listening and comprehension
I can't understand a word of what Henry's mother is saying before she says: He's always doing it!
And just before she says: like a bull in a china shop.
So, she says:............................................He's always doing it.
And she says..........................................like a bull in a china shop.
Please, help me on this because I don't have a clue of what she's saying.
Thanks a lot!

If I hadn't cried out just then, he'd have charged right into me
Henry, I want you to talk to that boy.
If I hadn't cried out just then, he'd have charged right into me.
He's always doing it. Charging up and down the stairs like a bull in a china shop.
That is what I think I hear.
Try playing the video back at a slightly slwoer speed.

I can't understand the first thing she says either, but I will keep trying!

There is something else between "I want you to talk to that boy" and "charged right into me. He's always doing it!" that I can't quite get. Perhaps another helper will wander by...

if I can find out just why he needs to charge right into me. Charging up and down...
Pretty sure this is what she says (though yes, middle bit is difficult)
Henry, I want you to talk to that boy
if I can find out just why he needs to charge right into me;
he's always doing it! Charging up and down the stairs, like a bull in a china shop

: I don't think it is "if I can find out just why he needs to charge right into me", but I can't make out what she is saying there. Agree with the rest.

yes, this bit rather indistinct. I listened at least 20 times and heard different things but I'm pretty sure this is close

I'm having a hard time to extract all the lines of this film. I live in Brazil and I'll have to translate all the lines into Portuguese, because it doesn't exist any subtitle for this film. This film was released in 1957 without any subtitle nor Closed Captions. But I'd like to thank you very much for your help!
