ANDY...

HI, HOWARD.

I-I-I'VE BEEN GOING OVER SOMETHING IN MY MIND

AND...WELL, YOU'RE ALWAYS A GOOD ONE

TO TALK THINGS OUT WITH.

UH-HUH, WHAT, UH, WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM?

WELL, IT'S ABOUT MILLIE.

YOU HAVEN'T BROKEN UP WITH HER, HAVE YOU?

OH, NO. NO, NO, ON THE...ON THE CONTRARY.

WE'VE, UH, WE'VE BEEN SEEING EACH OTHER

EVERY NIGHT FOR THE PAST MONTH NOW...

UH, THAT IS EXCEPT FOR THE NIGHTS SHE HAD TO WASH HER HAIR.

OH, SURE, SURE.

IT'S BEEN A WARM

AND WONDERFUL RELATIONSHIP.

WELL...

I MIGHT EVEN SAY

A THROBBING, PULSATING RELATIONSHIP

LIKE NONE I'VE EVER EXPERIENCED WITH ANY GIRL BEFORE.

WELL, THIS IS SOUNDING SERIOUS.

I'LL TELL YOU HOW SERIOUS.

I'M GOING TO ASK HER TO MARRY ME.

YOU'RE NOT.

I AM.

I KNOW WE'RE RIGHT FOR EACH OTHER.

WELL, THAT'S GREAT, HOWARD.

THAT'S JUST GREAT.

SHE'S A WONDERFUL GIRL.

ONE IN A MILLION.

AND YOU'VE GOT AN IDEA

THAT SHE FEELS THE SAME WAY ABOUT YOU?

YEAH.

YEAH.

YOU CAN SORT OF TELL ABOUT THOSE THINGS --

A LOOK, TOUCH OF A HAND,

FOND EMBRACE.

WELL, THERE SEEM TO BE ALL THE CLASSIC SYMPTOMS.

YEAH, THERE SEEM TO BE.

WELL, I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM?

WELL...

THE USUAL THING AT A TIME LIKE THIS, I GUESS.

SOUNDS KIND OF STUPID, I KNOW, BUT...

WELL, I-I-I'VE BEEN TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO PROPOSE.

WELL, GEE, HOWARD, I'M NO EXPERT AT THIS KIND OF THING,

BUT IT SEEMS TO ME THE THING TO DO WOULD BE GO

RIGHT OVER TO THE BAKERY AND ASK HER.

YOU MEAN DURING HER WORKING HOURS?

WELL, SURE. WHY NOT?

GOLLY, I DON'T KNOW.

A BAKERY DOESN'T SEEM TO BE THE PROPER SETTING

FOR THIS SORT OF THING.

WELL, LOOK AT IT THIS WAY, HOWARD.

YOU'RE ALL PRIMED, SEE,

AND I THINK THE THING TO DO WOULD BE TO GET IT OVER WITH

WHILE YOU GOT A FULL HEAD OF STEAM UP.

YEAH...

YEAH!

YEAH.

YEAH. YEAH.

YEAH, YOU MIGHT BE RIGHT.

MAYBE IMPETUOUSNESS WILL...

Both: CARRY THE DAY, YEAH.

YEAH, I'LL SEE YOU, ANDY.

I'LL SEE YA.

HEY, HOWARD... GOOD LUCK.

THANKS, ANDY.

HELLO, MILLIE.

OH, HOWARD.

I MAY HAVE THE EXACT CHANGE.

68, WAS IT?

RIGHT.

25...

50...

55...

60...

YOU DON'T MIND PENNIES, DO YOU?

OH, NO-NOT AT ALL.

61...

62...

63...

OH, I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH.

I'LL HAVE

TO GIVE YOU A BILL.

NO, NO.

I HAVE A NICKEL.

WELL, THANK YOU, BUT I FEEL...

NO, NO, NO, NO, THAT'S ALL RIGHT.

OH, WELL, THAT'S VERY NICE OF YOU.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU.

GOOD-BYE.

GOOD-BYE. BYE.

IT WAS NICE OF YOU TO DROP BY, HOWARD.

WELL, UH...

I-IT'S BEEN SO BUSY TODAY...

ONE CUSTOMER AFTER ANOTHER.

WELL, I, ON THE OTHER HAND,

DIDN'T ACCOMPLISH A SINGLE THING TODAY.

OH

WELL, I FOUND I HAD MY MIND

ON SOMETHING MUCH MORE IMPORTANT.

MILLIE...

HEY, HOWARD. HEY, MIL.

HOW'S THE SWEETEST THING IN THE BAKERY?

GOOBER...

YOU AND YOUR JOKES.

OH, I JUST MAKE THEM THINGS UP WHEN I'M WALKIN' ALONG.

SAY, LET ME HAVE ONE OF THEM CINNAMON BUNS.

SEVEN CENTS, AIN'T THEY?

RIGHT.

YOU KNOW, LESS THAN A YEAR AGO,

YOU USED TO GET 'EM FOR SIX.

YEAH.

UH, YOU DON'T HAVE TO PUT IT IN A BAG.

I'LL JUST EAT IT HERE.

I DON'T LIKE TO EAT ON THE STREET

UNLESS MAYBE IT'S A ICE CREAM CONE

OR APPLE OR PEANUTS.

GOOBER, I WAS DISCUSSING SOMETHING WITH MILLIE.

OH, I'M SORRY.

GO AHEAD.

I'LL WAIT.

WELL, IT'S RATHER PERSONAL.

IT IS?

WELL, NO MATTER WHAT Y'ALL SAY, I'LL KEEP IT A SECRET.

GOOBER, WOULD YOU MIND RUNNING ALONG?

WELL, BUDDY, I DON'T HAVE TO HAVE

A TON OF BRICKS TO FALL ON ME TO KNOW WHEN I'M NOT WANTED.

WELL, WHAT IS IT YOU WANTED TO TALK TO ME ABOUT, HOWARD?

MILLIE, WE'VE KNOWN EACH OTHER FOR OVER THREE MONTHS NOW.

NOW, THAT-TH-TH-THAT'S NOT A LONG TIME, I KNOW,

BUT IT'S...WELL, IT'S LONG ENOUGH

FOR SO PEOPLE TO GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER REAL WELL.

YES, HOWARD?

YOU PROBABLY KNOW WHAT I'M LEADING UP TO,

AND...I'M NOT REALLY SURE I'M GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU

BUT...MILLIE, I'D LIKE TO ASK IF YOU'D...

YES?

I'D LIKE TO ASK IF YOU...

HI, MILLIE.

AUNT BEE WANTS A CHOCOLATE LAYER CAKE.

COULD YOU COME BACK LATER, OPE?

UNH-UNH.

SHE TOLD ME TO BRING IT RIGHT AWAY.

HOW MUCH IS THAT ONE?

UM, A DOLLAR AND A QUARTER, OPIE.

A DOLLAR AND A QUARTER.

WELL, I JUST HAVE A DOLLAR.

IS IT DENTED OR ANYTHING

SO YOU COULD SELL IT FOR 25 CENTS LESS?

YES.

I-IT'S DENTED...

UH, RIGHT THERE.

I-IT'LL JUST BE A DOLLAR, OPIE.

THANKS.

WELL?

DON'T I GET A BOX?

IT'LL KEEP BETTER IN THE AIR, OPE.

BUT MR. SPRAGUE...

YOUR AUNT BEE'S WAITING FOR YOU.

WE'LL SEE YOU LATER.

BYE.

MILLIE, BEFORE WE GET INVOLVED

IN ANOTHER BAKERY TRANSACTION,

I-I...I WANT TO ASK YOU TO BE MY WIFE.

OH, HOWARD.

WELL?

IT'S WHAT I'VE BEEN HOPING FOR.

NOW FOR THE REALLY BIG NEWS.

WE'RE GOING TO GET MARRIED NEXT WEEKEND.

NEXT WEEKEND?

SAY, YOU DON'T BELIEVE IN LONG ENGAGEMENTS, DO YOU?

WHY WAIT?

OH, WHERE -- WHERE -- WHERE'S THE WEDDING GONNA BE?

THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS WE WANTED TO TALK TO YOU TWO ABOUT.

I TALKED TO MY MOTHER AND FATHER

ON THE PHONE FOR TWO HOURS LAST NIGHT.

UH, THEY LIVE IN WHEELING, YOU KNOW.

OH, YES, I REMEMBER.

WELL, THEY'D LIKE US TO BE MARRIED UP THERE --

YOU KNOW, RELATIVES AND EVERYTHING.

WELL, ANYWAY, WE'RE GONNA TAKE THE TRAIN FRIDAY NIGHT,

AND SINCE YOU TWO ARE OUR BEST FRIENDS,

WELL, WE'D KIND OF LIKE YOU TO GO ALONG

AND ACT AS BEST MAN AN-AN-AND MAID OF HONOR,

AND, WELL, SORT OF CHAPERONES, TOO.

YOU MEAN TO WHEELING?

THAT'S RIGHT.

OH, IT'S ALL ON ME, OF COURSE,

AN-AND IT'S A WEEKEND.

HOW ABOUT IT?

WELL, HOWARD, I'D BE HONORED.

OH, GOOD.

OH, IT'LL BE REAL EXCITING.

I KNOW THE FAMILY WILL BE AT THE STATION TO MEET US.

I REALLY BEEN KIDDIN' HOWARD ABOUT GETTING MARRIED.

YOU KNOW WHAT?

I TOLD HIM THIS BEFORE.

I TOLD HIM I WAS GONNA TIE TIN CANS TO THE END OF THE TRAIN

WHEN IT LEAVES.

HE LAUGHED.

I EXPECT.

I WONDER HOW THAT THING'S GONNA WORK OUT.

BETWEEN HOWARD AND MILLIE?

JUST FINE.

WELL, THERE'S THE DIFFERENCE.

YOU KNOW, HE'S KIND OF ON THE CONSERVATIVE SIDE,

AND SHE'S SUCH A LIVELY LITTLE THING.

THAT JUST PROVES THAT OPPOSITES ATTRACT.

ATTRACT WHAT?

EACH OTHER.

OH.

WELL...

WHEN I GET MARRIED, I WANT TO MARRY

EXACTLY THE SAME KIND OF WOMAN I AM.

THAT AIN'T GONNA BE EASY TO FIND, YOU KNOW.

NO.

NO, GOOB, IT WON'T.

SO, YOU'RE ALL TAKING THE TRAIN

RIGHT TO WHEELING.

RIGHT TO WHEELING.

THAT'S A LOT OF FUN, RIDING A TRAIN.

CLICKETY-CLICK!

CLICKETY-CLICK!

OKAY.

WELL, HERE WE ARE, SNUG AS A BUG IN A RUG.

PLENTY OF ROOM AND EVERYTHING.

LET'S SEE NOW.

WHAT'D I GIVE THAT FELLA, 50 CENTS?

WAS THAT WHAT IT WAS?

YEAH, 50 CENTS.

UH-HUH.

I ALWAYS LIKE TO KEEP TRACK

OF JUST WHERE MY MONEY GOES.

THAT'S A GOOD IDEA.

I FIND THAT PROPER ORGANIZATION OF FINANCES

CAN BE A SAVING IN THE LONG RUN.

THAT WAY, YOUR MONEY JUST DOESN'T DISAPPEAR.

NO. NO, THAT'S TRUE, TOO.

YEP.

YOU GIRLS READY TO GO DOWN TO THE DINER YET?

Millie: GIVE US ANOTHER FIVE MINUTES, WILL YOU, DEAR?

OKAY, HONEY.

YOU SEE THAT I'M DANCING TO YOUR TUNE ALREADY.

WELL, YOU KNOW...

MAYBE WE'LL GO ON DOWN AND GET A TABLE.

Millie: OKAY.

YOU KNOW, WITH MILLIE AND I TAKING

THIS TRAIN TRIP TOGETHER,

IT'S ALMOST LIKE BEING MARRIED ALREADY.

WELL, I GUESS SO... LIKE IT'S ALREADY STARTED, HUH?

WELL, WHAT DO YOU SAY WE GO ON DOWN

AND PUT ON THE OLD FEEDBAG, HUH?

LEAD THE WAY.

YEAH.

NOW, LISTEN, HOWARD

I THINK THAT -- THAT I OUGHT TO TAKE CARE

OF HELEN'S AND MY PART...

UH-UH...YOUR MONEY'S NO GOOD HERE, SOLDIER.

I'LL TAKE CARE OF EVERYTHING.

WELL, THAT'S NICE OF YOU, HOWARD...

UH-UH...FORGET IT.

WELL...

GOSH, YOU KNOW, IT'S...A LONG TIME

SINCE I'VE BEEN IN ONE OF THESE DINING CARS.

YEAH, ME, TOO.

THINGS HAVE CHANGED A LITTLE.

I MEAN THE PRICES.

YEAH, WELL, LIKE EVERYTHING.

HEY, YOU KNOW WHAT I MIGHT HAVE?

THE SPECIAL...FISH CAKES.

MIGHT JUST HIT THE SPOT.

YOU KNOW SOMETHING, ANDY?

I HAD MY EYE ON THAT BABY, TOO.

DID YOU REALLY?

YEAH.

YOU KNOW WHAT I LIKE ABOUT FISH IS IT COMBINES

A HIGH NUTRITIONAL VALUE WITH FLAVOR AND A MODEST PRICE.

YOU CAN'T ASK MUCH MORE OF A FISH THAN THAT, CAN YOU?

ANYTHING TO START WITH?

OH, I DON'T KNOW.

MAYBE A ROLL.

WELL, WE CERTAINLY HAVE THE SAME TASTES.

I'M A ROLL MAN MYSELF.

GOOD.

HERE WE ARE.

OH. OH.

HI.

NOW, WE WEREN'T TOO LONG, WERE WE?

WELL, IT'S ALWAYS TOO LONG WHEN I'M AWAY FROM MILLIE.

OH, HOWARD, YOU'RE SWEET.

WE'VE ALREADY DECIDED.

YES, WE'RE HAVING THE SPECIAL.

FISH CAKES.

OH, WELL, I THINK I'LL HAVE FISH CAKES, TOO.

WE FIGURED WE'D START OFF WITH A ROLL.

YES, FINE, FINE.

HOW ABOUT YOU, DEAR?

OH, IT ALL SOUNDS SO DULL.

OH, LET'S SEE.

UM, I'LL HAVE A SHRIMP COCKTAIL

AND PORTERHOUSE STEAK WITH AU GRATIN POTATOES

AND CELERY HEARTS

AND PROBABLY FUDGE LAYER CAKE.

I'LL SEE.

IS ANYTHING WRONG, DEAR?

HAVE YOU TWO DECIDED ABOUT A HONEYMOON YET?

I KNOW I HAVEN'T. EVERYTHING'S HAPPENED SO FAST.

DO YOU HAVE ANY THOUGHTS, HOWARD?

WELL, AS A MATTER OF FACT, I DO.

SUBJECT, OF COURSE, TO YOUR APPROVAL, DEAR.

WELL, LET'S HEAR IT, HOWARD.

OKAY, LET'S RUN IT UP THE FLAGPOLE

AND SEE HOW IT SOUNDS.

OH, I KNOW IT'S GOING TO BE WONDERFUL.

NOW, AFTER THE RECEPTION IN WHEELING,

WE'LL CATCH THE 4:45 FOR MORGANTOWN

ARRIVING AT 6:08

JUST IN TIME FOR A WASHUP AND LEISURELY DINNER

AND THEN ON OUT TO THEIR ANNUAL KING ARTHUR PAGEANT.

WE'RE LUCKY IN HITTING THE RIGHT WEEK FOR THAT.

WELL, THAT SOUNDS VERY INTERESTING.

SECOND DAY, CHECK OUT OF THE MORGANTOWN HOTEL

AT 6:45 AM.

6:45 AM?

YES. THAT'S THE ONLY TRAIN OUT.

AND IF WE WANT TO GET TO THE BLUE ROCK CAVERNS BY NOON...

BLUE ROCK CAVERNS?

YES. IT'S ONE OF THE MOST AWE-INSPIRING SERIES

OF LIMESTONE CAVES IN THIS PART OF THE COUNTRY.

I SAW THEM AS A CHILD

AND, WELL, HONEY, IT'S JUST SOMETHING

I WANT TO SHARE WITH YOU.

AND AFTER A LEISURELY DINNER

WE'LL TAKE THE 8:03...

OH, HOWARD, I DON'T KNOW.

DOESN'T ALL OF THIS APPEAL TO YOU?

OH, YES, IT SOUNDS FINE.

BUT...WELL, HOW DOES IT SOUND TO YOU?

UH...

WELL, I'D SAY THAT ANYTHING THAT APPEALS

TO THE BOTH OF YOU, WELL, THAT WOULD BE...

THAT'S MY FEELING EXACTLY.

HOWARD, CAN'T WE JUST DO THINGS ON THE SPUR OF THE MOMENT?

I HATE SCHEDULES.

WHAT DID YOU HAVE IN MIND?

I DON'T KNOW.

COULDN'T WE JUST UP AND FLY TO LAS VEGAS?

Howard: LAS VEGAS?!

YOU MEAN, FLY CLEAR ACROSS THE COUNTRY AND GAMBLE?

WITH MONEY?

YEAH.

WHY NOT? LIVE IT UP.

WELL, I'M CERTAINLY NOT OPPOSED TO LIVING IT UP.

APPARENTLY, YOU'VE NEVER HEARD

OF THE KING ARTHUR PAGEANT.

OH, GEE, HOWARD!

HOW GREAT CAN IT BE?

AND WHO NEEDS LEISURELY MEALS AND EVERYTHING?

WELL, GOLLY, MILLIE,

AREN'T WE MAKING A LITTLE TOO MUCH OF THIS?

I'M SORRY, HOWARD.

HEY, HELEN, WHY DON'T WE GO TO THE CLUB CAR

AND STRETCH OUR LEGS?

YOU KNOW, LIKE WE SAID WE WERE?

OH, YES, LET'S.

WE'LL SEE YOU.

WE'LL TALK ABOUT THE HONEYMOON TOMORROW.

RIGHT.

HOWARD?

YES, DEAR?

IF I ASKED YOU TO DO SOMETHING FOR ME

WOULD YOU?

WELL, IF IT WOULD MAKE YOU HAPPY, MILLIE.

I KNOW YOU'LL THINK IT'S REAL SILLY.

OH, NOTHING YOU COULD ASK ME TO DO WOULD BE SILLY.

SHAVE OFF YOUR MUSTACHE.

I KNEW YOU WOULD THINK IT WAS SILLY.

WELL, IT'S NOT THAT IT'S SILLY.

IT'S JUST UNREASONABLE.

I MEAN, IT'S COMPLETELY UNREASONABLE.

WELL, I THOUGHT YOU WERE READY

TO DO ANYTHING FOR ME.

BUT I'VE HAD THIS MUSTACHE FOR 13 YEARS.

MY FATHER HAD A MUSTACHE, AND HIS FATHER HAD ONE,

AND HIS FATHER BEFORE HIM.

IT'S A SPRAGUE TRADITION.

SHAVE OFF MY MUSTACHE?!

WELL, IT'S JUST THAT WHEN WE KISS, IT'S...

WELL, I'D BE WILLING TO TRIM IT BACK A LITTLE

OR MAYBE GIVE IT A BIT OF AN UPSWEEP.

THAT WON'T HELP.

SHAVE IT OFF?

OH, NO, MILLIE.

NO, NO.

NO. DEFINITELY, NO.

I THINK YOU COULD GIVE UP SOME THINGS.

WELL, I WAS JUST ABOUT TO SAY

THE SAME THING ABOUT YOU.

I...I THINK WE'RE BOTH A LITTLE TIRED.

YEAH.

I GUESS MAYBE WE ARE.

GOOD NIGHT, HOWARD.

GOOD NIGHT.

WELL, GOOD NIGHT.

I KNOW.

GOOD NIGHT.

...SIX, SEVEN, EIGHT, NINE, TEN.

HMM.

YOU KNOW, IF YOU DON'T HAVE

THE PROPER AMOUNT OF TENSION

YOU MIGHT AS WELL

JUST NOT USE SHOE TREES AT ALL.

YEAH. I GUESS THAT'S RIGHT.

I THOUGHT YOU'D BE ASLEEP BY NOW.

ANDY, LET ME ASK YOU...

WHAT IMPORTANCE DO YOU ATTACH TO A MAN AND HIS MUSTACHE?

YOU WANT TO JUST LET ME HAVE THAT ONE MORE TIME?

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF MY MUSTACHE?

WELL, I'LL TELL YOU THE TRUTH, HOWARD.

I HADN'T GIVEN IT TOO MUCH THOUGHT.

MILLIE WANTS ME TO SHAVE IT OFF,

AND I'VE ALWAYS FELT

IT GAVE ME AN AIR OF DISTINCTION.

WELL, YEAH.

YOU MIGHT SAY THAT.

WHEN I FIRST GREW IT,

PEOPLE SAID I LOOKED LIKE A YOUNG TOM DEWEY.

TO ME, IT MAKES HIM LOOK JUST LIKE

ONE OF THOSE KEYSTONE COPS.

I GUESS THINGS LIKE THAT

CAN BE VERY IMPORTANT TO A MAN.

HOW CAN ANYTHING SO FUZZY AND BRISTLY BE IMPORTANT?

AND OTHERS HAVE COMMENTED

ON A MARKED RESEMBLANCE TO TEDDY ROOSEVELT.

IT'S LIKE KISSING A HAIRBRUSH.

SHE JUST SEEMS SO STUBBORN

ABOUT CERTAIN THINGS.

WELL, HE JUST SEEMS SO STUBBORN ABOUT CERTAIN THINGS.

I ALWAYS FEEL BETTER AFTER BREAKFAST.

I LIKE TO EAT

BUT I DON'T LIKE TO FEEL STUFFED.

THAT BREAKFAST SPECIAL WAS JUST RIGHT.

I BELIEVE I'LL GO IN AND SAY HELLO TO MILLIE.

I HAD NO IDEA

SHE LIKED TO EAT BREAKFAST ALONE.

HOWARD, YOU KNOW HOW IT IS -- MORNING COFFEE AND EVERYTHING.

SOME PEOPLE ARE JUST THAT WAY.

WELL, I'LL JUST POP IN AND BRIGHTEN HER DAY.

I JUST SAW THE WAITER TAKE HER BREAKFAST IN.

WHY DON'T YOU WAIT A WHILE?

OH, NO REASON NOT TO SPREAD A LITTLE SUNSHINE

WHERE IT'S NEEDED, HUH?

HI, HONEY.

GOOD MORNING, HOWARD.

I'M JUST HAVING MY COFFEE.

SO I SEE.

I JUST THOUGHT I'D COME IN AND SHARE THIS MOMENT WITH YOU

LIKE WE'LL BE DOING EVERY MORNING FROM NOW ON.

RIGHT, HONEY?

MM.

UH, MILLIE, I'VE BEEN THINKING

ABOUT MAKING SOME CHANGES IN OUR HONEYMOON SCHEDULE...

OH, HOWARD, LET'S TALK ABOUT IT LATER, PLEASE?

WELL, NOW, WHO WAS IT THAT SAID

"THERE'S NO TIME LIKE THE PRESENT"?

I DON'T KNOW WHO SAID IT, HOWARD.

WELL, IT DOESN'T REALLY MATTER.

MILLIE, HAVE YOU EVER BEEN TO THE OLD SMOKIES?

IT'S A RANGE OF...

HOWARD, PLEASE?!

WE DON'T SEEM TO BE ABLE

TO DISCUSS ANYTHING CALMLY, DO WE?

NO, AND THAT'S WHAT WORRIES ME.

WELL, I'VE CERTAINLY TRIED TO BE MORE THAN CONSIDERATE.

WELL, HOWARD, SO HAVE I.

WHAT'S THE ANSWER?

I DON'T KNOW.

I DON'T KNOW.

AND NOW WE'RE GOING TO BE IN WHEELING

IN A HALF AN HOUR.

I HAVE TO GET DRESSED, PUT MY FACE ON.

WE'D BETTER DISCUSS IT BEFORE WE GET THERE.

YES, WE'D BETTER.

WHEELING STATION.

WHEELING NEXT.

WHEELING!

( crossing bell fades in distance )

MILLIE, MILLIE, LOOK.

NOW, WE'VE GOT TO DECIDE.

YOUR FOLKS ARE GOING TO BE WAITING AT THE STATION.

IS THING RIGHT FOR US OR ISN'T IT?

I DON'T KNOW, HOWARD.

I DON'T KNOW.

I'M SURE IT'LL ALL WORK OUT.

JUST A MATTER OF AN UNDERSTANDING.

THERE THEY ARE!

THERE THEY ARE!

MILLIE! MILLIE!

MILLIE! MILLIE!

HI.

HI.

HI.

HE'S GOT A MUSTACHE.

WHY DON'T YOU MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS?

MILLIE!

MA.

MOTHER, THIS IS HOWARD.

HELLO, MOTHER.

WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK.

Conductor: ALL ABOARD!

OH, UH, I'M ANDY TAYLOR, AND THIS IS HELEN CRUMP.

UH, I'M SUPPOSED TO BE

THE BEST MAN, AND MISS CRUMP'S GOING

TO BE THE MAID OF HONOR.

WHAT ARE THEY TALKING ABOUT?

IT'S JUST THAT I DON'T KNOW

IF WE'RE RIGHT FOR EACH OTHER.

WELL, MILLIE, I'M JUST AS WORRIED

ABOUT THAT AS YOU ARE.

WELL, I'LL TELL YOU ONE THING.

YOU'VE GOT A NICE CLIMATE UP HERE.

THANK YOU.

YOU SURE YOU HAVE NO IDEA

WHAT THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT?

SHE HARDLY SAID HELLO.

WHAT WOULD YOU SAY

THAT YOUR AVERAGE RAINFALL WOULD BE

UP HERE IN WHEELING?

FOLKS, I'VE GOT A RATHER IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT TO MAKE.

OH?

MILLIE AND I HAVE FINALLY SOLVED

A RATHER SERIOUS PERSONAL CONFLICT,

HAVEN'T WE, DEAR?

THAT'S RIGHT, HOWARD.

SEE, I'VE LEARNED THAT

I'VE BECOME VERY SET IN MY WAYS.

OH, NO MORE THAN I HAVE.

Howard: AND I HAVE TO ADMIT

THAT I'VE BEEN BEHAVING SELFISHLY.

I THINK I'VE BEEN THE SELFISH ONE.

WELL, IT DOESN'T REALLY MATTER, DEAR,

BECAUSE I THINK MILLIE AND I HAVE FOUND

THE RIGHT PATH TO HAPPINESS AND A LONG-LASTING RELATIONSHIP.

FOLKS, WE'RE CALLING OFF THE WEDDING.

CONGRATULATIONS, I'M SURE YOU'LL BOTH BE VERY HAPPY.

WELL, I'D SAY EVERYTHING'S WORKED OUT FOR THE BEST,

WOULDN'T YOU?

I GUESS SO.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M GONNA DO

WITH THAT BOX OF RICE I GOT IN MY SUITCASE.

WELL, YOU CAN ALWAYS COOK IT.

YOU KNOW, NOW THAT MILLIE'S BROUGHT THE WHOLE THING UP,

I'M KIND OF TOYING WITH THE IDEA

OF SHAVING OFF MY MOUSTACHE.

THE HECK WITH TRADITION, HUH?

I THINK I LIKE YOU BETTER WITH IT ON.

I'M KIND OF GETTING USED TO IT.

YOU KNOW, YOU TWO ARE ADJUSTING PRETTY WELL

TO YOUR CHANGE IN PLANS.

YOU KNOW, I'D SAY

THAT ANY COUPLE CONTEMPLATING MARRIAGE

OUGHT TO TAKE AT LEAST ONE TRAIN RIDE TOGETHER.

IT'S THE MOST EFFECTIVE WAY TO GET TO KNOW ONE ANOTHER.

YOU MAY HAVE SOMETHING THERE, HOWARD.

HEY, BY THE WAY, DINNER'S ON ME.

NOW, ANDY, REMEMBER...

HMM.

ANYTHING YOU SAY, SOLDIER.
