Oh! Mercy sakes, Hector.

You scared me out of a year's growth.

Gosh, Nett y! I'd hate to do that.

Letter says, "important," but it ain't.

It's just a corset ad. I got one for all you girls.

Card's post marked 'Poughkeepsie, N.Y.'

You've got a married sister there, ain't you? Yeah.

And how did she say she is?

Oh, fine!

Hello Cora. Hello!

Oh, there ain't nothing for you folks, today.

Well, what were you tooting about?

Well, I... I thought maybe, there was something to go.

Is business so bad at the Post Office,

you have to go around drumming up trade?

Hector Titus, what ails you?

Don't you know?

No. Listen.

For Uncle Sam, I toot twice, but three times means

"| love you."

Hector!

You're disturbing Professor Dana at his work.

Well, don't you care about me?

Let's take that up later, Hector. Or...

Let's not.

Cora, please.

I'm trying to read proof on my book.

I've got to find the laundry list.

Precisely what makes you think your laundry list will be among my papers?

Precisely because you make notes on everything.

I did not use, I did not take,

and I have not got your wretched laundry list.

Now, go away and let me work.

Darwin observed in 1952...

That can't be right.

Vitamin J is composed of three pairs socks,

four pair underwear male, four shirts...

What's this list for? Let me have it.

There's a strange unnatural quiet about the house this morning.

Where's Nancy? Out gallivanting with some boy.

Jane's in the barn, working. Sylvia isn't up yet.

Silvia is an actress, Cora.

Remember, actresses never get up before noon.

Actress, my aunt Fanny.

A fellow rushes on the stage and says,

"I say, the duke just eloped with the milkmaid."

And she says, "Not really!"

And that's all she ever did get to say, all last winter.

Look at that. Ten o'clock.

I'm going up and roust her out.

Who does she think she is?

"Announcing an important book:

"The Effect of Diet on Heredity

"by Oliver Dana."

"A.B.A.M., PhD."

"Publication date, September 30th."

"The author."

"He is now Principal of a small town high-school."

"This book will make him a leading authority on nutrition."

Authority?

Couldn't you practice some role

where you just suffer silently?

I'm awfully sorry, Father.

I will be as quiet as a mouse.

Thank you, Sylvia.

Pick me a pickle.

This is the thesis of my treatise.

- Yeah? - Yeah.

Well, you like it or not, she's my girl.

"BOY". She never said so. KENNETH: She never said she wasn't, so she is.

Yeah? KENNETH". Yeah.

Yeah? Well, I asked Nancy first.

"KENNETH". She's going with me.

Yeah? KENNETH". Yeah.

You think you're a big shot 'cause you live in Danbury.

Ah, go home, you hick.

I dare you to hit me. I double dare you.

"I'll show you... KENNETH". You can't do that in this town!

You won't get away with it.

Boys, boys, boys...

Kenneth, I'm surprised at you,

President of the Freshman class.

He can't grab my girl. I grabbed her.

Gentlemen, gentlemen, what are you fighting about?

Me, Pop.

She said she'd go to the 4th of July dance with me.

And then, this guy...

He said he'd buy her a slave bracelet.

Okay. I cannot waste my time with you brats.

Go on down to the boathouse and take a swim.

And behave yourselves.

Last one in's a rotten egg.

Slave bracelet?

Thank you, Dad.

That's too good for rabbits.

Much too good. How are they today?

Never better.

I'm beginning to wonder whether that's due to my diet or your singing.

You know, there may be a vitamin in music.

Not my music anyway, I guess.

Any increase in the population?

Uh huh. Mrs. 129, sextuplets.

What again? Hm.

That's nice going, isn't it?

How many litters has she had, as of today?

Seven.

I assume she ought to be getting litter-perfect.

Oh, Dad. I'm sorry.

Full of pep, today.

The blurb for my book called me an authority.

Well, it's a wonderful book.

Hey, look. Ms. 272 seems to have lost three ounces last week.

What diet is she on?

TYPE six.

Try Type four.

Shall I add some Vitamin E and estrogenic hormone?

Mm-hm. Say, they'll be calling you an authority too,

pretty soon like Madam Curie.

Madam Curie?

No, it'll be a long, long time before I know anything much about anything.

Except maybe, the habits of rabbits.

Anything wrong?

No, why Dad? Have you noticed a change in me?

Oh, no sudden change. Of course, since the day

when I used to walk the floor with you, you have grown up a little.

Not much.

I'm afraid I am not very sophisticated.

Sophistic... Now, you are being young.

Real sophistication, dear, is just the another name for good taste.

Sophistication isn't doing. It's knowing.

The dictionary says, it's worldly knowledge based on experience.

Hey, Peggy, Jane, Come here a minute, will ya?

You go. I'll finish this. Thank you, Dad.

And speaking as an authority...

I'd say you're the nicest girl in the world.

Oh, it's awfully sweet of you, Dad, but...

I'm sick of it.

Would you rather be nasty?

I can see my tombstone, right now.

"Here lies Jane Dana."

"Scientist and spinster."

"She died at the age of 82."

"A nice girl."

Morning, Don. Hi Peg.

Hang on to this speed wrench, will ya?

Hey, what's this?

Happy Birthday.

Gee, thanks, Peggy. Thanks very much.

Nobody in town has a Samoa.

I've seen from Java's and Siam's, Borneo's and Tahiti's,

but no Samoa.

I am not too sure where Samoa is. Are you?

Yes, it's right over that way.

Oh, now I know.

Well, all I know is that Robert Louis Stevenson says,

to get to Samoa, you go to the Pacific Ocean and turn left.

Well, here. Hold on to this a minute.

You know, I've got a better idea

for a baffle system for that muffler.

If it works out, it will cut power loss down 6% or maybe even 8%.

Hand me that small wrench, will you?

Here it is.

They say, it's so beautiful.

So romantic, so different.

That does it.

Say Peggy, do you wanna go for a ride?

Just up Red Coat Hill.

There's something I wanna tell you.

Don, I'd love to.

Wait, I'll have to go tell Cora.

Do you think she'll let you go all by yourself?

Mr. Webb, a little less sarcasm and more soap and water,

if you don't mind. If you're gonna be formal,

I'll even put on a shirt.

Sweet, isn't it?

Hm?

Listen, Jane.

Yes, Don?

Well Don, what was it you wanted to say to me?

Huh?

I just want you to listen.

I am listening.

Well?

Well, what?

Oh, don't you notice any difference

since the last time we were up here?

You seem the same. On the outside, anyway.

Oh, not in me. In the motor!

Oh.

Listen to her purr!

She doesn't growl, she doesn't groan, she just purrs.

Isn't that beautiful?

Perfect.

Hm. Right bank's little warm.

Peaceful up here, isn't it?

Uh-huh?

Makes you feel so alone, doesn't it?

Huh?

I mean, as if there's nobody for miles, and miles, and miles.

Uh-huh. Like to get out?

If you would.

"Legend says that here, Wild Cloud,"

"a young Indian brave leaped to his death."

"When he lost the love of the Indian Maiden, Shy Eyes."

Do you think, you really did?

Did what?

Died for love?

Huh?

Oh, him!

Shouldn't wonder. He doesn't look any too bright.

Don Webb, I think y0uTeinlove with this juggernaut.

I guess, I am a little.

Well after all, I built her with my own hands.

Yes, and just look at them.

Oh, Don!

Now, here's what I wanna tell you about.

Now, you see this potato? Yes, Don.

Just an ordinary everyday spud.

All right? Now, watch.

Stick it in the exhaust pipe.

Now, I'll show you something.

See?

Wide open. No power.

And all because of a potato.

It'll slow any car down to 15 miles/hour.

You can't make it go any faster.

Well, the muffler in the car of today

is almost as big a power thief as a potato.

But in the car I'm gonna make,

I'm gonna eliminate that power loss.

H ow?

I don't know yet.

Oh now, I'll show you how to get rid of the potato.

I turn off the ignition.

Then, I turn it on to make the car backfire.

Kaboom! Out shoots the potato!

Is this what you brought me up here to tell me?

Yeah, interesting. Isn't it? Fascinating.

Do you know more tricks with potatoes?

Oh, no. The, let's go home.

We thank you for this food and for the fun of eating it together in peace.

Amen.

Oh, it's hot!

One does not blow on one's soup.

Oh. Doesn't one?

Well, there are several schools of thought in the art of soup cooling.

There are the blowers,

the tanners,

diluters with ice water,

and the wait-till-it-coolers.

Now, I belong to the old school, the toughest.

We take our soup straight.

And if it burns us, we just laugh it off.

See?

You want ice water, Dad?

Nancy? Manners.

May I be excused? I think it's for me.

I am anticipi-tating a call.

Nancy... Anticipating.

Thank you, Jane.

This is the Dana residence.

Miss Nancy Dana speaking.

Hello darling. Who is this?

I bet I can too guess...

It's um...

Georgie?

Um... Ken?

Father, you really should do something about that child.

What, lock her up? I tried that with you.

By the way, whatever became of that butcher boy with adenoids?

Well, he's still got 'em.

I know. It's Porky.

You could put the phone int the dining room.

Look, she hasn't eaten her soup once this week.

Leaveit Leaveit.

Is it, uh... Bugs y?

It's Pinky.

Pinky Greene.

I knew it was you all the time.

Oh, Well...

I can't talk now.

There are persons here.

Oh!

Al Revoire.

Pardon my absence.

It's Au Revoir.

Thank you, Jane dear.

One does not read one's book when one is at the dinner table.

Father, speak to Nancy. Hello, Nancy.

There we go. That's more like it.

Potato?

No. No potatoes?

Getting finicky in your old age.

It's too late for the mail.

If it's that boy, Stinky Bean...

It's not Pinky Greene.

It's Hector, all right. Probably a special delivery.

Now Hector, we don't want any parades.

Brand new. You like it?

Cute as a bug's ear.

But did you have the nerve to get me out here to show me this?

Oh! Special delivery for the Professor.

Oh. From New York, NY.

Research Institute of The Van De Meer Scientific Foundation.

Now, what do you suppose?

It's probably about something scientific like Botany.

Thanks.

What are you doing tonight?

Hector, forward march.

Thank you, Cora.

Oh, Van De Meer Foundation of Science. Look.

Oh Dad, they've given you a fellowship.

Oh Father, do open it.

Gee, we'll live in New York on Park Avenue.

You read it, Jane. I forgot my glasses.

All right.

It's not exactly a fellowship,

but it's a step toward one.

There's a man coming to see you from the Institute, Dad.

"Sorry for such short notice, to discuss your..."

"Cordially yours, Richard Calvert."

Richard Calvert?

Mm. It's a romantic name.

Richard Calvert.

How old is he, Pa?

Oh, thereabout... How do I know?

Mm... Richard Calvert is 50-ish.

He is a small... pale man with a big black beard.

And he looks at you as if you were a germ under a microscope.

You know him, then?

No, but since he's a great scientist.

Oh, I can grow a beard.

Mine will be pink, I guess.

Is he gonna live in the house?

We could make room for him here.

Sylvia, you can move in with Nancy and me.

No, I think Mr. Calvert would be more comfortable if he stayed at the Inn.

Oh, I guess we all would.

What's for dessert, Cora?

Oh, charlotte russe.

Hm.

There better be six of these.

There are six.

You see? I'm as innocent as a new laid egg.

Where did I put that pastry tube? This it?

Oh.

You see? How did the Professor take it?

Take what?

The news.

What news?

The letter.

Hector Titus, you're the snooping-est, peeping-est...

Aw!

Aw, you little rascal.

Here, you can lick the bowl.

Now, now, now, Hector...

Ah, just one, Cora. Not now.

Ah!

Excuse me, Hector.

Howdy, Nancy? I was just...

Oh, don't worry.

I understand.

Cora, that man. He's coming tonight.

Pop just saw the date on the letter.

Jane's got to drive over to Greenleaf to meet the 8:14 train.

Well, she better hurry up.

Who's coming? Whiskers.

Cora!

Cora, is there any gas in the car?

There's enough. Hello, Hector.

Here, eat this on the way. Thank you.

Jane, Mr. Calvert is not expecting to be met by a girl. He won't be looking for you.

Well, I'll be looking for him. I'll know him by his scientific look.

Drive carefully, now.

You know me, always careful.

Oh hello, Hector. Howdy, Professor.

HeHo, Doug.

Hi, Jane.

Going to the boat club dance?

Yeah, I guess so.

My guest wants to.

Hiya, Pete!

Hiya, Doug!

Oh, oh!

Oh, strictly a goody.

No hope? No hope, no soap, no nothing.

How do you do?

How do you do? My car's right over there.

So is my wife.

Oh, aren't you Mr. Calvert?

No, but a rose by any other name...

Oh, I'm sorry. But I am looking for a man with a beard.

That's funny.

Oh, is it?

Yeah, so am I.

So are you what? Looking for a man with a beard.

At least I think he has one.

Say, maybe we're looking for the same fellow.

Is your beard named Dana by any chance?

No.

What? Did you say Dana? Yeah.

Scientific Doug. Do you know him?

He's my father, I'm his daughter.

Well, how do you do, Miss Dana?

You're not Richard Calvert. Uh-huh.

Oh, but you don't look like him.

I mean, I thought you were different.

Well. With shrubbery.

Whiskers or no whiskers, I'm still Richard Calvert.

I have been for years.

My car's right over there.

It's awfully nice of you to come and meet me.

That's a charming house.

Will you look at that? What?

That fence.

When I was a kid in Maryland, we had a fence like that.

I used to be able to play tunes on it. Listen.

Home, sweet home.

No.

Old Black Joe.

No, Dixie!

How are you, Mr. Calvert?

Mighty nice of you to come all the way up here.

So far, it hasn't been much of a hardship, Professor.

I take it that your specialty is Dietetics.

No, I'm not really a scientist.

May I take your hat? Thanks.

I'm a field man.

Sort of run errands for the institution.

You know, go to strange places, collect strange things.

Oh? You bring them back alive, I trust.

Professors? Yeah.

Excuse me a moment.

Well, let's go and sit down.

Any house rule against a pipe?

No, no.

There's only one rule in this house, Mr. Calvert.

All jokes are funny.

Well, that's a good rule too.

Let me go, let me pass.

Where do you wanna go?

You shall not save me.

Is what he writes true? It says, "He falls back..."

Oh, never mind falling back. Go on, go on.

It can't be true.

It is true.

I've loved you beyond all else in the world.

Sure. No silly ovation. Ovation...

Got a date, Jane? No.

I've always loved you.

You shall not save me, you shall not save me.

What's the old order Hke, Jane?

You shall...

Sure. I know people are harder to handle than rabbits,

but I think I can make the pygmy stay on your diet, Professor.

Last expedition, I got rather chummy with the little fellas.

Welcome back.

Good news, Jane. Mr. Calvert's going to the wilds of Australia.

When? As soon as I can.

A few days, probably.

He's gonna get just the data that I need.

We want to find out what makes the men over there so little

and the rabbits so big.

Will you be gone long, Mr. Calvert? Not long. A year or two.

Oh, it'll take at least a year of controlled experiments.

What worries me is, will the pygmies play ball?

I think so, for me.

I'm really a great pal with Goobeli.

Goobeli?

He's the chief of the pygmies.

He and I are just like that.

That's the chief.

What do they eat?

Anything that doesn't eat them first

but what they really like best is gumdrops.

I remember I was out hunting one day and as I was going through the bush

Peggy? Hi, Peggy?

Excuse me.

Want to go down to the drugstore have a soda?

Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know that...

Come on in, Don.

Fine.

This is Mr. Webb, Mr. Calvert.

How do you do? How do you do, Mr. Calvert? Glad to know ya.

I'm sorry. I've been working on the car.

Oh. It's only transmission grease.

Oh. Please go on about the gumdrops.

Sure.

As I was going through the bush,

this was in Australia about five years ago,

suddenly I realized that two of the pygmies were following me.

You know how they creep? No.

Well, anyway, they were creeping along after me.

Suddenly, one of them went out of hoop, and drew back his boomerang...

Forgive me for bursting in like this.

This is my daughter, Sylvia, Mr. Calvert.

How do you do? I just wanted to tell Father,

that I've got your room ready for you.

Well, thanks, but I'm staying at the inn.

Oh, nonsense. OLIVER: That's what it is. Nonsense.

Well, if I won't be in the way...

Oh, where's your bag?

Out in the car. I'll get it.

Oh, no, let me. I'll get it.

Well, thanks.

Do go on about your story, Mr. Calvert.

It sounds thrilling. Yeah.

Where was I?

In the bush.

You'd just let out a cry, and drawn your boomerang.

Sylvia is on the stage, Mr. Calvert.

And good too, I imagine.

Calvert, that's a southern name, isn't it?

When I was in Philadelphia, I met some Calvert's.

The, uh, the Albert Calvert's. No, no, it wasn't Albert, it was...

Please let him go on about the gumdrops.

What gumdrops?

Well, I haven't gotten to them yet.

You see, the second pygmy was armed with a spear.

He raised it.

- Where does this go? - In my room.

I've moved in with my sisters.

Are there more of you?

Just one.

She's upstairs in bed.

Oh, that's too bad.

No. It's the best place for her. She's not ill.

She's reading Little Women.

Oh, youngster, huh?

Well, the pygmy was about to throw a spear at me...

Oh, then he missed you with his boomerang?

No, that was the first pygmy.

Oh, he missed.

- No. - Where did he hit ya?

Nobody has thrown anything at anybody yet.

It was Gilbert.

I beg your pardon?

It was the Gilbert Calvert's, I met.

Are they related to you?

Well, vaguely.

I'm of the southern branch of the family.

Well, I tried to be nonchalant.

I turned to them and smiled...

Do I intrude?

This is Nancy, the baby of the family.

How do you do?

Y'all?

Ain't she a caution?

How do you do, you all?

Hector, get your big ear away from that door.

Well.

That's the one that does it.

Oh, gee. 10-15-21.

Well, that gives you the game

and I owe you approximately 16 cents.

This is the only good hand I've held tonight.

Cora, Cora. Have we any mint juleps in the house?

We have not.

Say, Nancy. How'd he make out? Huh?

About the pygmies?

Oh, all right.

Say, Cora of what'd you do with my violin?

Left it up under the bed where you...

Now, wait. Just a minute, young lady.

You're not going around all hussied up like that.

And another thing. No more showing off tonight.

You understand?

It's not me who wants to show off, it's Pop.

He asked Mr. Calvert, if he liked music.

What did he say?

No, most folks do. He said he'd love to hear some music.

He Will.

Go on, skip along. You all.

Hector, mmm-mmm.

Aw, shucks.

You may be in for another trying evening. You know.

I don't know that I remember the music or not.

I haven't played together...

I think this is my favorite.

Give me an A, would you please? Uh-huh.

It is so so. I read it in the newspaper.

And they were married. The man was 30 and the woman was 12.

And where did the happy couple live?

In India... 49, 50.

Do you think I look my age?

You could easily pass for 14.

What are you going to wear tomorrow night, Sylvia?

Something simple and summery.

Probably pink piqué.

If you're not wearing your crimson Crepe de Chine, may I?

My Schiaparelli?

Copy of.

Don't you think it's a bit too daring?

For me? No. Well, I do.

You're more the white type.

People change.

I'll better keep your old Schiaparelli.

Besides, you'll never get to first base with, you know...

Never, never, never,

Don't you adore Richard's eyes?

Mr. Calvert's. NANCY: Well, I think of him as Richard.

Did you notice his hair?

Not especially.

Such, such manly hair.

You ought to know. You've been in it all evening.

Hmm, jealous.

Who? Me? Ho ho.

Yes, you. Ho ho ho!

Oh, he's just a wee bit too obvious.

Oh, I suppose that smooth line of his would be amusing.

For a week.

And then you'd want to give him back to the pygmies.

Well, maybe you will. But then you go in for

the big, strong, silent slowpokes.

Don is not a slowpoke.

Well, you ought to know, you've been going with him since you were six.

How old would you say Mr. Calvert is?

Thirties, perhaps?

I bet he's 22.

I suppose you could tell by his teeth.

Oh, he's older than that.

He just looks older. Because he's lived.

I have no idea how old he was when he came here.

But the way you fiddled at him, and the way you acted at him

must have aged him considerably.

You know, he might even be only 21 in a pinch.

I'm exactly 36.

On every year Independence Day, we always have, uh,

a fourth of July speech.

Patriotic.

This year the speech is going to be delivered by, uh,

by a man, uh,

a man who...

Well, anyway, there he sits.

Our good friend and neighbor,

Professor Oliver Wendall Holmes Dana.

Go on, I saw it first. I saw it first.

I'll have to ask you all to stop enjoying yourself

while he gives us his address.

Professor Dana.

Ladies and gentlemen, my speech is divided into ten main headings.

Now tonight, in towns like this, all over the country,

people like us are gathered together

to celebrate the fact,

the glorious fact,

that we are a free people.

Therefore, firstly,

should a free people sit and listen to a lot of talk,

when they can be dancing, singing or having fun?

Second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth!

And out!

But our talented fellow townsman has said that I would give you an address.

Well, here is my address,

United States of America,

which is the best address that anyone could give in the world today.

Hello Cora, hello Jake.

Oh, hello.

Come on outside.

I am outside.

Come on further outside.

Okay, come on.

Dance, Nancy?

I'd love to, Bugs y.

May I cut in? Certainly.

Aren't you dancing?

I am. With Don.

Oh, what a handsome couple you make.

We got once around the dance floor and then he had carburetor trouble.

Do you have to wait for him?

No, I don't. Let's go.

This little town of Stillwater certainly comes to life.

Mmm-hmm. Fourth of July and Groundhog day.

I wish I could wait for Groundhog day.

When do you leave? Sometime tomorrow.

Hiya, Jane. Everything hunky dory?

Absolutely. By me too.

Say boys, you think you can play without me?

Yes.

Do you mind if I cut in?

Uh, no,

Where are we going?

Don't you trust me? No.

That's fine. Come on.

Hi, Peggy-

Sorry I make a Wallflower outofyou.

You didn't. Thanks for helping me out.

You sure the car's all fixed? Oh, cinch. You see those two little...

Uh, uh, uh.

I'll rinse them off.

Look, there she is. Where?

There. Jane, Jane!

Yes.

The folks say the kids should ought to go home early.

Want to get your singing done now?

All right. From here?

Yeah.

Now if we're all nice and quiet,

Jane Dana will vocalize for us.

Jane, supposethose nasty, dirty little pygmies eat him?

There are no cannibals in Australia.

Well, there are kangaroos.

Kangaroos are herbivorous. Vegetarian. Richard.

Time to put on your bonnet and shawl.

Well, if I must.

I'll meet you outside.

Handkerchief, Cora.

Here they are.

You're going to depot now? Yes.

You plan on using your car? Of course.

Oh, Don.

Hi Peggy. Say, I'm afraid your car's in pretty bad shape, but I can fix it.

In two minutes?

You can use my car. Go ahead. Take it.

Thanks, Don.

You can drive him in to New York, if you want.

Jalopy of mine'|| get him there a lot quicker than that pokey local

and you can be back home in a few hours.

You wouldn't mind if I drove to New York with Richard?

No, I know I can trust you. You'll be careful.

I'm human, Don.

Huh?

Sure. But you're not foolish.

There's one thing I want to ask you, though.

Yes.

Don't drive over 70.

You're only thinking about your car. What about me?

Everybody in town will know I've gone away with Richard,

they might, they might think things.

About you? They might.

So might you.

Me about you?

Peggy Dana, stop being silly.

So much dirt in this carburetor. There's no room for gasoline.

Looking for something?

Potato.

In the closet, in the bag.

They say if you hang one around your neck, it's good for rheumatism.

She ain't got rheumatism, has she?

I just caught it.

If I'm not home for dinner tonight, don't worry.

She usually warms up faster than this.

And runs faster after she's warm?

Mm-hmm. Can't understand what could be wrong.

Hi, Jane.

Hi! Get a horn!

Hey! Here comes my train.

I hope you don't miss it.

Well...

when's the next train for New York?

Tomorrow. Oh!

I'd suggest you drive me to town, but...

I really should, shouldn't I?

Oh, I don't mind the trip.

Trip? In this thing, it'd be a career. Oh...

A very pleasant career, of course,

but I think I'd better find a quicker way.

Oh, no, no! Wait.

There's... there's probably some new trick gadget

that I should've twisted.

|-|'|| phone Don. He'll tell me how to make it go.

I'll see what I can do. Oh, no, no, no!

Oh, I understand cars. Not this one.

Only Don does.

Now, you stay right here. I'll be back.

Hey, mister. What's that for?

What's what for?

That potato in the exhaust pipe.

That's a cute trick.

Don't look at me!

Well, we're off. I found out what ails her.

So did I. Look at that.

Why, it's a potato!

Yeah, I know that.

But who put it in the exhaust pipe?

I-In our exhaust pipe? Yeah.

Why? Would that slow us down?

Just enough.

Who would do a trick like that?

Kid stuff.

Maybe Nancy.

When I get my hands on her...

Kiss her for me.

Yes, yes. I know I'm lucky in lots of ways.

But who wants to be just useful and contented?

After all, I'm not a cow.

I know. You're a dear.

Now, remember, your father said, "All jokes are funny."

Now look what you've done!

Oh, we need rain. Not on us.

Put up the top, will you? Yes, ma'am.

Go ahead and rain. See if we care.

It's cozy in here.

Wasn't it?

Why don't you phone Don?

Good evening, Upton.

Oh, Mr. Calvert. Good evening, sir.

Good evening, Miss. Good evening.

I left my bag out in the car.

Yes, sir.

Say, we better get out of these wet things right away. Come on.

You go in there. That's Freddie's room.

Freddie? Frederica, my kid sister.

Help yourself to any of her things.

Do you think she'd like it?

Freddie? She likes everything. You should see some of her husbands.

Anyway, she's up at Bar Harbor with the rest of the family.

Then nobody's home? Nobody but us.

I'll see you downstairs.

Trust you're comfortable, Miss. Thank you.

You couldn't have chosen anything more becoming.

Thank you.

I like this room.

I hope you'll like my room.

Huh? I'm sure you will. Come on.

Careful.

That's my Great Uncle Gerald.

Gerald? Yeah. Why not?

From what I hear, Gerald was quite a lad.

Those were his wives.

Oh.

Now, don't be frightened.

Mm. Turkey, ham,

potato salad, nuts.

What's the matter with Upton? Nothing to drink.

What would you like? Ice tea, ice coffee or milk?

Champagne.

Come in, Upton.

Why, Upton, you're positively psychic!

Thank you, sir. Shall I open it, sir?

No. Nevermind.

Shall you require anything else tonight?

That's all. Good night, Upton.

Good night, sir. Thank you, sir.

Good night, Miss.

Good night.

Well, ungidi gazana, ungidi gaza.

I beg your pardon?

That means, "May you laugh a lot and love a lot"

in double talk.

Well, ungi-ga-zazu, or whatever it is to you, Richard.

You'd better try some of this smoked turkey.

Mm-mm. I'm not a bit hungry.

Yes, Upton.

On, my! Uh...

Those are mine.

Will it be satisfactory if I have these garments

dried and pressed by first thing in the morning?

Look, Jane, why don't you stay here?

It'll be a long, mean drive home in that rain.

Oh. Well... all right.

Thank you, Miss.

Well, I'm hungry even if you aren't. You mind if I eat?

Mm-mm. No, not at all.

We now come to the Richard Calvert collection of primitive masks.

This glamor boy is from East Africa.

I saw him once with the mask off,

you'd hardly know the difference.

The owner of the next one, begged his wife to wear it.

She refused,

so he traded her for that mask over there

and felt very happy about it.

The next one is African, too.

Glamor is a matter of geography, you see.

Imagine glamor here without ears.

Or possibly, a toupee.

The one with the feathers is strictly a fake.

I got it from a race track tub,

one Derby day at Epsom Downs.

I gave him a winner.

Hold out your glass.

Well, we live only once.

Yeah, stingy, isn't it?

We should have at least two lives.

Our own and a good one.

But we have only one. Just one.

Yeah. According to Hoyle.

Then isn't it up to us to get the most we can out of that one?

The most what?

What we want.

If you know what it is.

It's awfully hard to be sure, Jane.

And it's so easy to be wrong.

You see that ring?

I got that from Tonga, near Samoa.

They call it the Friendly Islands.

Pleasant name, isn't it? Uh-huh.

It's not an engagement ring.

They don't believe in engagements.

It's not, strictly speaking, a wedding ring.

They don't go in for marriage.

You see, out there,

they“. They're friendly.

To a fault.

So when a man sees a girl he likes,

he whittles himself a ring like this, goes to her,

throws it at her feet, says, "You are beautiful.

I am strong. Pick it up. I dare you."

And if she does...

They're married.

That's it.

I've got some pictures of the friendly islanders.

Yeah. I know where they are.

Richard, your phone's ringing.

Answer it for me, will you, Jane?

But, Richard, do you think I should?

It's so late and everything.

What Of it?

Hello.

This is the Calvert residence.

Hold the line, please. I'll call him.

Richard. Come on in.

It's for you. Thanks. Here.

Hello.

Well, hello, Mother. How are you?

Yeah. I'm fine.

She? She's just a friend of mine from the country.

She's spending the night.

Now, don't be silly, Mother.

She's just one of the Dana girls.

Well, it's a long story.

Seems once upon a time, there was a potato.

Yeah. A potato.

I'll tell you all about it when I see you.

What? Yeah.

Yes, Mother.

Yes, Mother.

No, Mother.

Yes, I'm all set to sail tomorrow.

Of course, I expect you to come to see me off.

Fine. Good night, dear.

I'll say good night now, too, if you don't mind.

Well, it's been a long, hard day for both of us.

But such an amusing one for you.

Thank you so much for saving my potato for me.

But I don't think I'll need it again.

Next time, I'll find an even sillier way to make a fool of myself.

So you may keep it.

Belongs with your other trophies.

Now, Jane, let's talk this over.

And you can have back your ridiculous ring.

Just as soon as I can get it off!

Jane, don't go!

Good night. The next door.

We'll have that talk in the morning.

Good night, Jane.

Hey! It's one of the Dana girls.

That's a fine time to be getting home!

Hey! Let a body sleep!

Why, it ain't the actress one.

It's the rabbit one!

Pop! Pop!

What's all the hullabaloo?

Oh, it's Jane.

Something awful must've happened to her. But she's all right.

But she's got on somebody else's pajamas.

And, Pop, they're bright red!

It's Jane Dana!

Are those pajamas? Uh-huh.

Hey, Ma! Jane Dana's just come home, tight as a tick.

Are you all right? Yeah.

Darling, are you all right? Yes!

Here she comes, Pop.

Jane, Jane, are you all right?

Go away and leave me alone.

Hey, come here. Come here. You're not to bother your sister.

If you discuss this with anybody, I'll spank you.

Yes, Pop. Both of you.

Yes, Father.

Hey, Nancy. What happened to Jane?

Oh, Don!

What happened?

Don, if you only knew.

If I tell you, Pop will spank me.

Can I see her? NANCY: She locked herself up in her room.

And she's crying like anything.

- In somebody else's pajamas. - Come here.

Oh! Pop! I didn't mean to tell.

- Honest, I didn't. - I didn't mean to.

I didn't know what I was saying.

I'm going to be one.

I'm gonna devout my life to serving others.

But not men.

Poor, Jane.

Down at the drug store they were saying the awfullest things.

I just had to defend her.

What did you say?

Isaid... Well, lsaid,

"After all, when a girl's fiance's going away for years and years..."

Fiance?

Listen, little big-mouth,

lightning doesn't always strike in the same place twice,

but your father isn't lightning.

Cora, that was a very coarse remark.

Sylvia, spell me.

Take your pudgy paws off of Jane's cap.

Well, twas just gonna take it up to her.

Yes, so you could wake her up and pester her.

Isn't Jane up yet?

I prefer not to discuss my sister's affairs as it were.

Will you tell her I was here? Four times.

I got to go to Greenleaf now to... well, it's government business.

But I'll see her tonight at the bazaar.

Uh, no. I guess you'd better tell her I said she shouldn't go

with all this talk going on around.

Hi, Don. Hi, Hector.

Hi, Cora.

Just stopped in to talk to Jane about tonight.

If she don't feel up to appearing on the program...

Eh, eh, eh! Now you keep out of that, you Boa constrictor.

And you are not going to see Jane.

Well, I've got a telegram for her.

I was just coming by the telegraph office, and the boys started to hear,

so I said...

Can't tell nothing about a telegram from the outside.

I'll take it to Jane. Oh, no. I shall.

Hector?

I found out what men really are.

Apes. All of them Apes!

After today, I look upon all men with impunity.

First I'd look up impunity in the dictionary.

Hi, Hector. Howdy, Professor.

Hear, hear, Nancy.

Even a monkey doesn't like to have his daughter mad at him, you know?

I'm sorry I'm such a problem, Pop.

Who is the telegram for? Jane.

Oh! I'll take it up to her.

Jane. Jane dear.

It's Dad.

Oh, Dad.

Got a telegram for you.

You really want me to read it?

"Very sorry about last night. Richard."

Dad, I...

You don't have to tell me anything if you don't want to, you know?

Well, |wasn't in love with him,

and he wasn't in love with me.

And I knew it, but...

But...

Oh, Dad. I did something that was so stupid.

So cheap.

I threw myself at him.

And he didn't even kiss me.

He didn't even try.

Why, the bounder!

|...

I guess it is funnier than it is anything else.

That's the sort of talk I like to hear.

I'm afraid you've heard some you didn't like.

Well, I wouldn't say that your homecoming went unnoticed.

And you must be prepared to have a few eyebrows raised at you.

But what's a little gossip when those who count know the truth, huh?

So, let them wag their old tongues.

What this town needs is a good five-cent scandal.

No, I'm sorry. You can't speak to Jane now.

She's... She's doing as well as can be expected.

Huh?

I cannot confirm or deny the report of her engagement.

All I can say at this time is that she has a ring.

Well people better stop saying mean things about her,

because when Pop gets real mad, why he's...

Oh, no. Nancy?

Oh, Sylvia.

Let's get out and get an ice cream soda.

Drinks are on me.

You might have expected such goings-on from Sylvia or from that young imp,

but not from Jane.

Her father must be so disappointed.

You can never can tell about those quiet girls.

I always figured she was stuck on Don Webb.

I reckon Jane figured she was stuck with him.

Oh, mister Titus. It's time for the entertainment to start.

Yeah, but Jane Dana ain't here yet.

I doubt very much if she'll appear tonight

after her performance this morning.

Well, folks are claiming they're gonna be married.

I'll believe that when I hear the wedding bells.

Folks, I've got an announcement to make.

At this time, we were gonna hear a song, but,

but our soloist, Miss Jane Dana, ain't arrived as yet.

I'm gonna let a cat out of a bag.

We're gonna lose our Jane.

She's gonna marry mister Richard Calvert,

of New York City, N.Y.

So when she gets here let's show her how happy we are that she's happy.

Fudge! 10 cents a box.

Buy some fudge for charity, for the Red Cross, folks.

Oh, so you're going after all. Good girl.

Bye, Dad.

I'm late. I'll go along with you.

Dad, I rather go alone. If I may...

No. It's up to me to face the music.

It's not gonna be fun, you know? Not a bit of fun.

Don't worry. I'll be all right. I'm sure you will.

Oh, Jane Dana! Aren't you the sly one.

Doggone it, Jane. We're sure proud of you.

You sure mowed me down.

Jane, we were so surprised.

It's just too wonderful, Jane.

Oh, you certainly pulled a fast one.

It was wonderful, Jane.

We are so proud of you, Jane. Congratulations.

Come on, Jane. They are waiting for you to sing.

Jane, I'm tickled pink.

You have our blessings, Jane.

Good luck, Jane.

- Congratulations. - Oh, me too.

We're all pulling for you.

Jane, may I be your bridesmaid?

When is it? Where are you gonna live?

Hard luck, Don.

What is? Losing Jane.

Oh, what's the gag?

It's no gag. Don't you know she's gonna marry that Calvert guy.

What? Yeah.

Go ahead, kid me some more. Enjoy yourselves.

Why don't you stop being coy, Mrs. Calvert?

I have to give you a shower, Jane. Shower!

You shouldn't try and fool us.

I feel hurt you didn't tell me.

What did he say in the telegram, Peggy?

I hope you can wait until we can sew something for you.

Jane! Hey, Jane!

Peg9v, Pe99v!

Oh, Don! P9993'-

I'm glad you're here.

Now, now, kid. Don't let this upset you.

Everything is all right. You, me, everything.

I wonder what those monkeys use for brains.

Why, they actually believe that rot about you and Calvert being engaged.

They do? They do. I don't, of course.

Oh, I just can't picture you falling for him.

I can't see a man like Richard Calvert

all of a sudden making serious passes at you.

Nope. It just doesn't make sense to me.

It does to them. Oh, those dopes. They must be dizzy.

You're not gonna marry anybody but me.

Everybody knows that.

Everybody but me.

Oh, Peggy! Now you're being dizzy.

I've always taken it for granted.

So you've taken it for granted.

Well, you listen to me, Don Webb,

suppose I tell you that Richard Calvert did propose to me

and that I said yes. I wouldn't believe it.

Do you know where I was most of last night?

Alone with Richard.

Oh, I know that and I know it didn't mean a thing.

I bet he didn't even kiss you.

Or even try.

Hey, where are you going?

Look everybody, it's true.

We were gonna keep it a secret but since you know,

I might as well tell you I am engaged to Richard Calvert.

Darling, darling. I didn't guess.

Oh, I'm gonna be married in Australia

and I'm gonna spend my honeymoon in Samoa.

How soon are you gonna be married?

- Very soon, I hope. - When Jane, when?

Oh, I'm gonna leave for Australia as soon as I can.

Richard's on his way there now.

Oh, no. On the contrary Professor,

it was a bit of good luck the expedition was postponed.

The Pygmies will keep. Anyway, I prefer Danas.

Hm? Oh, I'm sorry.

Still a little woozy from the good news.

You did say the institute gave me the fellowship.

That's what I said.

Well, I don't have to teach school anymore,

I can work right here in my own lab,

I have rabbits, oodles of rabbits.

I can hardly wait to tell the girls.

Won't Jane be surprised!

Hi, Don. Leaving early, aren't you?

Anything wrong? Anything wrong?

Why, what happened? Did the draft board flunk you this afternoon?

No. They told me I wouldn't be called for at least two years.

But I'm not gonna wait to be called. I'm gonna volunteer, I...

You remember Richard Calvert, don't you?

Remember him? Oh, sure. He was here only yesterday.

Well he's back. Hello, Don.

Congratulations.

Oh, I'm not the one to be congratulated.

It is the Professor here, the Jane.

Why you... Why, you conceited...

I oughta... Oh, what's the use? What's the use of anything?

What's the matter with him? Is he tight?

I never saw him like that before.

Perhaps some lovers quarrel.

Oh, probably.

Well those don't mean anything

when two young people are as sure of each other as Jane and Don.

No, I did not say, "Oh, Richard. This is so sudden."

Though to tell the truth, it was.

Oh, what a liar you turned out to be.

Huh?

Why, only last week you said you didn't believe in love at first sight.

Oh, that was last week.

At the wedding I'll play, "Oh promise me."

Well, Professor Shake, I just heard the good news.

Already? Yup. Hector announced it but now it's all over town.

Son, you certainly done a good job of picking.

They don't come any smarter.

Nor sweeter nor prettier.

No, sir.

Prettier?

Well, sort of a big night for you, eh, Prof?

Well, biggest yet.

Sort of unexpected too, wasn't it?

I'm afraid a little undeserved.

Nonsense. You've been working for it a long time.

Yes. But who did most of the dirty work? Jane!

Little service please. A little service.

Bless my soul.

Two please. Straight. No chasers,

We're so happy. Excfied.

So am I.

The best of luck through all the years.

May there be of them. Oh, thank you.

Is supposed to last only two years. With options.

But you can do a lot in two years, you know?

Well, happy days-

Ah, it's delicious. Wonder where Jane is?

Over there. Being congratulated.

Oh, shucks I wanted to break the news to her myself.

Come on, Richard.

Are you gonna live in New York? Uh-huh.

Richard's father is giving us the dearest little house for a wedding present and I...

For a wedding present.

It's he!

HeHo, Jane.

Richard! Darling!

What a wonderful surprise! Yeah!

Yeah, it is. Isn't it...

It's all right, dear. They know we're engaged.

What? I don't know how they found out but they did.

Oh, I just couldn't lie about it.

I simply had to tell them. Oh, sweetheart!

My darling.

Let them think it's true, please, just for tonight.

Why Jane, my own... My precious!

I'm glad they know. I was just gonna tell them myself.

But I can't believe it yet. Is it true? Are you really mine?

Uh-huh. Well, I'm the luckiest man alive.

Thank you. Angel.

You can stop doing that now.

I don't want to stop now.

You...

Break.

Darling we must remember we're not alone.

Ah, congratulations, brother.

I'm the town clerk.

I have authority to issue a special marriage license for you right away.

That is if a need arises and I guess there is.

You get right along over to the office and make out that licence.

I'll marry 'em, Sam.

I'll marry 'em. Now get back, folks. Come on.

Hey, wait a minute.

Isn't it marvelous?

Make room now. That's it, that's it.

Sweetheart? Darling.

What do we do now?

Darling, shoot me.

Angel, I don't know how?

- You'll learn. - I will not wait.

We'll be married here and now.

- Oh, no. - Here and now.

But, honey, couldn't we wait just a few days?

My dear child, you might as well get it in that pretty head of yours

that when I say now, I mean now.

And you might as well get it in your pretty head

that you can't, "my dear child" me,

or "lord and master" me either.

And if you think you can bully...

Jane, not in front of these, these...

These, these, what? They're my friends.

Don't you dare call them bumpkins.

Don't you dare to roar at me like that.

Now, now, now. This won't do at all.

Richard, may I suggest... No.

Well, |happen to be her father.

I don't care a hoot what you happen to be, don't interfere.

Oh, Daddy. He showed me only his good side.

I'm jilting him. He's in on it.

There, there. He fooled me too.

You don't have to take any guff from that smug twerp.

What did you call me?

A smug twerp. And if you wanna make anything out of it...

Here Sylvia, hold my coat. You bet, Dad.

Sock him, Pop. He's a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.

Jane, I'm still willing to marry you

in spite of your pig-headedness in your family.

Here's the licence. Hold it. There's a slight hitch.

I forbid the bands.

Jane, I'll give you onelastchance, it's now or never.

It's never. Very well.

Very well. I'll start for Australia tonight. Out of my way.

Pity the Pygmies.

When your daughter comes to her senses

she can write me at Goomburra, Queensland, Australia.

Care of Goobeli.

- So, we're bumpkins, eh? - Lets run that guy out of town.

That's a good idea but don't do it. It's against the law.

What a nasty nature. Good riddance.

She found out just in time.

Here, Dad.

Remember dear, we have our careers.

I'm so dishillusioned. It's disillusioned. Let's go home.

His ring! I must give him back his ring.

Richard.

This ring, may I keep it? Of course.

But won't it remind you of a bad time?

No. Of a good friend.

May I... May I kiss you, please?

Please.

Good bye, Shy eyes. Good bye, Richard.

No potato.

Where's Don? I must see him right away. Do you know where he is?

He's in the army now.

Have assembly sounded in ten minutes. Yes, sir.

Excuse me, sir.

Uh, I'm looking for a Mr. Webb.

Webb? Donald Winthrop Webb.

An officer? Not yet.

Your husband? No. Not yet.

Oh, I see.

Oh, there's Captain Powers. Suppose you ask him?

Thank you, sir.

Pardon me, Captain. I'm looking for a soldier.

Help yourself. His name is Webb.

He's tall, blonde and quite good-looking.

Sorry. Might ask that Sergeant.

Thank you, sir.

Pardon me, but I'm looking for Private Don Webb.

He's over there by those trucks. Thank you.

Hand me that wrench, will you, Peggy?

Peggy!

Thanks. Oh, thanks for coming. I couldn't get away.

Don, I'm afraid I did some things that must have hurt you a lot.

Oh, I only remember the things you did that didn't.

I felt dreadful when I heard you sold your car.

Oh, that cheesy old crate. Glad to get rid of it.

Don, it seems so strange and so wrong for anybody to be in it but you.

I didn't think I'd ever feel like working on it again.

You see, I... I made it for you.

Everything I ever do or make will be for you.

Oh, Jane. I'm sorry, I'm dumb.

How can I make you know that whenever you're near me, my heart...

it develops such a knock...

Whenever you speak to me or sing,

your voice, it warms me, lifts me and thrills me.

I want so much to have you with me.

For always.

Oh, but I don't know how to make love.

Oh, that's too bad.

Miss Jane Dana? Yes.

General's compliments. Will you come to the band stand now, please?

Private Webb, you have a job to finish.

I've almost finished it, sir. Just one more thing to do.

We're looking forward with a great deal of pleasure for your singing, miss.

Oh, thank you. Excuse me, just a moment.
