Hello. Welcome to America.

Hi. Welcome
to the United States.

Welcome to the United States
of America.

Welcome to California and our

home, and I hope
you have a ball.

[clears throat] No?

Well, it's a nice
thought, but don't

you think it's a
little elaborate?

Gunnar Malstrom
has been in business

in San Francisco
for nearly two years.

Okay, but, basically,
he's from abroad,

and Inge's never
been here before, so I--

All right. Have it your own way.
[doorbell rings]

Oh, my gosh.

Gunnar. Good to see you.
Come in.

My daughter Frances.
Gidge, Gunnar Malstrom.

Hi. Welcome
to the United States.

I only come down
from San Francisco.

But I thank you.

Oh, you're welcome.
I mean, uh-- You're welcome!

[clears throat] Where's Inge?

Inge.

Oh.

Inge, Professor.
Miss Lawrence.

Inge.
I am honored.

And? Gidget. Hi.
Nice to meet you.

Is this all you brought
for a whole year at college?

Inge has simple tastes.

Good to have you here, Inge.
How is your father?

Professor Lindner
is in excellent health.

And he wishes to thank you
for your hospitality to Inge.

- I also thank you.
- Ah, we're delighted.

I'm only sorry it's to be
for such a short time.

You are kind.
Inge shall be no trouble.

I have provided her
with a schedule of studies:

English, basic
economics, international

law, United States history.

What'll she do
for the rest of the week?

It sounds severe, perhaps,
but Inge is in America to work.

Well, she doesn't have
to start right now.

Come on in. Have
some coffee. Oh, as am I.

So, now back
to San Francisco.

The import-export business
is very demanding.

But I shall return in a week
when Inge enters the university.

You have the schedule
and reading list? Ja, Gunnar.

Remember, emphasize
economics and international law.

These are basic.
Ja, Gunnar.

Good. Inge and I are not
yet formally engaged,

but we plan
for the future.

I regard these studies as

necessary for my
wife. Yes, Gunnar.

Until next week then.
Professor. Miss Lawrence.

toodles.
Gunnar.

Is not Gunnar
admirably efficient?

Admirably. The guest room's
upstairs on the left, Inge.

If you'd care to freshen up,
we'll have something to eat.

Oh. Well, if you don't mind, I

think I begin my
studies at once.

Of course.

Oh, here, let me
help you. Oh, no, no.

Gunnar says I must be
no trouble at all.

But I want to thank you
very much.

I'm-- I'm very happy
to be here.

Upstair-- On the left.

I bet you I know what Gunnar
exports and imports.

Yeah? What?
Slaves.

No. Absolutely

Are they too heavy? They aren't too heavy.
[chuckles]

I consider that innuendo low,
sneaky... and all too accurate.

I'll try to walk it off.

Inge, would you take it easy
today? Enough is enough.

Well, Gunnar says
I must do my part.

Oh, sure.
Big Gunnar is watching you.

Gidget, in this house
I deliver the lectures.

Just see that Inge
enjoys herself, or else.

Oh, I am enjoying myself.

And when I get
finished cleaning,

I will begin my studies.

Gidget can explain to me about

United States
history. Good idea.

Just remember, Gidge, American

history does not
include the Crusades.

Oh, sure, Daddy. Um, I'll
start with Abraham Lincoln.

He freed the slaves.
Gidget.

Your papa is a
lovely man. It's a fact.

My papa's lovely, too,
but he's very strict.

"Inge. To be a woman
is to be useful--

To cook, to clean,
to be a help."

Yeah. "Help" is the word.

Pardon.

I mean, don't you
ever wanna have fun--

Go out with boys,
go dancing, go surfing?

Sometimes, but...
that's all decided.

Well, fight back. U.S. history
starts with a revolution.

No taxation
without representation.

If this is gonna be a day
for speeches, I'm gonna split.

Fine. But before you go, say
hi to a visitor from Sweden.

Inge, Mark Manning.
Mark, Inge Lindner.

She's staying with us until the
dorms at UCLA open next week.

Hi, Inge.
It's a plea-- Oh!

I'm so sorry.
Excuse me. It's okay.

[chuckles] She's a little shy.

Yeah. Clean though.
I like a clean girl.

Which reminds me,
the surf's up.

- That's an invitation.
- Accepted. I'll go tell Inge.

Why not? It's a
big ocean. I guess

there's always room
for one more guppy.

Move like the wild wind.
I'll be back in half an hour.

Gidget, it's only that
I cannot.

But, Inge, it will be fun. And
I'll loan you one of my suits.

Oh, thank you.
I have my own.

But I have also
to finish this studying.

I'll read here
in the sunshine.

Inge, tell me truthfully.
Are you shy with boys?

Well, ja,
a little.

I have known Gunnar
almost all of my life.

Well, otherwise--
My father's very strict.

But you've nothing
to be shy about.

As a matter of fact--
what with this and that--

You make me feel kinda shy.

You? Oh, no, Gidget.

You are...
a constant surprise to me.

You are so self-assured, like
with that boy in the kitchen.

Mark? Oh,
he's shaping up nicely.

I used to be shy, too,
but I outgrew it.

When?
On my 11th birthday.

I said to myself,
"Gidget, you're going

to be a woman
eventually. Why not now?"

And then I went
out and found a boy

I had a fight with that morning.

I told him
how strong he was.

He just about
passed out.

And then he gave me
his pet worm.

And from that day on,
I never looked back--

Except to make sure
that somebody was following.

But somebody is already
following me-- Gunnar,

who expects I will be finished
with this schedule.

So, no swimming.
[sighs]

Doesn't Gunnar even
approve of exercise? Oh, ja.

So, swimming and volley ball
and surfing--

What do you call them?
Fun.

Oh, waste. But he does
approve of...

"calisthetics"?

Ja. What you call a, uh,
Swedish jerk.

[Gidget narrating] Swedish jerks.

I couldn't have
said it better myself.

My work was cut out for me.

Instead of knee bends
to Gunnar,

what Inge needed, but fastest,
was exercise in swinging.

Being a seasoned
practitioner of the

"never take no for an
answer" philosophy,

I overwhelmed Inge's reluctance
with simple scientific logic.

Everyone knows that reading
light is best at sea level.

Oh. Now, you must let me
carry my things.

No, no. Uh-uh.
Oh, but I insist.

- Inge. [whistles]
- What?

- Oh.
- Inge, no.

No?
No.

Well, I can carry my
own books. I am healthy.

Oh, they've
noticed that.

Inge, in America,
everybody is equal.

But frankly,
just to survive,

a girl's gotta be equal
to at least three boys.

Three boys?
Let's start with basics.

You hungry?
Oh, ja.

Okay. I'm a boy.
Mm.

[clears throat] Ask me
about getting something to eat.

Could you please tell me where
I could find something to eat?

Oh, but I brought no money.

No. Look.

Just do this, exactly,
and say--

[yawns] I'm starved.

Okay?
Ah.

Okay.

Oh. I'm starving.

[Gidget narrating] And that was when

Inge began to learn
the difference...

between being a girl
and being a woman.

Oh.

As a matter of fact,
she learned awfully fast.

As a matter of fact,
almost too fast.

As the saying goes--
hands across the sea...

and into my wardrobe.

It's beautiful.
I only hope it will fit.

♪ [rock Gidget narrating]
It fit. Oh, boy, did it fit.

As a matter of fact, I sort
of wished it fit me like that.

You know, Gidget, I think I

learned something
about myself...

and something about Gunnar.

What?

[phone rings]

Who could it be
at this hour?

Hello?

Inge? I'll see.

It's for you. It's
Ben. What is it?

He didn't say, but
judging from the

drooling sounds,
he wants a date.

What do I say?
I don't know.

The important thing
is to keep 'im off-balance.

If you don't wanna say yes,
say maybe. But never say no.

And tell him you'll meet him
on the beach tomorrow... maybe.

Hello? Ben?

Ja? Well, uh, perhaps I see you
on the beach tomorrow... maybe.

Well, perhaps today.

Yes, Terry.

Yes, of course.
It will be fun.

Well,
of course I'm sure.

Ja. Tonight. It will be
delightful, Mark.

Mark?

[Gidget narrating] Mark-- as in my boyfriend.

So to speak.

All this for a picnic?
We gotta make

sure we have
enough for everybody.

For Arthur and Ben
and Stanley and Terry.

And don't forget
good old Mark.

Inge, I'd like to talk to you,
woman-to-woman. Mm?

I've been noticing,
the last couple of days,

you haven't gotten much
studying done. None.

Gunnar will be mad.
Absolutely. He will "flap."

"Flip"?
Flip.

He's not the only one.

As a matter of fact, I've been
noticing you and Mark lately.

Well, in honest truth, Gidget,
I do not know what I must do.

Mark is very attractive,
but, truly, he is yours.

[sighs] Well, I don't
have a lock on him.

Mm. He is attentive
and polite.

But I do not know what I must do
if he throws himself toward me.

Wh-- Oh, Gidget,
you are so generous.

I am?
Ja. And so understanding.

Will you watch this for a
minute? Where you going?

I'm going to change.
Change?

Hi, Gidge.

Uh, "Hi, Gidge" what?

Where's everybody else?
Uh, waiting out front.

Dressed like that?
Well, not exactly.

Why do I have
the feeling there's

something about this
picnic I don't know?

Actually, Gidget, it will
be a very nice picnic.

But you will be surprised
to know that I have

never been to an
American amusement park.

Surprised?
I'm flabbergasted.

But I'm beginning to get
the point of the message.

So, you will go on
to the picnic with the others,

and Mark will do
this nice thing for me.

He's such a gentleman.

Like you said, Gidge, she
is a visitor from Sweden.

You know, we do want
to make her feel at home.

Right?
Have fun.

[Gidget narrating] "Welcome to America."

Some dope probably said that
to the Japanese beetle.

[Gidget narrating] The articles

of the Geneva Convention...

suggest arbitration
to avoid hostilities.

And I was feeling
pretty hostile.

Inge was invading
my territory,

using weapons supplied my me.

It was definitely time to seek

mature advice,
counsel and... help.

Gidge, you're exaggerating.

But leave it to me. I'll
have a little talk with Inge.

It is so nice of you
to speak with me...

when I know you are busy
with many important things.

Well--
[chuckles]

Oh, no.
Please, let me.

You know,
it is so surprising.

You are such an important
man-- a professor--

And still so very...
young, and yet--

Oh, how do you say?
A-- A swinger.

[coughs] Yes, well--

Well, I, uh-- I hear
you're enjoying yourself.

Oh, yes. Everyone has been
absolutely wonderful.

And Gidget is a darling.

She even lets her
boyfriend take me out.

She is a true friend.

Her boyfriend, Mark Manning? Ja.

Mark is very sweet.
Perhaps a little young.

I wish he were
a little bit more mature.

I have a weakness
for mature men.

But, again,
I must not keep you.

I thank you, Professor.
[mouthing words]

Uh-huh.
Don't tell me.

She just floated by on a cloud
of Powers of Persuasion No. 9.

[chuckling] Who could have imagined?

[scoffs] She's probably
just having a fling.

It won't last long,
I hope.

It doesn't have to.

An atom bomb blows up
in one-millionth of a second.

I figure old Gunnar
will break that record.

He's coming back tomorrow.
I'd forgotten.

Poor Gunnar...
and poor Inge.

Hey. If anybody needs an
antipoverty program, it's me.

"Poor Inge."
[exclaims]

Well, Herr Doktor,

you're the one
who instigated this

noble experiment
in emancipation.

And it just backfired.

I am afraid that the new Inge is

on a collision
course with Gunnar.

I can sympathize
with your problem.

But remember,
Gunnar left a quiet,

studious girl here last week.

Now-- You're about
to say something?

No. I--

I mean, do I have
an idea.

Gidget?
Oh, nothing violent.

Just a nice,
quiet evening at home...

with Gunnar and Inge
and Mark and me.

Why, Mr. Malstrom.
Right on time.

I believe in punctuality,
Miss Lawrence.

Where is Inge? She's upstairs
getting all dressed up for you.

You know, she's told me
so much about you.

I feel as if
I really know you, Gunnar.

Really? She has?

Oh, yes. And I think it's just

wonderful the way
you came to America.

And your business.

I didn't know
Inge was interested.

Well, actually,
I'm the one who's interested.

Business
is such a man's world.

I don't understand it, but I
think your work is fascinating.

Why, I thank you.

And I'd just love
to hear all about it.

Vad ar det, Inge?

- Do you like it, Gunnar?
- No. What is this?

It's just me having fun.

Fun?

[doorbell rings]

Oh, hi, Mark. Come on in. Hi.

Uh, Mark, I'd like you
to meet Gunnar Malstrom.

Gunnar, Mark Manning.
I'm glad to meet you.

You two should have
a lot in common.

Mark is going to study
business administration.

Oh, please, let's not
talk about business.

Such a boring thing
to talk about.

Oh, I think
it's fascinating.

Besides, what's
more important than

a man's lifework?
Yeah. That's right.

Why don't you all get
acquainted? I'll get dinner.

It was a delicious meal.

Yeah, Gidge. I
didn't know you knew.

Well, I think a woman should
really know how to be a woman.

But anyway, tell me more about

the international
trade festival.

- You are really interested?
- Oh, yes.

International trade
is the businessman's

approach to international unity,

and its strengths derive
from its basic economic vector.

- Right?
- Right.

You know, we discussed that
in the course last week.

Cannot we talk about
something else?

Business bores me so.

Inge, it is my future--
our future.

I am interested in
what is happening

right now, which is not much.

Why don't we go
somewhere?

Oh, no. Let's just
stay home.

Dad won't be back
till after the meeting.

Let's play some records
and dance or something. Fine.

Gunnar, I have learned
how to do all the new dances.

♪ [orchestra: slow]
What is that?

Well, I thought we
could try something

different, something quieter.

- A waltz?
- Why not?

- Gunnar, do you mind?
- Not at all.

♪ [stops]
I hate waltzes.

Oh. Well, let's make a deal.

You play a record.
Then I'll pick

one. We'll sort of take turns.

♪ [rock] Gunnar,
will you dance with me?

To that?

Uh, go on, Mark.
Mark's a fantastic dancer.

Um, I'll just
clear the things.

I can manage by myself.

Mm! That's okay, Inge.
Don't move a muscle.

I can manage.
You dance.

[sighs]

♪ [continues]

♪ [stops] That
was good. Crazy.

♪ [waltz]

A waltz?
Oh, I--

May I cut in?

Will you dance with me, Inge?
No. I do not like this music.

Oh, I'm sorry. Well, I've got
some dishes to do anyway.

You all enjoy yourselves.

[Mark]... Come on!
[Gunnar] Oh! Gidget!

[shouting, laughing
Gidget] How do you like that?

[laughing] Stop that soap!

You want to help,
Inge?

No. I want
to talk to you.

As soon as we finish. Just wait.

Wait? I am not something
that you own--

To wait for you humbly
until you have time for me.

She's right, Gunnar.
Go ahead. I can finish.

Absolutely not.

You stay out of this,
Gidget. I'm sorry.

Inge, apologize.

To her? I shall not.

That's okay. I understand.
You do not understand.

I will apologize to her if I
want to, but I do not want to.

Mark, I would like
to go out now.

[scoffs] You go right ahead, Inge.

What?
Inge.

You are acting
like child.

I apologize for Inge.

[loud crash]
[shouts]

Please.

Let me talk to her.
Alone.

Inge.

I wish to say one thing only.
I am ashamed of you.

[crying] And I have one thing
to say to you, Gunnar Malstrom.

I will not marry you.

Inge. When I first saw you,
you were...

the most beautiful thing
on earth... to me.

- But you were a child.
- Just like Papa.

"Inge. Study, work, learn."
[sniffles]

Well, I want to have
a little fun.

Of course.
But is that all?

Inge, I want a woman
for a wife,

not a child
who wants only to have fun.

Look at Gidget.

She's quiet, pleasant,
thoughtful.

- And I am not?
- Exactly.

You are not.

You are a spoiled
child. No more. Gunnar!

[spanking]
[crying, screaming] Gunnar!

Relax. It's therapy time.

Now you will be reasonable? No!

Ow! Gunnar!

All right.
Now we will talk.

Ja, Gunnar.
[sniffling]

And you will listen...
quietly.

Ja, Gunnar.

I think we'd better
leave for a while.

Yes, Mark.
Yeah.

Look at that.

No pride.

What, Inge?

Well, I think she's right,
and I like it.

You somethin', Gidge? The other

night, I sort of
saw you differently.

You were quieter, you know?
More feminine.

And I liked that too.
Oh, yeah?

I mean, you used to
come on full of plans--

The "take charge" girl--
but no more.

I mean, a guy likes to feel
that he's out with a girl,

not-- not a platoon sergeant.

Whatever you say, Mark.
Yeah.

A man has to be boss.

[grunting] Yeah. You're right.

You're the boss, mark.

[Gidget narrating] And that
was when I realized

I'd set back women's
rights a hundred years--

Exactly where they belonged.
