Well, Jody, Buffy, those are pretty big shoes for you guys.

They're not for us guys.

They're for Uncle Bill. His hunting boots. He's leaving in the morning.

He's going to shoot mooses in Maine.

And elk. And maybe tigers.

Jody, there are no tigers in Maine.

But if there were, then he'd shoot them.

No, I don't want to...

Miss Lee, I don't want any calls or wires. This trip is supposed to be to

away from it all for a couple of weeks, so don't mess up my vacation and I'll

bring you back an antler, okay?

Thank you.

Oh, boy.

Uncle Bill. Hey, how do you like my new hat?

Adorable. Adorable?

Well, wear the old one.

Oh, I'm sorry. I'm not concentrating.

Emmy.

In we go.

Well, good news, sir.

Cleaners were able to get the bacon grease out of your hunting shirt.

And your boots are all shiny.

Uncle Bill, can I try on your hunting hat?

Sure.

Bang, bang, I shot a moose.

On the contrary, you have just shot a gentleman's gentleman.

need your advice.

What's his name?

Norton Weberly. I just met him.

He's adorable.

Like my hat.

Uncle Bill, he wants to take me to a movie tomorrow and brunch on Sunday.

Do you think I should accept two dates when I just met him?

Oh.

Well, I guess if you think he's nice, why not? Go ahead. Accept. Sure.

I already did.

for the advice.

Anytime.

Hey, what time's your brother expecting you out there in Long Island?

By six o 'clock, sir. You better get going.

I can pack the rest of the stuff.

Oh, well, sir, there may be a few odds and ends to take care of before you

leave. I'm not going to leave till morning. You're going to have plenty of

for odds and ends. Go on, Gary.

If you wish, sir. She'll be on.

but didn't break.

Ah, you see?

French thinks we can't get along by ourselves.

Uncle Bill, I'll be upstairs with Sharon. I have to tell her about Norton

Weberly. Okay. Norton Weberly.

That's a new one.

If Sissy marries him, her name will be Mrs. Weberly. I hope not. That's too

to spell.

Uncle Bill, why are you going hunting in the middle of the winter?

Well, honey, because, because, um, Sometimes people have to get away from

offices and business and rest up so they can come back strong, see?

You mean you're going to play Herky?

That's right. I'm going to play Herky.

Hey, 7 o 'clock in the morning. Where are you?

Snowbound on Long Island in the midst of a howling blizzard, sir.

Blizzard?

It wasn't snowing when I went to bed last night. When did it start?

Around 11 last night, sir.

I tried to reach you, but the lines were down.

I'm afraid I won't be able to find a train into the city.

Yeah, well, hey, I better call Kennedy Airport and see about my flight.

Oh, I do hope you aren't grounded, sir.

After all those weeks of looking forward to your hunting trip.

You and me both. Well, look, I'll see you... Get back

when you can.

Goodbye, sir.

Snow? It's a blizzard. No, you can't.

Uncle Bill, Mr. French isn't in his bedroom.

I know, honey. He just called. He's stuck out in Long Island.

He's stuck in the snow?

Oh, poor Mr.

French. Who's going to pull him out?

He's stuck in a house.

Hello? I want to check on flight 71 to Bangor, Maine, please.

Yeah, I'll hold.

We can't go outside, Jody.

Gosh, what are we going to do in the house all day?

Well, first thing you can do is help get breakfast. Now, you get the bacon and

you get the eggs, okay? Okay. Go on. You get the pen and I'll get the pencil,

Bill.

Yeah, I know you're busy. Yes, ma 'am.

I'll hold.

Oh, no, I get achy.

What's the matter, Bob?

Another shell fell in. Look.

The ball's full of them. We better start digging them out.

Uh -uh. Digging takes too long.

Does Mr. French know you're in here making a mess?

Uh -uh. He's stuck in Long Island in the snow.

Yeah, and Uncle Bill told us to make breakfast.

I'll take care of it.

Oh, no.

I'm getting a cold.

What a terrible time to have a red nose.

My first date with Norton West...

You, Uncle Bill, think you'll be able to get out to go to your hunting trip?

I don't know yet. The airline's going to call back.

Well, blizzard or no blizzard, I'm going out on my first date with Norton.

Well, I'll tell you what. You better call Dr.

Felson now.

Oh, he won't be in the office yet, but you can get him at home. If he says it's

okay, it's all right with me.

Okay, that's fair enough.

I'll call him.

the kids in the building know what to do with themselves today either.

Hey, yeah.

Why don't we all know what to do together?

Can we invite them all up here?

Okay. No, not all of them. Just a few.

I hope that's the airline with good news.

Poor Uncle Bill.

What will he do if he can't fly to Maine to hunt moose?

He'll just have to sit around and play what not to do with us.

be taking off, Charlie.

Is it snowing up there, too?

No, it's all clear.

Perfect weather for hunting.

I'm going out for breakfast, then I'm heading right into the woods.

Sure miss you, Bill.

Okay. Well, if the storm ever lets up, maybe I'll make it out of here today

Save a moose for me, huh?

Bye -bye.

Uncle Bill, Dr. Thelson is too old -fashioned.

Why? Doesn't he want you to go out?

Get right to bed. Drink plenty.

with Norton.

Well, why don't you just call Norton and tell him you got a cold? He'll

understand, won't he?

Oh, Uncle Bill, I can talk to him with a stuffy nose.

Why not?

Well, what attracted him was my sexy voice.

I'll have Sharon call.

No further notice.

There goes your hunting trip.

Bluey.

Bluey.

No, I have no idea when the trains will be running, Mr. Davis.

go outside to the plane in here.

Come on, men. Let's go capture the youth people.

That was a bunch of Martians. They're disintegrating a tea party.

We sympathize with you, sir. One rainy Saturday, we survived an Indian attack

the sewing circle.

television set.

You might inquire if they'd like to watch Captain Hippopotamus at the

sir. It's on right now, sir.

I'll try anything.

Hey!

Anybody want to see Captain Hippopotamus at the circus?

Two -faced Norton Weberly. That's what we like, Norton Weberly.

Uncle Bill, how can a girl with a cold like a boy who doesn't even have the

decency to call and inquire about her cold?

You said you didn't want to talk to him.

Oh, everything's gone wrong today.

This hair dryer and my cold.

Don't let him see me with a red nose and with curlers in my hair. Okay, whatever

you say.

Well, tell him I'm sleeping.

All right, all right.

What kind of a circus

is that?

We switched to a horror movie.

Yeah, Dracula can do better tricks than an elephant anyway.

We thought you were Norton.

red and green at the same time.

Uncle Bill, that's how Dracula's face is supposed to be.

Are you going to dry your hair, Uncle Bill?

No, honey, I'll use the towel. I'm just going to test out this motor.

a switch.

Uncle Bill, Dracula blew up!

Now we'll never get to see the end.

They all end the same way.

Dracula marries a girl and they all live happily ever after.

Well, I'm sorry, kids.

Looks like no more television today.

I got a great idea.

Why don't all of us go on the terrace and throw a snowball?

No, now wait a minute. Just a minute. You're not going out on the terrace in

blizzard. You play in the... Go on in the living room.

Busy, Mr. Davis?

No, not very.

Why?

Mr. Davis, in my opinion, Sissy needs her uncle...

Gordon took another girl to Radio City.

In a blizzard.

That doesn't mean anything. He's still like you.

He hasn't called me once.

You still got brunch tomorrow.

He won't come for me in a blizzard.

Well, maybe it won't snow tomorrow. Maybe it'll just be cold.

That doesn't help.

He only likes me in fair weather.

Uncle Bill, Uncle Bill, come see our snowman.

I told you not to play out on the terrace.

You're not going to make a beard now. Get all that snow back outside before it

melts.

a little snow on the rug.

We don't mind, Uncle Bill.

It's fun to have kids around for a while.

But it's nice to be alone with you, too.

I feel the same way.

Uncle Bill, would you read to us?

Sure.

This is our favorite book.

Okay.

Winnie the Pooh.

You guys must know this by heart.

That's why we like it.

Well, now, I don't think I can do as good a job as Mr. to French, but I'll

it a shot.

Chapter one, in which we are introduced to Winnie the Pooh and some bees and the

stories begin.

Here's Edward Bear coming down the stairs now. Bump, bump on the back of

head. There are three bumps, Uncle Bill.

You left out the most important bump.

I just want to see if you were paying attention.

Bump, bump, bump on his head behind Christopher Robin.

It is, as far as he knows, the only way of coming downstairs. But sometimes he

feels that there's really another way.

Now, sis, you have got to eat something. I know I'm not as good a cook as

French, but just go on and eat that.

It's not your cooking, Uncle Bill.

I just can't even think of food.

Norton, huh?

Not once.

solitary phone call from him. And it's after seven.

How many times have you been out with Norton?

Well, we haven't been out exactly.

But when we talked that once, we had immediate chemistry.

Oh.

And you figured it would build into something, huh?

You took it for granted he was all knocked out, and then when he suggested

dates, well, you figured that that was just going to grow into something that

they write the great novels about, huh?

Yes.

Well, you know, he might have been just passing the time of day. Maybe he didn't

realize it was a great love.

Could be all in your mind.

I don't think so.

Well, you just take a deep breath and think it over.

I don't think you're so miserable because great romance has gone out of

life. You're just unhappy because your pride's hurt, right?

You know you're not going to be a great smash with every guy you meet.

The sooner you get that idea out of your head, the better, or else you're going

to miss an awful lot of meals.

I think I'm hungry.

All right.

Besides, you've got to leave a couple of guys around for somebody else.

Uncle Bill, is Sissy eating her dinner tonight?

If not, I'll take her dessert for her.

Well, that's nice of you. You know she's going to eat. You guys get ready for

bed. Mr. French is going to be home soon.

Then you can start your vacation.

Going hunting, huh, Uncle Bill?

Yep, finally.

Here he is.

I'll get it.

We thought it was Mr. Fred. Tell me the man with the box.

Flowers? Sign here, sir.

I'm sorry I couldn't get them to you this morning when Mr. Webley ordered

Boy, a blizzard can sure whack up a schedule.

Sure can.

Thanks.

From Norton.

She sent flowers.

Roses are red, violets are blue.

Get rid of that cold so I can be with you.

Oh, Uncle Bill.

Oh, maybe that's the airport.

If any luck, I'll be in Maine by midnight.

Hey, the storm's letting up. Maybe I can get out of here tonight.

Did you get yourself a moose? Oh, I got something a lot better than a moose. I

landed a big contract.

Ran into Fred Cardigan this morning at breakfast.

We have been dickering for 12 solid hours.

You didn't do any hunting at all, huh?

You're not listening, Bill.

I landed the tunnel job.

My nerves are shot, but it was worth it.

rings tomorrow to talk to cardigan's lawyer why don't you join us there bring

along your golf clubs it's a chance to relax you know get a change of pace no

thanks just saying charlie look look i'll see you when you get back in town

I'm sorry the storm deprived you of your hunting trip, sir. You needed that

change of pace.

Oh, I don't care, French. I feel great.

Sir?

I think the best change of pace for me is to get snowbound with a couple of

little kids and a moonstruck teenager.

Well, I must confess, Mr. Davis, I'd never thought of it quite like that.

Go and get your coats on. We're going to go out on the terrace and build a new

snowman.
