You didn't even have a honeymoon.

Gower and Uncle Billy sold war bonds.
Bert the cop was wounded in North Africa.
Marty helped capture the Remagen Bridge.
Harry Bailey topped them all.
Don't you know there's a war on?
On V-J Day he wept and prayed again.
I think it's marvelous.
Be sure you spell the name right.
Read all about it!
It's Harry now on long distance from Washington!
What do you know about that?
He reversed the charges.
What do you mean it's okay?
Wait till Martha hears about this.
What did they have to eat?

The Navy's going to fly Mother home this afternoon.
Has Uncle Billy come in yet?
I'll be right back.
We're all excited around here.
My brother just got the Congressional Medal of Honor.
The President just decorated him.
He wants to talk to Uncle Billy.
I want to spend Christmas in Elmira with my family.
We'll fix you up.
That couldn't be one of the Bailey boys?
How does slacker George feel about that?
He only lost three buttons off his vest.
Not every heel was in Germany and Japan!
Uncle Billy and bank teller at the window.
I guess you forgot something.
it's usually customary to bring the money with you.
How about that one there?
Take me back there.
Come on in the office here.
He's on the telephone.
I should have my head examined.
It's got to be somewhere.
Want to walk to New York?
Good luck to you.
Say hello to New York for me.
I'll be right with you.
What's the matter with you?
Come here a minute.
Did you see Uncle Billy with any cash last night?
Not even a stick of gum.
And did you put the envelope in your pocket?
I don't want any maybe.
Do you have any secret hiding place here in the house?
Someplace you could have put it?
Someplace to hide the money?
I can't think any more.
That's what it means!
One of us is going to jail!
How do you like it?
Did you bring the wreath?
Did you bring the Christmas wreath?
The Merry Christmas wreath for the window.
I left it at the office.
Where's your coat and hat?
Left them at the office.
Must she keep playing that?
Better hurry and shave.
The families will be here soon.
Have a hectic day?
You should see it.
Excuse you for what?
Now go upstairs and see what little Zuzu wants.
What's the matter with Zuzu?
Caught it coming home from school.
The doctor says it's nothing serious.
Was the doctor here?
He says it's nothing to worry about.
Is she running a temperature?
I don't know why we don't all have pneumonia.
This drafty old barn!
Might as well be living in a refrigerator.
You call this a happy family?
Why did we have to have all these kids?
Going up to see Zuzu.
He told me to write a play for tonight.
I won a flower.
Where do you think you're going?
Want to give my flower a drink.
I'll give it a drink.
Give the flower a drink.
Will you try to get some sleep?
I want to look at my flower.
I'm sure she'll be all right.
Is that Zuzu's teacher?
Let me speak to her.
I'll hang her up!
Will you get out and let me handle this?
How should I know?
You've played it over and over again.
you go on and practice.
What do you want to know?
What's the matter with everybody?
I told you to practice.
Is Daddy in trouble?
Shall I pray for him?
They called me up from your Building and Loan.
He's looking for you.
Can't you see what it means to my family?
There's nothing wrong with the books.
I've just misplaced eight thousand dollars.
I can't find it anywhere.
You misplaced eight thousand dollars?
Have you notified the police?
I didn't want the publicity.
They're going to believe that one.
Playing the market with the company's money?
I can't get hold of him.
You're the only one in town that can help me.
I've suddenly become quite important.
Have you got any stocks?
Collateral of any kind?
how much is your equity in it?
You used to be so cocky!
You were going to go out and conquer the world!
You're worth more dead than alive.
You can't hide in a little town like this.
How about some of that good spaghetti?
I'm at the end of my rope.
Want someone to take you home?
This is Christmas Eve.
This is Mr. George Bailey.
She cried for an hour.
I want to pay for my drink.
Never mind the money.
You get out of here quick.
You hit my best friend.
His name is Welch.
That's what I get for praying.
The last time he come in here.
Where's my insurance policy?
What do you think you're doing?
Now look what you did.
My greatgrandfather planted this tree.
Get this car out of here!
Look where you're going!
I didn't have time to get some stylish underwear.
My wife gave me this on my last birthday.
I passed away in it.
You should read the new book Mark Twain's writing now.
How'd you happen to fall in?
I didn't fall in.
I jumped in to save George.
Go through with what?
It's against the law to commit suicide around here.
Where do you come from?
I had to act quickly; that's why I jumped in.
I knew if I were drowning you'd try to save me.
I'm the answer to your prayer.
That's why I was sent down here.
How do you know my name?
I've watched you grow up from a little boy.
I wonder what Martini put in those drinks?
What did you say just a minute ago?
Why'd you want to save me?
That's what I was sent down for.
I'm your guardian angel.
I wouldn't be a bit surprised.
Ridiculous of you to think of killing yourself for money.
just things like that.
Now how'd you know that?
I know everything about you.
What happened to your wings?
I haven't won my wings yet.
That's why I'm an angel Second Class.
By letting me help you.
Only one way you can help me.
You don't happen to have eight thousand bucks on you?
We don't use money in Heaven.
I found it out a little late.
I'm worth more dead than alive.
I won't get my wings with that attitude.
You just don't know all that you've done.
I guess you're right.
I said I wish I'd never been born.
Heaven) What do you think?
You don't have to make all that fuss about it.
What did you say?
You've never been born.
Say something else in that ear.
You can hear out of it.
Must have been that jump in the cold water.
Our clothes are dry.
What do you know about that?
Stove's hotter than I thought.
I haven't got any wings.
You haven't got your wings.
You have no car.
I beg your pardon?
You must mean two other trees.
You had me worried.
One of the oldest trees in Pottersville.
Don't you think I know where I live?
What's the matter with you?
Martini's a good friend of mine.
There's a place to sit down.
Nick is wiping off the bar as they sit down.
You want a martini?
You want a drink or don't you?
That's a good man.
I was just thinking of a flaming rum punch.
What's he talking about?
What's the matter with him.
I never saw Nick act like that before.
You'll see a lot of strange things from now on.
You got someplace to sleep?
No wonder you jumped in the river.
Somebody's just made it.
Don't they believe in angels?
Then why should they be surprised when they see one?
He never grew up.
And that's another thing.
Where do you come off calling me Nick?
What's that got to do with it?
I don't know you from Adam's off ox.
Didn't I tell you never to come panhandling around here?
This is George Bailey!
Don't you know me?
That rumhead spent twenty years in jail for poisoning a kid.
Would you show these gentlemen to the door.
I'm giving out wings!
I'm your guardian angel.
You told me that.
What else are you?
are you a hypnotist?
It's because you were not born.
You have no identity.
My name's George Bailey.
There is no George Bailey.
as George searches for them) George looks in his watch pocket.
Wait a minute here.
I'm going home and see my wife and family.
Do you understand that?
And I'm going home alone!
Where did the Building and Loan move to?
The Building and what?
The Bailey Building and Loan.
It was up there.
They went out of business years ago.
I know that girl!
I'm off my nut!
Where do you live?
You know where I live.
You seen my wife?
I've been to your house a hundred times.
Just step on it.
Just get me home.
Is this the place?
Of course it's the place.
You have no children.
What have you done with them?
Thank heaven you're here!
What's the matter with you two guys?
You were here on my wedding night.
Think I'd better be going.
Everything's going to be all right.
I had him right here.
I need a drink.
Help me find 'em.
What do you want?
I thought sure you'd remember me.
If you're looking for a room there's no vacancy.
Something terrible's happened to me.
I don't know what it is.
Something's happened to everybody.
Please let me come in.
Keep me here until I get over it.
When'd you see him last?
use logic) I've heard of things like this.
You know where he lives?
Sure I know where he lives.
He lives in Bailey Park.
Are you sure this is Bailey Park?
All I know is this should be Bailey Park.
But where are the houses?
You weren't here to build them.
Harry Bailey went to war!
He got the Congressional Medal of Honor!
He saved the lives of every man on that transport.
Every man on that transport died.
I'm not supposed to tell.
She's an old maid.
She's just about to close up the library!
Don't you know me?
I don't know you!
Somebody call the police!
Hit him with a bottle!
He needs a strait jacket!
I don't care what happens to me.
Only get me back to my wife and kids.
I want to live again.
I want to live again.
I've been looking all over town trying to find you.
What do you know about that?
I'll bet it's a warrant for my arrest.
Have you seen my wife?
arms) I could eat you up!
She went looking for you with Uncle Billy.
How do you feel?
And not a smitch of temperature.
Where have you been?
Let me touch you!
You have no idea what's happened to me.
They're on their way.
Come on in here now.
Another run on the bank?
The line forms on the right.
Step right up here.
I made the rounds of my charge accounts.
I changed my mind.
I got the faculty all up out of bed.
Zuzu) And here's something for you to play with.
Mr. Gower cables you need cash.
My office instructed to advance you up to twenty-five thousand dollars.
Heehaw and Merry Christmas.
How about some wine?
The fool flew all the way up here in a blizzard.
The richest man in town!
That's a Christmas present from a very dear friend of mine.
