Don't worry, if I'm stuck with a rich girl

I'll grit my teeth and make the best of it.

- But you're going to make millions yourself.

- But, no, I'm not.

- Yes, you are.

- No.

- Yes.

- No, not Mr. Case's little boy.

I'm a plain man of the people.

I began life with these two bare hands.

So did the gentleman over the fireplace.

Take heart from Grandfather.

- Don't tell me you're one of those Setons?

- Yes, Johnny. Forgive us, but we are.

This is too much.

What man has done, man can do,

or words to that effect.

Now see here, if you think I'm going to be

any young wizard of finance, you're...

Cheer up, it's not at all that serious.

If you don't think breaking the news

of this engagement to Father is serious...

- You said you were going to church?

- I am. That's why I'm clever.

Because Father's in church

and in church Father can't talk.

- Are you that afraid of him?

- No. But this is the best way.

You know, Father is a wonderful man,

but he has to be handled just right.

You leave that to me.

Your job is to drop me off at church

and be back before 1:00 for lunch...

...and don't be late.

His first impression of you

is terribly important.

What if I crawled in on my hands

and knees? Would he like that?

Now don't jest, boy.

Now, come on, darling.

Let's not let the fun get out of it.

- Is it likely to?

- No, but...

Say it.

Well, what's the idea of spilling it

so quickly?

Well, I have to tell Father.

He'd never forgive me.

Yeah, but it could be

such a swell guilty secret for a while.

I can't see what particular fun

a secret would be.

- Can't you, dear?

- No.

All right.

- It's getting pretty complicated, isn't it?

- You didn't think it'd be simple, did you?

- I suppose I just didn't think.

- You couldn't have.

Johnny, what's the matter with you?

I just hate the thought of sitting down

with another man...

...and being practical about you.

Angel.

Look, darling, it's got to be done though.

- I love you, Julia.

- I love you, Johnny.

- That's the main thing, isn't it?

- Darling, that's everything.

- Kiss?

- With pleasure.

Why, Julia, for shame.

Is this the way to spend Sunday morning?

Who's your partner, anyone I know?

Johnny, my sister, Linda.

This is Johnny Case.

- How do you do?

- Well, thanks, and you?

- Couldn't be better.

- Good.

- He's Johnny Case. I'll marry him.

- That makes it all right then.

In about one month I'll marry him, Linda.

What?

Stand out here in the light, will you, Case?

- I've never seen him before.

- Neither had I until 10 days ago at Placid.

But how did you get together?

Tell me everything.

- I was...

- Well, I...

Go ahead.

I was walking along the road
