Yeah, but I still don't understand
why you couldn't spend one day with us.
Well, the fact is, Dad,
I met this girl.
You what? You met a girl?
Why didn't you say so?
Mary, he says he met a girl.
Why, that's good news.
- She live up there in San Francisco?
- She lives up here. I'm at her house.
He says he's at her house now,
the girl's house.
Well, that's different, son.
Where'd you meet her? Hawaii?
Yes, in Hawaii,
and I wanted to meet her folks, see?
That sounds good, son.
I mean, serious.
Yes, it's serious.
Well, this is quite a surprise.
Yeah, she's surprising
in a lot of ways, Dad.
Your mother says,
"Is she pretty? '
- Yes, she's very pretty.
- She's pretty. What?
Your mother says,
"How old is she, son?"
Mary, what the hell difference
does that make?
Well, she's only 23, Dad.
Twenty-three. Well, that's good.
You want my opinion?
You're 37.
That's just the right difference.
Women age faster than men,
you know what I mean?
- You reckon to marry the girl, son?
- Well, we've been talking about it.
But...
Dad, there's one or two problems,
you see?
That I'll write to you about...
on the plane to New York tonight,
all right?
He's so calm...
and sure of everything.
He doesn't have
any tensions in him.
He knows what he believes...
and what he thinks is right
and why and where he's going.
Oh, Mom, there's one thing
I must tell you.
He was married before,
and he had a son.
It was so tragic.
Both his wife and his son were killed
in a train accident...
And John...
I haven't even told you
his name.
Mom, it's John Wade Prentice.
Isn't that a lovely name?
John Wade...
Joanna Prentice...
I'll be.
But Mom...
there's something else
that I must tell you...
that John's been concerned about,
very deeply concerned.
He's been worrying for the past week
whether you and Dad would be upset if...
Well, it's about time.
I was wondering where you'd been.
Mom...
this is John.
Doctor Prentice...
I'm so pleased to meet you.
I'm pleased to meet you,
Mrs. Drayton.
I take it Joanna's already busted out
with the big news.
Well, she has told me a good deal
and all very quickly too.
Well, she's only known me
for ten days...
so she can't tell you
when I'm blushing.
for us.
Mrs. Drayton,
I'm medically qualified...
so I hope you wouldn't
think it presumptuous if I say...
you ought to sit down
before you fall down.
because he's a Negro.
Well...
I don't think
I'm going to faint.
But I'll sit down anyway.
Can't we all sit down?
Well...
I suppose it would be all right
if I said, "My goodness," wouldn't it?
