Who can turn the world on with her
smile?

Who can take a nothing day and suddenly
make it all seem worthwhile?

Well, it's you, girl, and you should
know it.

With each glance and every little
movement you show it. Love is all I

to waste it. You can never tell, why
don't you take it?

You're gonna make it after all

You're gonna make it after

all

minutes ago when I emptied an ashtray.

Very. Guess what? What?

My father's in town.

Yeah, no kidding. That's terrific.

What's he doing here?

He came with my mother.

Yeah, when did I get to meet him? As a
matter of fact, they're here right now.

Here? Uh, where here?

Right outside that very door.

What? And up those stairs in my
apartment.

Gotcha.

go upstairs and meet your family dressed
in this crummy outfit? What do they

think? They probably think you borrowed
it from me.

Martin, I'm getting tired of standing.

Ida, I got an idea.

What? Sit.

Where? Here.

How about this? Isn't that lovely?

Oh, no, that looks too uncomfortable.

What, is it more uncomfortable than
standing?

Why don't you try the bed?

Oh, no, I don't want to sit on that
spread. It might shed all over my suit.

Here's a nice bean bag. Why don't you
try that?

Morgenstern. I feel I know you.

I'm glad. Otherwise, I'd never let you
take advantage of me like this.

Well, how was the trip? You have a
pleasant flight?

Yeah, we had a pleasant flight, except
for some wife of the party guy who kept

playing chopsticks on the lounge piano.

Oh, do you hate that?

It was me.

Oh, everybody loves Martin's sense of
humor.

Martin, don't you think you ought to go
find us a place to stay?

Hey, wait. I thought you wanted to stay
here.

Rhoda, when you told us you had an
apartment, I don't know why, but I

an apartment.

Look, maybe there's a nice motel around
here someplace.

Gee, Pop, I don't know of any. Thank
goodness.

Uh, Mr.

Morgenstern, there is a very nice one on
the corner of Oakhurst and Burnside.

My parents stayed there once.

Good, I'll see if there are any
vacancies, and later I'll come back for

luggage. And for me.

And for you.

Rhoda, you know something? In New York
City, you'd have to keep these beads

locked up at night.

We're sure he would be.

Yes, he is, isn't he? Oh, Mrs.

Morgenstern, I think your husband is
just terrific.

I know.

Hey, I just thought of something.

Wouldn't it look kind of funny to drive
up to a motel without a car?

Rhoda, honey, could I borrow yours?

Well, it's in the body shop.

I sort of keep it in there and just take
it out for accidents.

Mrs. Morgenstern, you can borrow my car
if you want. Oh, Mary, that's all right.

Please, I don't even need it.

Well, golly, that's terrific.

Ida, did you hear that?

You won't have to rent one for the whole
week we're here.

Gotcha!

Now we see where you got your gotchas.

I'll get you the keys.

Go on, Pop.

Rhoda. Yeah, Ma? I have to tell you,
your father and I coming to Minneapolis,

isn't just a pleasure trip. You're
telling me.

any younger. I mean, some people have
told me that I have matured gracefully.

But your father, your father, I mean,
nobody tells me I look like Cary Grant.

Mom, what is he trying to say?

Well, Rhoda, our marriage is on the
rocks.

You're talking ridiculous.

I don't believe that.

If your marriage is on the rocks, how
come you and Papa are in here?

acting like nothing is wrong. He doesn't
know.

Wait, wait, how could he not know?

Rhoda, I've been keeping something from
you.

It's very difficult to tell you this,
Rhoda, but there's another party.

Another party? You don't mean you?

and tell me that my father is fooling
around.

Who's fooling around? He's dead serious.

Believe me, Rhoda, a woman knows the
signs. The signs. Ah, come on, Ma. What

signs? Like taking me out to dinner and
bringing home flowers.

Ma, listen.

I want you to stop this talk. I'm
telling you, I don't want to talk any

about it.

Rhoda, you've got this all wrong.

It's not his fault.

And people spark to your father.

What kind of proof have you got?

For 33 years, that nice Mrs.

Edelman that worked with your father?

Yeah. Well, now all of a sudden, a nice
old lady is not what he wants for a

secretary.

Now he has a 24 -year -old girl with
blue eyes.

What happened to Mrs. Edelman? She died.

Listen to me. I don't want to discuss
this any further.

guilty. Mary, I'm checking the billing.
No calls, no interruptions. Right, Mr.

Grant. I thought the billing came on the
first of the month. His bar bills come

on the 15th. Oh, yeah.

Newsroom.

Well, it's got to be there.

I'll come help you look.

Mary, the film for our feature story is
missing. What story? The one on

inefficiency in business.

I mean, lunch reservations at two
restaurants.

Well, welcome to the WJM newsroom.
Golly, why isn't anything the way you

it? You know what I expected here? 30 or
40 reporters, a dozen copy boys,

Spencer Tracy is the fighting editor.

Oh, well, that's because everybody's at
lunch, except us.

So that way I can show you around
without disturbing anyone. I mean, that

you're interested.

Interested? Oh, we love studio tours,
don't we, Mark? Oh, that one in

that was really something.

Oh, yeah, first you get on this...

takes you around to the dressing rooms
of the stars, and then the stars come

and say hello to you. That's right. And
the show they put on.

I'm telling you, these stuntmen are
falling out of trees, out of buildings.

All of a sudden, you're on a boat, and
there's a torpedo coming right at you.

And suddenly, there's a big explosion.
I'm telling you, you'd swear it was the

real thing. It is the most fantastic
thing I have ever seen.

Now, Mary, give us your tour.

Very interesting.

Oh,

somebody draws over here? Right, right,
yes, he does. And these are his colors.

His colored carousel. My, did you ever
see so many colors?

Mary, excuse me, could you help us look?

Oh, yeah, sure. I'll be just a second. I
have to find some film.

I was here once before, you know, so I
could sort of pick up where Mary lived.

And this is Mary's typewriter.

Is this Mary's chair?

to the buzzer.

I'll be right in, Mr. Grant.

but I didn't. I thought maybe she was
somebody important.

But now she turns out to be your
friend's mother.

I'm sorry, Mr. Grant. It won't happen
again.

Excuse me.

Rhoda, I'll be out in just a minute.

No, I've got to do this, ma 'am. Is she
in trouble because of what just

happened? Rhoda, really, everything is
okay. I am not in trouble.

I disagree.

Now listen, Lou. It was my mother. So if
you're going to yell at someone, yell

at me.

believe you took me up on that offer.

Do you have anything left for me?

No, that did it.

Mary, I am sorry. I do crazy things when
I'm hungry. It's okay. Listen, we can

go to lunch now.

Where is your mother?

Oh, I don't know. She must have wandered
off somewhere.

Mary, we found the film.

don't mix. I keep trying to talk on key.

Do you have any juice?

Yes, you're in the fridge. Help
yourself.

How was the evening with your parents?

Oh, we watched TV.

There were certain TV programs that my
mother simply will not miss. I know. My

mother's the same way.

Hey, you want some juice?

No, thanks.

See, my father had planned to take us to
this nice French restaurant, but we

never would have made it back in time.

So we stayed at the motel and had
chicken in the bucket with Chad Everett.

If you'll excuse me, I've got some
laundry to do. I mean, I know you don't

an audience.

No, it's okay, Mary. I don't mind an
audience. Mary, she loves an audience.

So come and sit down.

I'll tell you everything.

Ma,

you're not telling us anything.

What happened?

We had a big fight.

Does Pop know about it?

Mr. Morgenstern, I just want to say, you
know, that I like both you and Mr.

Morgenstern. And I'm sure this whole
thing is going to, you know, straighten

itself out. But, you know, I really feel
that it would be wrong of me to make a

comment one way or the other at this
time.

do have some laundry that I gotta take
care of. Well, I can say this fast.

I'm a modern woman who knows the score,
and I know that the male animal has

certain needs that a loving and devoted
wife of 35 years cannot satisfy.

You said all this to him?

Yeah, but not so fast.

Ma, please, just go back to the motel to
pop. Right now. No, Rhoda. A marriage

cannot survive without honesty.

There's only one thing that will get me
to go back to your father.

And what's that, Ma?

If he'll admit he doesn't love me
anymore.

a wool sweater in the second drawer.

I've got to hang up now, but I'm telling
you for the last time, don't come.

Don't come.

He's coming, isn't he? Of course. Why
shouldn't he come?

Sit here in the dark and try to figure
out where it all went wrong.

That's him. Where can I hide? Who is it?

It's me.

That's not him. It's Rhoda. Don't let
her in either. She'll squeal on me.

Mary, I am so sorry about this.

Ma, what are you doing? I want your
father to be happy. And the only way he

be happy is if he's free of me.

He'll never be free of you. I should
know.

So hard to handle.

Mr. Morgenstern, I bet I know what it
is. I'll bet you Mrs.

Morgenstern is just going through... The
change of life. Right. She went through

that ten years ago.

Maybe she's changing back.

I was sitting there watching the news,
and all of a sudden your mother is

telling me she knows I'm having affairs,
and that she understands.

Listen, if you'll excuse me, I have a
few things I have to wash out.

But I can't right now. Hey, Mary, Mary,
listen. You know Ida. You're a very

objective third party. Can't you reason
with her?

Mr. Morgenstern, I don't think I ought
to have I said to Mrs.

Morgenstern earlier...

Don't you have some laundry to do or
something?

Yeah, sure, sure. Ma!

What are you doing? Is that any way to
talk to Mary?

Go upstairs and use my apartment.

I don't want to.

Why not? It's nicer here.

Perfectly all right. I'll make good use
of the time. I've got to go to the

laundromat anyway.

I've got one thing to say.

If there's a custody battle, when they
bring me into the courtroom, I refuse to

run into the arms of either one of you.

Ida, come on.

Let's talk about this thing
intelligently.

My slippers.

that is all it's been.

Honestly? Honestly.

Tell me one thing, Martin. What?

If you had been fooling around, would
you tell me now?

No.

Well, honey, I'd want to spare your
feelings.

That's sweet.

How do I know you're not sparing my
feelings now?

You don't. Well, are you?

No. Honestly?

Honestly. Oh, Martin, I'm so mixed up
with all these honestly's.

It would be simpler if you just told a
lie.

Oh, you want to hear a lie?

I'm going to tell you a lie.

Ida, these last 35 years have been pure
agony.

I don't love you more than anything else
in the whole world.

That's a lie?

Biggest one I ever told.

problematic for you.

Look, we've been married for 35 years,
honey. It's time we... It's time we

renewed our lease.

Renewed our lease?

Yeah. Oh, Martin, that's so poetic.

Oh, please.

Hello,

Rhoda. Guess who?

She guessed.

What's new?

She wants to know what's new with us.

the sense of humor.

Oh, Mary!

Mary, do you know a nice synagogue
around here?

A synagogue?

What do you need a synagogue for?

Your father proposed to me we're going
to get married again.

Second ceremony, right here in
Minneapolis.

What do you think? Oh, Pop, I love it.

Wait a minute. You're not doing this
because you have to.

to go back to their motel.
