AV Geeks 16mm Lunch 6-10-2026

Hello everybody. I'm Skip Alzheimer. Welcome to the Age Geeks Lunchtime streaming show where we watch old 16 mm films. And my uh printer is beeping. Um I'm making some DVDs for somebody and I didn't time that well. Anyways, uh so that last thing that we just saw was scare story um from the Pllinger archive. uh and it's AB roll material which means that there is image then there's slug and then there's a corresponding reel somewhere in the world and um yeah it was uh you know the idea is that you would get a can that would have all the elements would have the A- roll B-roll on a separate reel then you would have a soundtrack reel that would be either optical magnetic and chances are this was they only found one reel. So, man, I'd love to know the story. Um, [clears throat] somebody just asked me, "How was the silent disco?" Uh it was great although uh it was punctuated by uh the Knicks game because it was in New York and so everybody was like dancing and then they would stop dancing and they would look at the game which was being shown on a uh projection uh television and they would stop dancing and then they would start dancing again. Uh so there you go. Okay. Uh I've got the scanner behind me. Let's see if we can get it to cooperate today. Every day is a different day. Um, this one is teenagers. How to keep a job. Fingers crossed. Wreck projection. >> [music] >> Most teenagers want to work. First of all, it means getting a regular paycheck, [music] and that sounds great. And it's a way to be more independent, a chance to stand on your own two feet. No wonder so many teenagers want part-time jobs. independent and gives you the ability to do what you want to do and have that little extra money on the side. Well, I think it's important to work hard when you've got a part-time job because the people who employ you will be your contacts later on and they'll also be the people who'll be writing you letters of recommendation later on when you go out into the real world for a full-time job. >> I like hiring teenagers. I like their enthusiasm and their energy. >> Oh, I enjoy working with them. We all do. They're bright. They're alive. Um, they learn easily. They not may not have experience, but they learn [music] very well. >> But once you found a job, what then? Well, that's only [music] the beginning. Keeping it can be the tricky part. The truth is, the way you handle a job is not only important while you've got it. It can make a real difference to your future, too. A job becomes part of your work record and can make it easier to get a better job the next time around. Your record not only impresses employers, but colleges, too. And probably most important, it's a hands-on chance to learn about the realities of the working world. Approximately half of all high school students [music] now work. That's over 6 million teenagers. For most teens, it's a pretty good [music] experience. But for others, far more than you might think, the job ends badly. One recent survey shows that teenage employees are fired three times more often than they quit. Why? What goes wrong? How can you make sure your own job experience will be a good one? Well, listen. Uh probably the number one priority is attitude. If you have a positive attitude about the job, then you uh will be successful on it. >> Always have a good attitude even when you're upset. But if something's bothering you, I think you should tell your boss about it. Also try to get along with others because if you don't you you're going to have problems obviously. >> Well, it's important to be excited about what you're doing, to be interested in what you're doing. I mean, if you're lazy and, you know, sit around and do your homework while you're working part-time or something like that, you're probably not going to impress a whole lot of people. >> Teenagers often don't realize how their attitude affects their job. >> Look, Ronnie, we've been over this again and again. Things have to be lined up neatly like this, not all jumbled up. Well, >> can't you see I'm doing my best? >> Well, no, Ronnie. And I'm afraid I'm going to have to let you go. >> You mean I'm fired? >> Well, yes. I'm afraid so. >> Okay, Mr. North. >> Getting fired is no fun. >> Lousy job is >> nobody wants to go through it. And that goes for bosses, too. >> It's always difficult to fire somebody. um you bring them in, you train them, you spend a lot of money, you know, training the person, bringing them up to the ranks. Uh when it happens, uh you don't want to have to do it, but sometimes people get into the wrong field. Uh they just don't fit in and you need to let them go. >> Part of management is sometimes we have to fire people uh for not following rules and guidelines and stuff like that. And yes, it is uh very hard to do. >> No one wants to get fired, but how do you avoid it? Well, the first step is finding the right job. The right job for you, a job that's suited to the type of person you are and what your interests are. Teenagers today probably have more types of jobs to choose from than ever before. Fast food restaurants are one of the major employers of teenagers. If you like a lot of activity and like the idea of working with people, this could be a good place for you. If you're into fashion, you'll probably enjoy working in a boutique or a department store. An office job might be good preparation for the [music] kind of work you want to do after graduation. Or would you rather work outdoors? Check out recreation departments, city parks, and amusement parks. Supermarkets also hire a lot of teenagers. So do [music] record stores, movie theaters, and gas stations. There are all kinds of opportunities. Just keep in mind that employers are just as eager to find you as you are to find them. But it can take time to find a job, and the best ones go fast. So if you're hoping to work during the summer or holiday season, start your job hunt a few months in advance. Newspaper want ads are one of the first places people look for jobs. But the surprising thing is most jobs aren't even listed there. So ask your friends and relatives for leads. Ask everyone you know. Let them know you're serious about finding a job. It's one of the best ways to find work. And check bulletin boards. Many people find jobs this way. Keep your eyes open. You never know when you'll spot a help wanted [music] sign. Don't get discouraged if you don't find a job right away. It may take a while, but there's always someone who needs you. Even if there's no sign out front, it never hurts to go in and ask, but make sure you speak to the manager. An employee [music] might not know if there's anything available. Once you locate some good job prospects, there are two important points to remember: appearance and attitude. You've heard about the importance of first impressions. So, make sure you're clean and that your clothes are clean. Keep in mind that some of the latest styles may not be acceptable for many jobs. So, play it safe and dress on the conservative side. The other point to keep in mind is attitude. Employers need you just as much as you need them. So, they're looking for people to hire who are serious, responsible, and pleasant. One way to show that you have a good attitude is simple. Smile. No one wants to pay good money to a person that frowns. If you look like a good possibility, in most places, [music] the manager will give you an application form to fill out. That's why it's a good idea to bring a couple of pens with you. Any place you apply, you'll be asked about previous jobs, your year in school, sports and activities, [music] and grade point average. Don't be tempted to lie. These forms are sometimes checked out carefully. You'll also need to know your social security number and the names and addresses of personal references. Print the answers neatly. Employers are impressed by neatness. And don't leave any blanks. Also, most jobs require a work permit. Make sure you bring along all the information you [music] need so you can complete the application. The next step is the job interview. It can be the deciding factor in whether or not you get hired. Remember the importance of your appearance and dress on the conservative side. Once you've got the job, then you can dress like the others around you. Be as business-like as possible. Don't smoke or chew gum. If there are certain times when you won't be available to work, say so upfront. It's best to be honest from the beginning. Also, be sure to ask any relevant questions that come to mind. Asking questions shows that you're interested. It's a plus for you. The number one tip is to show up to the interview on time. Present yourself in a professional manner, dress properly, and uh one thing that I look for is a strong handshake. Be prepared for the interview. you know, set up some questions that you might want to ask, you know, about your job, you know, when you'd be working, what kind of hours you'd be getting. >> We we always know that they're going to be nervous. Uh, you know, they don't anticipate the questions we're going to ask. So, there's the nervousness, there's a shyness, but that's something that we can see through. >> We look for someone who has a spark, who's bright and quick, who comes in neat and clean. It shows they have a sense of responsibility. It's normal to be nervous in a job interview, but try to answer questions in more than a word or two. Speak clearly and look at the interviewer, not at the floor. >> I see you're on your school basketball team. >> Yes, I am. I've been on the team for 2 years now. >> Isn't that going to be a conflict with work? >> No. Uh, I don't think so. You see, we're through with practice by 4:30, and you don't need me till 6:00. So, that gives me plenty of time to get here. >> Good. There shouldn't be any problem then, huh? Okay, I'll keep you in mind. >> Keep checking back. If they don't call you, call them. Be persistent, but don't be a pest. [music] Keeping a list of stores, their phone numbers, and who to contact is a good idea. Once you get the job, you want to make sure you'll keep it. The best way to do that is to show your employer that you take your job seriously. Your first day on the job, arrive earlier than you are expected. Make sure your dress and appearance are appropriate for the type of work you'll be doing. Once you're there, your supervisor will show you around and introduce you to your fellow workers. Your boss will also explain the different things you'll be doing. It helps to remember if you repeat back the information in your own words >> the other small bags. I see. Always keep a good supply of differentiz bags, >> right? Then you won't run out when you're real busy. Okay. >> Don't be afraid to ask questions. It's one of the best ways to learn. >> How do you know what size bag to use? >> Always use the smallest bag possible for the size of the order. >> Your employer will appreciate your interest in getting things right. This is especially important when you're new. weighty, you know, put these on. >> When you first start on the job, one of the main things is is to pay attention because you're going into an environment that you don't know anything about and you're going to need to listen to what other people are saying to you. You know, giving suggestions, you know, pointing out what your job will be. >> If you have to ask a question or something like that, you should ask it because it's your responsibility to get things right. >> So many people say, "Well, they've already told me what the answer is and I'll just guess. I don't really remember." But um I don't want to go back and ask the boss again. Well, it causes a lot less trouble if you ask questions. >> Be a selfarter. When you finish one task, look around for something else to do. >> Oh, Mr. Norris. >> Yes, Jen. >> Is there anything else that you'd like me to do? >> Yeah, there are a couple of cases of notebooks that need to go out. You'll find them over there by the register. Managers can tell fairly quickly which employees are really trying and which ones aren't. And >> would you like some French fries with that? >> I guess that sounds good. And uh >> and what would you like to drink? >> Uh give me a medium Coke. >> Okay, that's fine. Thank you. That'll be just a minute. >> Hey, Jenny. How's it going? >> It's been busy here today. We were wondering when you'd get here. >> Uh, sorry. I had car [laughter] trouble. >> How come you never have car trouble after work? >> Yeah. >> I'd like two cheeseburgers, three regular burgers, three fries, and uh >> Yeah. >> And what else? >> Uh, two chocolate shakes, and three cups. >> All right, that's all. It's three cheeseburgers, two regular. >> No, it's two cheeseburgers, three regular burgers. >> Yeah. Right. All right. That's uh two cheeseburgers, three regular, three Cokes, two chocolate malts, and two fries. >> Julia. >> Yeah. >> Heard you uh wanted to see me. >> That's right. Rick, I want to know something. Do you like working here? >> Yeah, sure. Why? >> Well, you don't always act like it. For instance, you've been late twice this week. >> Yeah, I know. It's my car. You know, there's something wrong with the clutch. >> Mhm. Well, you're just going to have to do something about that. We need you here on time. >> And there's something else. I've noticed that you've been a little impatient with the customers and you've mixed up orders. >> Oh, look, that's only happened a couple of times. You know, it's only when I'm rushed. >> No, more than a couple. >> Well, I'm I'm just getting used to things, you know. I just started here, you know. >> Yes, I know. It's up to you. Okay. >> Okay, Julie. >> Most bosses want to give you a chance, but you have to do your part, too. >> If you make a mistake, don't um hassle over it or trouble yourself about it. Just try to improve yourself. >> We're all human beings and we do make mistakes. We allow one or two, but after that, we expect the person to be able to handle the job. When something goes wrong on the job, it can be tempting to try to conceal it or blame it on a customer. >> Janet. >> Oh, yes, Mr. Norris. >> Yeah. Uh, when you're done with that, I've got a new shipment of envelopes I'd like you to put. >> Sure, M. >> Mr. Norris. >> Yes. Well, I I was dusting and uh I kind of broke. >> Well, thanks for telling me. I'm sure it was an accident. And um from now on, you'll know you just have to be more careful when you're dusting the show. >> Gee, thanks, Mr. Norris. >> No problem. >> You have to be dependable to be on work on time, to be dressed neatly, to have your uniform. you know, somebody who shows up late, I'm sure isn't going to get c, you know, called back next summer or or something like that for a full-time job. >> So, it's probably one of the number one priorities is dependability and being here on time. >> Some teenagers just can't seem to get to work on time. Those are the ones we'd never hire back, and I sure wouldn't give them a recommendation. >> When someone that's late all the time, usually throws everything off. Uh, and it it ends up costing you money in the long run. When you're late or don't show, the rest of the staff has to do your work. They get behind and customers complain. Employers don't like that at all. [music] It's a good idea to arrive a little early. That way, you'll be ready to work when your shift starts. Being [music] late makes it harder on your fellow workers. If you use public transportation, give yourself plenty [music] of time to make connections. It's better to arrive a little early than 5 [music] minutes late. If you have a car, be sure to keep it in good running condition. If you depend upon [music] someone else for a ride, make sure they realize how important it is. Otherwise, make other arrangements. If something unavoidable detains you, call in. If you're sick and cannot show up for work, call as soon as you know so your employer can make other plans. And then there are times when your friends may put pressure on you to miss work. >> Hi, Danny. What are you doing here? >> I just came by to tell you a bunch of us decided to go up to the lake tomorrow for the boat races. Do you want to come? >> Sounds great. I can. I'm scheduled to work tomorrow. >> Oh man, you're kidding. Can't you get out of it? Uh, >> sure you can. Just call in sick. >> I don't know >> why not. What's the big deal? >> Calling in sick, if you do it too often, can cost you your job. >> I'll see you later. >> But sometimes you can find other alternatives. >> Jack. >> Yeah, Tony. >> I was wondering if I could get John to fill in for me tomorrow. Can I take the afternoon off and uh perhaps make it up next week? >> Sure, it's okay with me. Uh but you'll have to work it out with John. >> Thanks, Jack. There are times when you can make other arrangements. But if you can't, well, that's one of the hard realities of working. >> You have to make the choice. Do you want to work or do you want to go to parties? If you want to work, then you'll be successful on the job. >> If they do have some very important activity coming up is they would tell us ahead of time so that we can plan to um replace them with someone else uh while they're gone. But to come to you at the very last minute and say, "Oh, I have to run off and do this." That doesn't go over very well. [laughter] >> Hey, Linda. Catch. >> Sometimes you might find yourself fooling around. Just remember that you're there because your employer has a job that needs to be done and you're being paid to do it. And sometimes your friends will drop by while you're working and want to hang out a while. Hi, Danny. >> How you doing? I was just passing by the store and I thought I'd drop in and see what you were up to. Um, >> really busy right now. Can I give you a call after work? >> Sure. Talk to you later. >> And sometimes friends will call you at work. >> Hello, gifts and things. Uh, Linda, it's best not to call me. I'm really busy. Okay, thanks. Bye-bye. >> No one likes to tell their friends they can't talk or hang out. But the truth is, if you're always putting your friends before your job, your job is going to suffer. There are going to be times when your friends will come up to you and ask, you know, give me a hamburger, a Coke. You know, I haven't got any money right now. But you have to realize anything that leaves a store that isn't paid for is theft. But it's your responsibility as the person who works there and to keep your job to not do that and to not give in to your friends and your peer pressure. >> Hi Doc. >> Hi Rick. How's it going? >> Oh, I can't complain. What can I get you? >> Uh I don't know. I'm pretty hungry, but I'm a little short on cash. >> Well, uh how about some fries? They don't cost much. >> Uh no, that's it's not going to do it for me unless uh >> Unless what? Well, unless I order the fries and you slip me a cheeseburger with it. >> I I'll never miss it. >> Todd, I can't. >> I thought we were friends. >> We are friends, but so what's the problem? Everyone does it. >> I can't, Todd. I could lose my job. >> Oh, forget it, friend. Just remember one thing. A real friend would never put you in that position. There are many aspects to having a job. Certainly, it gives you extra money to buy the things you want, but most of all, you'll learn about the real working world and how to get along with people. Just keep these tips in mind. [music] Check in stores and ask everyone you know. [music] Check at your school. Also, when you're new on the job, don't be afraid to ask questions. Employers hope you'll have a good, positive attitude about your job, that you'll give it your best. If you make a mistake, don't try to conceal it. Be dependable about working your shift. Don't call in sick unless you really are. And don't risk losing your job because of your friends. A part-time job can be rewarding in many ways. Not only will you earn money and develop self-confidence, but you'll learn what the working world is all about. Developing and maintaining a good work record will assure you of more rewarding and fulfilling jobs in the future. Just remember, employers need you and want [music] the job to work out for you. And with the right attitude on your part, it will [music] [music] film for me. Um, yes, I was working crappy jobs in the 80s. Uh, I never worked food service, but I did work at a college textbook store at the university game room where all the, uh, arcade uh, games were, the pool tables were. Um, worked for the financial aid office. Um, once I was very poor and we, my roommate and I, we painted uh, little lead miniatures of uh, Civil War uh, figures and for someone who was doing a video documentary about a certain battle and so we were being paid per miniature that we were doing. So we would sit around watching crappy TV painting miniatures. Okay. Um, it's been a while, but uh I'd like to know why uh eat our vegetables. [music] >> [music] >> One day when Miss Blake and her class were trying to answer the question, "Why eat our vegetables?" she decided to read them a story. It was an adventure story about a family. Once there were two children, Bobby and Cynthy Jorgensson. They were children who enjoyed their meals, but they didn't much care for vegetables. Sometime later, on a vacation trip across the ocean, the Jorgensson family escaped from a shipwreck, all the people escaped in lifeboats. After many days at sea, the Jorgensson steered their lifeboat to a deserted island. Here, they would have to live for a while. The family had been lucky enough to save a few of the things they would need. They hadn't much. A few tools and some cans of food, meat, powdered milk, and biscuits. The family believed that they had enough food to last them several months, and they did. Still, as the months passed, the Jorgenssons did not feel well. What was the matter? They had enough food, meat, bread, and milk, but they had no vegetables. And without vegetables, the family did not feel healthy. But luckily, they were rescued. Soon after, the Jorgenssons were given a tasty meal by the ship's captain. There was some meat, and best of all, plenty of vegetables, and the Jorgensson children found that the string beans and corn and tomatoes and lettuce had a wonderful taste. Vegetables. the captain told them would help give the Jorgenssons the vitamins and minerals their bodies needed to grow healthy again. Yes, after many months without vegetables, both Cynthy and Bobby came to know how important vegetables are to good health. After the story was over, Miss Blake asked her class if they could think of vegetables the Jorgenssons didn't have on the desert island. Paul thought of one vegetable, lettuce. Paul knew about this vegetable because he sometimes helps his father in the garden back of their house. Last year, they grew some lettuce from seeds. seeds just like these. A few weeks after the seeds were planted, they had lettuce growing. What we eat are actually the leaves of lettuce plants. Paul and his father grew other vegetable plants in their garden. Vegetables whose leaves are good for us to eat. Cabbage was one. Spinach was another. So Paul thought the family in the story didn't have the leaves of the different vegetable plants we eat. The leaves of such plants as cabbage, spinach, and lettuce. This idea of leaves started Sally thinking. She tried to picture in her mind the many, many vegetables she had seen in that roadside stand she had visited with her mother last summer. Sally remembered that mother had bought vegetables whose leaves are good for us to eat. And mother had bought other vegetables that are good for us to eat. Asparagus was one and rhubarb was another. and potatoes, which are a certain kind of underground stem, were still another. Sally was right. Asparagus and rhubarb are stems of two vegetable plants we eat. Could anyone think of other kinds of vegetables? George thought he could. He told about the time he had visited his cousin's farm. Among the vegetables George had seen there were carrot plants. The part of the carrot plant used for food grows under the ground. It is actually the root of the carrot plant. Other vegetable plants had roots used for food. Beets, for instance, are roots. And so are turnips and parsnips and sweet potatoes. These were just a few of the many root vegetables George could think of. The names of these root vegetables were added to the list. Were there any other vegetables that would have helped the shipwreck family keep well and healthy? Alice thought there were. Most of the vegetables they had named are usually grown from seeds. Beans, for example, are the seeds of bean plants and are also eaten as vegetables. Then certain seed vegetables such as beans and peas and the kernels of sweet corn are all seed vegetables that the family in the story did not have on their desert island. There was certainly quite a list of vegetables. All the vegetables named come from plants. Some from the leaves of plants, some from the stems of plants, some from the roots of plants, and some from the seeds of plants. Miss Blake then read something the school doctor had written to her class. Doctors, he wrote, know that properly cooked vegetables give our bodies certain things that are needed for good health. Vegetables contain vitamins and minerals. Of course, we can't see the vitamins and minerals in vegetables, but we know they are there. As we eat vegetables, their vitamins and minerals help our bodies grow strong and healthy. We help build strong and healthy teeth and gums when we eat raw vegetables. Raw vegetables such as carrots, celery, radishes, and cucumbers have a clean, fresh taste, which most of us enjoy. Because raw vegetables must be chewed well, our teeth and gums get the exercise that helps them stay healthy. When we remember how vegetables help our bodies, we can understand why doctors say that we should eat one serving of potatoes every day, one serving of a vegetable such as tomatoes, and at least one serving of a leafy green vegetable such as lettuce. By eating such vegetables, we get the vitamins and minerals they contain, which help us to have more energy for work and play. They help us to be more energetic and happier in the things we do. Vitamins and minerals also help us to have stronger and better bones. These are some of the ways vitamins and minerals from vegetables help us stay healthy. Yes, vegetables can help us keep healthy. And we are fortunate to have many, many different kinds of vegetables to eat. Among the many vegetables we have, there are sure to be some that each one of us will like. Where do these vegetables come from? Paul knew that most vegetables are grown on farms. After the vegetables are harvested, some are sold within hours at roadside stands or neighborhood markets, country fresh and delicious. Other vegetables are sent in trucks and railroad cars to cities and towns where they're sold in groceries and supermarkets. Still other vegetables are quick frozen or canned so that we may eat them during all seasons of the year. So we may have many different kinds of vegetables every day. vegetables that are good for us because vegetables help keep our bodies strong and healthy. And those are the reasons Miss Blake's class discovered why it is so important that we eat our vegetables. [music] Vegetables. Vegetable and bulls. Veget. Yes. Okay. Uh what do we got? Oh, yeah. All right. So, I haven't shown this one. I showed snippets of it uh for a show that I did uh um a virtual show during COVID uh with the uh the Hunt Library at NC State. But here it is in its entirety. I can't remember what I might have to stop it [laughter] given the subject matter, but I don't remember it being that bad. So, this is hygiene for men. Enjoy. [music] >> [music] >> Dear Bill, I don't exactly know how to begin this. All I know is I sure wish you were still here and not back at that Navy base. I need you, Bill. I need to talk to you. You see, I feel sure I'm in trouble. Know what I mean? I'm 3 weeks late. Something that's never happened before. And I've thrown up the past three mornings. I know mother's suspicious. She hasn't said anything yet, but I know what she's thinking. Oh, Bill, what am I going to do? I don't want to have a baby. [music] Heat. Heat. [music] [music] I thought you told me you loved me. >> I do, Billy. You know I do. >> What's the matter then? >> It's just >> It's just you really don't. Huh? >> Oh, Bill. I do. I really do. >> Then then show me Oh, Bill, what are we going to do? [music] I know you don't want to get married, and I don't really either, I guess. But what else can we do? I can just hear my parents now. >> No, Mary. How could you have done such a thing? >> I'd like to get my hands on that boy. That's what I'd like to do. I' >> Oh, Bill, how could you let this happen to me? Well, you sure screwed things up. What's it doing to you? >> How do you feel about this? Confused and guilty, too. Maybe. >> Yeah. I can't figure out how it happened. I thought those things are supposed to work. >> Maybe you were careless. Besides, no birth control thing is absolutely foolproof. Didn't you know that? >> I didn't. I'm learning. >> Look, man. Why don't you leave him alone? Just had a little bad luck, that's all. >> Bad luck? You call getting a girl pregnant bad luck? >> So, maybe things didn't work out the way we expected. Could have happened to anybody. >> Yes, it could. But it happened to him and it didn't have to happen. >> Yeah. Yeah. I know just what you're going to say. Bill shouldn't play around with girls. Well, he didn't have to carry it this far. He knew when to stop. >> Yeah, sure he did. You're always trying to stop him from having a good time. >> Now that's not true. I only try to stop him from doing things he'll be sorry for later. >> Will you look at him? >> Look, will you two guys just knock it off? All you're doing is make him more confused. >> [music] >> Hey, sorry. Hey, get with it, man. I don't know why you let yourself get so upset. Anybody can make a mistake. >> Yeah, then why do I feel so bad? >> You know why? Because accident or no accident. You're not very proud of what you've done. Deep down, you know that there are values like selfrespect, honesty, decency, the commandments that everyone has to live by that are important to you as an individual and to people you're with. >> Values. That's Sunday school stuff. Come on, Bill. You're living now, and now is when you got to live. If it feels good, do it. Hey, waitress, bring me some more beer. >> Okay, just a minute. >> You still giving advice? Haven't you got him in enough trouble? >> Listen to the man. You don't dig. Bill here. He's just trying to establish his own sense of identity. It's all part of a part of a master plan. He's young. He's healthy. He wants to try things out to live a little. Right, Bill? >> I'll go along with you there. But that doesn't mean hurting yourself or other people. >> I say it's his life. Let him have fun. >> Yeah, but your idea of fun is full of traps and problems. Well, to go along with you, a guy really has to >> God. There's Joe. I told him I had the duty tonight. Look at Bill over there all by himself. I wonder what's gotten into him lately. >> I don't know. He sure isn't his usual cheerful self. Something's sure eating him up. I'd say your idea of fun is cutting in on the kind of fun Bill really needs. Look, if he listened to you, he wouldn't control anything he did. Look at you always with a cigarette. Is that what you want him to do? Even though it's bad for his health and can even shorten his life. It's >> your job to tell him things like that. Mine is to help him have fun. >> Bill, you've already seen how your fun can come back and haunt you. It's like that with all your habits. Take smoking. Remember when you checked into sick bay with a cold? What the doctor say? >> Okay, Bill, you can get dressed. You've got a honey of a chest cold, bronchitis, really. And you're aggravating it by smoking. >> You say you're going through more than two packs a day? >> Yes, sir. I guess so. I've been kind of tense lately. Well, you're going to have to knock off the cigarettes till we get this chest congestion cleared up. Maybe by then you can kick it entirely. Uh, >> maybe, but I doubt it. >> Well, it's your decision. But let me tell you something about what smoking does. Many older people suffering from breathing difficulties, chronic bronchitis, emphyma, lung cancer, and heart disease have smoking to thank for it. Actually, lung cancer occurs 20 times more frequently in cigarette smokers than in non-smokers. >> Okay, now a deep breath. Deep breath. Deep breath. Deep breath. Deep. Deep. Deep. Deep. Deep. Take it in. Take it in. Take it in. Take it in. Now push it out hard. Push. Push. Push. Push. Push. Push. Now, Mr. Wallers, two months later, as you can see, your heart hasn't changed much, nor have the lungs, except for right here in this one spot. There's this big circle with a hole in the center of it. Right in the middle of the left chest. Right about here. Now, it's come very rapidly in only two months. This is what we're worried about and why you're here. I understand you're a smoker. Is that correct? >> Frankly, when you see how many people are sick because of smoking, you'd be a fool not to quit. >> Well, I gave up for a couple of weeks. >> And to help get rid of that cough, how come you started again? >> Why don't you lay off? What he needs is to forget his problems, not be reminded of them. >> You and I ought to do is get good and smashed. >> There you go again. Getting bombed never solved anyone's problems and it won't solve Bill's. >> Okay, Queen Jeans. You don't want any beer, we'll take care of it for you. >> I'm not against Bill having a couple beers. I think it's a good way to relax. But when you start talking about getting drunk, we're right back to what I was saying before, losing control. >> Hey, cut it out. >> Look at that guy over there. >> [laughter] >> Is that how you'd like to see Bill solve his problems? >> So, the guy's a little obnoxious, >> to say the least. >> Yeah, but he's having fun. >> That's your style of fun. >> I don't see anything wrong with getting a little blasted. He's not hurting anybody. >> No one but himself. You know what the shrinks say. Unfortunately, a lot of younger people start drinking because it makes them feel grown up. The fact is, to be grown up, a mature adult, you need to act responsibly. And too much alcohol makes a person act irresponsibly. Of course, many people today use alcohol occasionally, having one or two social drinks with friends. There's really nothing wrong with that. The trouble comes when social drinking changes into drinking as an attempt to escape from the problems of everyday life. >> You can tell when this begins to happen. You begin to drink more frequently. >> You start drinking alone. >> You gulp [music] your drinks. You sneak drinks. You drink early in the day. You begin to lose time on the job. You experience periods of temporary amnesia. You lose control of your behavior. [music] You say things you have previously suppressed. [music] You behave differently. You may [music] finally lose consciousness. When liquor is repeatedly used to this extent, there's little doubt that [music] the individual is sick. He's become an alcoholic. In a similar way, the person who tries to handle the everyday problems of life [music] by using or even experimenting with drugs may soon find that not only has he not solved his problems, but much worse, he's become saddled with the more [music] serious problem of drug addiction. >> [music] >> Getting hooked on drugs is one sure way of lousing up your life, of making each day a hellish nightmare. [music] Cures for drug addiction or for alcoholism [music] aren't easy. Much easier is preventing it using [music] self-control right at the beginning. >> Self-control. That's the way to do it. >> Okay. Okay. Not completely stupid, you know. I might smoke a little and have a beer or two, but that's it. As for drugs, well, forget it. As if I don't have enough of a problem already. No thanks to you. I keep telling you, man. It was an accident. An accident. Why should it happen again? >> You're right. It won't if Bill uses a little self-control with girls. You are so blinded by a liberal philosophy of life. You don't see how the things a person does today affects what he'll be tomorrow. Things that can affect his whole future. His education, a good job, even a marriage. >> Live now. Tomorrow will take care of itself. That's my motto. >> Sure, that sounds fine. But it's how you live that counts. A person has to live with himself first. If Bill isn't satisfied with what he is or what he does, then what is he really living for? >> Nothing but fun, brother. Got it? Fun. That's what he has to live for. >> No wonder I'm so screwed up having to listen to you two guys fighting all the time. I'm going to go talk to someone who can help straighten things out for me. It's no wonder you're confused, Bill. It's a confusing world we live in. Day and night, we're bombarded with reminders of sex, liquor, smoking, even drugs. It all gets pretty unreal. Heat. Heat. N. Heat. Heat. N. [music] Heat. Heat. N. [music] Heat. Heat. N. Heat. Heat. N. >> [music] >> You know, Bill, it's easy for young people to get lost in this jungle that surrounds all of us. But Bill, you have to recognize that it's all a big cell. Life isn't like that. And deep inside, son, you know it. Now, look, it's quite normal to question how you want to respond to all this and what kind of life you want for yourself. All young men do. >> Yeah. But most of them haven't gotten themselves in a bind like I have. >> No, but they could. They have the same things working inside of them just as strong as those inside of you. Only most of them have learned to control it better than you have. Believe it or not, Chaplain, this was the first time I ever had a girl. >> Well, it only takes once. >> But it just doesn't seem fair. I mean, everyone else is messing around. >> Everyone out having a great big orgy. >> Yeah. Let's listen to the guys in the barracks talk. >> Big mouths are the last ones to believe. >> Yeah. But all I know is when I go and try and find out what it's like, well, look what happens. The first time, can you beat that? >> So, have you learned anything? >> Yeah. But I I didn't want to get married pregnant, but what's a guy supposed to do for sex? Well, if he doesn't get it with a girl he likes, either he goes out and looks for a pickup or a prostitute or does something like like masturbate. >> Yeah. Well, that's not the answer. You know it. Masturbation can't hurt you physically or make you insane or anything like that. It's just not what I'd call a completely satisfactory sexual experience. >> But what's a guy supposed to do? Look, >> there's no one answer. There's no one style of behavior that'll suit everyone. But before you decide, get all the facts. >> Right now, you're in the prime of your life. You're seeking independence from your parents. You're physically and sexually mature, but you're not ready for marriage. You have your Navy service to [music] think of, and perhaps more education later on, a career to plan for. At the same time, there are always sexual and other influences that need to be controlled. There are lots of things to help you control them. You can pitch in and do especially good work in your job. You [music] can take part in sports and other physical activities. You can develop whatever creative talents or interests you might have. And you can enjoy girls without going all the way. Now, will it be activities like these that help build your selfrespect, or will it be ones that tend [music] to degrade you? The decision is yours? You can let yourself drink too much or ruin your lungs or get yourself hooked on drugs or let your natural feelings about sex develop unnaturally or be turned to women who will give you satisfaction for a price. You can do all those things if you're willing to pay the price [music] of possible damage to your health or to your own selfrespect. Here's where a physical danger enters the picture. VD [bell] [ __ ] and pickups are easy to come by and can just as easily [music] infect you and leave you with a different set of problems unless thoroughly treated. VD can cause serious damage to your body. It can make a simple act like urinating an excruciating [music] experience and unless completely controlled can eventually lead to sterility or even crippling, blindness, heart disease, insanity and you can pass it on to another girl, the girl you marry for instance, [music] and give her the same problem but worse because it's harder [music] to find and cure. You and the doctor sure make a good case for playing it cool. Chaplain, >> there's an even stronger case, Bill. And you've made it yourself with Mary. >> Yeah, but I don't like to think about it. >> Well, you're going to have to think about it. It's bad enough that your own future is at stake. But look what you've done to her life. Can you imagine what she must be going through? >> But mother, I'm sure Bill will marry me if I ask him to. Oh, that's all we need is someone like that for a son-in-law. >> Is marriage what you really want, Mary? What about your plans to finish school? >> The only thing is I'm not sure if he really loves me. >> Loves you? How could he love you? Only had three dates with you. Three dates? Oh, brother. >> Love really takes getting to know one another. Honey, >> you can say that again. >> And you and Bill just haven't had that chance. It may come in time, but marriage is no place to experiment. >> Don't you know that that half the teenage marriages end up in divorce? And you want to know why? Because you kids get out there and start fooling around and and you end up having to get married. And it's wrong from the start. I don't know what's gotten into these kids today. I wish I could. >> You have to decide, honey. Your father and I can only help you with it. >> What do you want me to do? Well, I don't see how you can have it here. >> Your father has a point, Mary. And don't you think it would be less embarrassing for you? I've asked around and I found a place that that can help us. We'll take you there just as soon as the baby starts to show, and you can stay there until it's born. >> I don't want to go to a home for unwed mothers. >> But honey, they take care of everything. They even say that the baby's put up for adoption, and you never even have to see it if you don't want to. >> Oh, mother, I'm so ashamed. [crying] >> It's usually very lonely for the girls in a home like this, Bill. Awfully lonely. >> Your name is Wendy? Where are you from? >> From a little town about 100 miles from here. >> When do you expect your baby? >> In about 3 months. >> Does anybody know? >> Nobody knows. >> Not even the baby's father. >> Why haven't you told him? I I try, but I I just can't. >> Do you care for him? Does he care for you? >> Then why are you afraid to tell him? >> Well, I don't want to make him have to marry me because now I got pregnant. I just didn't know who to turn to. [snorts] >> Well, maybe we can help you. Let me tell you about this place. This is a home. >> They do everything to help the [music] girls adjust to their predicament, to restore their selfrespect, to keep them busy learning new skills, [music] acquiring new interests, gaining new insights of themselves. But it's not like home. It's not like living with a husband you love, sharing the joy of the new life developing inside you. In place of love, there's regret. In place of hope, heartache. But if you want to know about real loneliness and [snorts] heartache and despair, [music] Bill, you have to see the children who have been brought into this world illegitimately. Children hungry for love and attention, living daily with a longing that someone from somewhere [music] will love them and take them from here into a home with love in it. Can you picture your child here? Good lord. >> You can marry her. >> I don't want to get married, Chaplain. Well, I'm not ready to get married. And if I don't, and Mary decides to keep the baby, can they make me support both her and the baby? >> Oh, yes. At least the child until it's 21. >> Oh, boy. Whichever way I turn, it'll sure mess up my plans for more schooling. You know, Chaplain, I kind of like Mary. With a little more time, I might have gotten serious. >> I know. What you did when you dated her was pretty serious. >> But she was wearing this bikini, and I just couldn't help myself. Bill, every act that you perform, everything that you do accumulates one upon another to make you what you are, to make you what you will be. Now, you can choose between actions that you're proud of and ones that you're not. And the same holds true with dating. Now, self-control is just as important in dating as it is with everything else. It's even more important because somebody else's life is involved. Of course, when you date, you should never forget that as a male, you have a basically aggressive instinct. You're built to pursue the female. And the question is, how far do you go? Should you let go of the animal urge for conquest, to go all the way? Or do you recognize that you have to control things before they get to the point where [music] they can't be stopped? And there is that point. You have to realize too that girls also have sex drives. A girl may want to be attracted to you, but she may not realize how much the way she dresses and behaves excites you sexually. She's not as easily aroused. And she usually doesn't think of sex in terms of a one night stand. She thinks in terms of a longer relationship [music] with tenderness, affection, and love. If you feed her emotional needs without any serious intent, you can take advantage of her. But you can't do it without feeling a sense of guilt because you've deceived her. Really, dating is an important and a very natural relationship between unmarried men and women. Basic to the human biological urge to look for a mate. It's the best way to meet different kinds of girls and to evaluate them as possible mates and let them evaluate you. Now, dating different girls is just the first step. Later on, you court one girl, then marriage and children and raising them in a family environment. This is the road that can lead you to an emotional and physical relationship that can endure for years and years. It's what most men strive for. But it can all be shattered in one single action, in one single moment. I thought you told me you love me. I do, Bill. You know I do. >> What's the matter then? >> It's just you really don't. Huh? Bill, I do. I really do. Then then show me [music] nice.
