It's A Wonderful LifeNICK: That does it! That's enough! You two are a couple of crazy people? Go on , leave, do you hear me? Get out of here! GEORGE: Where's Martini? Will you call him--? NICK: Stop asking about Martini! He isn't here and he-- [A man enters the bar - Nick looks at him and starts shouting] Hey, you! You! Didn't I tell you never to come around here?! CLARENCE: Oh, George, look! Act 3 - Part 2 GEORGE: It's Mr. Gower! Mr. Gower! Listen, Mr. Gower, don't you know me? This is George Bailey! GOWER: (drunk) You - you buy me a drink, mister? Just one drink, will you, mister?
NICK: Pinky? PINKY: Yeah, Nick? NICK: Throw the drunk out! GOWER: Oh, no, no, please-- GEORGE: Hey, bartender, that's - that's Mr. Gower, the druggist! NICK: That drunk spent twenty years in jail for poisoning some kid. If you know him, you must be a jailbird yourself. (yells) Pinky! Here's two more! Get them out of here! CLARENCE: Well, get up, George. It's a good thing he threw us in this snow, eh?
GEORGE: Where's - where's Mr. Gower? CLARENCE: Mr. Gower doesn't know you, George. You see, you weren't there to stop him from putting poison into that prescription. GEORGE: What do you mean, I wasn't there? Look, now, tell me, what are you? CLARENCE: George... GEORGE: Look, why am I seeing all these strange things here? CLARENCE: Don't you understand? It's because you were not born. GEORGE: Well, if I wasn't born, then who am I? CLARENCE: Nobody. You have no identity. GEORGE: What do you mean, I have no identity? CLARENCE: No papers, no driver's license, no social security card, no insurance policy. Nothing. GEORGE: Zuzu's bell! CLARENCE: What? GEORGE: Zuzu's bell. I bought my little girl a bell to hang on the Christmas tree and I forgot to give it to her. I've got it in -- (searches for it) It's gone. It's gone, too. Everything's gone. CLARENCE: But you've been given a great gift, George. A chance to see what the world would be like if you'd never been born. GEORGE: You're crazy. You're crazy and you're driving me crazy, too! Now, look, I'm going home to my wife and family, do you understand that? And I'm going home alone!
JOSEPH: You shouldn't leave him alone, Clarence. Keep following him. CLARENCE: Joseph! Oh, I'll stay near him, sir. Poor George, he's seeing Main Street now, the way it would be if he hadn't lived.

A pawnshop. JOSEPH: What's he doing? Can you see? CLARENCE: He's talking to Ernie Bishop, the taxi driver. He wants to go home. JOSEPH: You'd better go along, Clarence. CLARENCE: Oh, I will, sir. I will. [SOUND: MOTOR RUNNING] GEORGE: Come on , hurry up, will you, Ernie? Get me home. Okay? ERNIE: Where do you live, sir? GEORGE: Aw, now, Ernie, don't you start talking like that with me. The address is three-twenty-three Sycamore! ERNIE: Three-twenty-three Sycamore? GEORGE: Yeah, hurry up. Zuzu's sick. ERNIE: Okay, sir.
GEORGE: Hey, look, Ernie, I - I don't know what's happening. I'm going crazy or something. I've got some bad liquor. I-- Now, look, tell me this now. You're Ernie Bishop, right? And you live with your wife and kid down in -- ERNIE: (sharply) Have you seen my wife? GEORGE: What do you mean? Seen your wife? I've been in your house a hundred times! We built it for you, didn't we? ERNIE: Listen! First, my wife took the kid and ran away five years ago and, second, I haven't ever seen you before in my life, okay? GEORGE: Okay, Ernie, okay. Okay. Just step on it. Take me home. GEORGE: Mary! Mary, where are you?! Janie! Petey! Zuzu! Zuzu! Where are you? CLARENCE: This is just an old abandoned house, George. You have no wife. No children.
GEORGE: Where are they? What have you done with them? ERNIE THE TAXI DRIVER: (To Bert the cop ) There you are, Bert. That's him, see? I told you! BERT: All right, put your hands up! GEORGE: Oh, Bert! Bert the cop, thank goodness you're here! BERT: Now, look, why don't you be a good man and I'll take you to a doctor? GEORGE: Bert. Now, Bert, listen to me. What's the matter with you guys? Now listen, it's that fellow there. He says he's an angel. He tried to make me see things! BERT: I hate to use my nightstick, but I guess I-- Oww! CLARENCE: Run, George, run! He can't hit you while I'm biting him!
BERT: Owwww! CLARENCE: George, run! My teeth aren't what they used to be! Joseph, help! Joseph! Joseph! BERT: Where did they go, Ernie? Where'd they go? ERNIE: I - I don't know! They just disappeared! JOSEPH: Clarence?! CLARENCE: Oh, Joseph, I hope you don't mind my calling on you like I did. JOSEPH: You're by yourself again. Where's George? CLARENCE: He's at his mother's house, sir. JOSEPH: Well, if George hasn't been born, he has no mother.
CLARENCE: Oh, he's being very stubborn, sir. He'll just have to find these things out for himself. JOSEPH: But his mother! That's a terrible thing-- His own mother not knowing him. CLARENCE: You mean I shouldn't have let him--? JOSEPH: I mean, you'd better find him right away. Oh, and stop biting policemen, Clarence! CLARENCE: I'm here again, George. GEORGE: My mother -- my own mother didn't know me! If only Harry were here, if my brother were only back from Washington. CLARENCE: Your brother fell through the ice and was drowned at the age of nine. GEORGE: That's a lie! He was a hero! He saved the lives of every man on that transport ship! CLARENCE: Every man on that ship died. Strange, isn't it? Each man's life touches so many other lives. Harry wasn't there to save them because you weren't there to save Harry. Don't you see, George? You really had a wonderful life. Don't you see what a mistake it would be to throw it away? GEORGE: Clarence... CLARENCE: Yes? GEORGE: Where's Mary? Please, where's my wife?
CLARENCE: I, uh, I'm not supposed to tell. GEORGE: Tell me where she is. CLARENCE: You're not going to like it, George. GEORGE: Where is she? You have to tell me! Where's my wife? CLARENCE: The library. She works there. She's just about to lock up for the night. So, I, uh-- George! George! Come back! (sadly, to himself) Oh, there must be some easier way for me to get my wings. [SOUND: STREET SOUNDS] GEORGE: Mary! Mary! MARY: I'm sorry, the library's closed.
MARY: I don't know you. Let me go! GEORGE: Mary, please! Oh, don't do this to me! Please, Mary! Help me! Where're our kids? I need you, Mary!
MARY: (screams) Watch a video clip from
