Of course. It's fun.

What's the use of having a little money...

...if once in a while you can't be reckless

with it on something you really want.

Where are you going?

After all, what is money?

It's a token. It's the power to buy ourselves

something that'll make us a little happier.

You shouldn't be a slave to it, though.

Say, what are you doing, anyway?

What on Earth is that?

- Do you like it?

Do you?

I bought it today.

Isn't it lovely?

Not bad.

I do think it does something for me,

don't you?

Yes, it makes you look rather ridiculous.

- Clem.

Maybe it's this gown.

Doesn't quite go with it.

Yes, but just look at the hat itself.

And if I've had my hair done...

...it'd look different.

- Yeah, it would be a difference.

Yes, it's very pretty.

Good. Then I think it was worth the money.

Much?

- Not for people with a car like ours.

You're pretty clever, aren't you?

- I hope you think so, darling.

Kay, sit down here a minute.

Let me look at you.

You're really quite beautiful, aren't you?

- If you think so, darling.

I think you're even more beautiful

than when I married you.

Could that be?

- I don't see why not.

I've had more reason to be.

Put that silly thing away

and get into bed, now.

Come on, don't stand looking at it all night.

In you go, there.

- It's been a lovely day all round, hasn't it?

Yes.

Clem, I think we're very lucky people.

Because we've got a new car

and a new hat?

Oh, much more than that.

Because of Vin and Toby and Judy...

...and each other.

- Yeah.

Clem.

Guess what.

I had a rose named after me today.

You left the light on

in the dressing room tonight.

Good night, Clem.

Good night, dear.

There he is.

- There he is.

Hello, Mother.

- Hello, Vin.

Vin, darling.

Hello, Dad.

- Fine to have you back.

Judy. Hello, Toby. Toby.

Vin. Vin's got a pipe.

What of it, young fellow?

- Heavens, you've grown.

Only about half an inch, Mother.

- I've grown a yard.

Have you, Toby?

Where's the mustache, son?

- You used to be so proud of it.

I don't remember being so very proud.

- I liked it.

Sorry. I found it took up

too much of my time.

Oh, it did?

- Keeping it trim and all that.

After all, one can't waste too much time

over the vanities of life.

I see. Well, come along, children.

We better get along.

Let's go.

Here we go.

Oh, good heavens.

So your interest

doesn't center on cars anymore, Vin?

Well, this last year at Oxford, I've rather

changed my outlook on things.

You don't say.

- Yes. I think I've grown a little.

Matured in my conception

as to what life's about.

Do you know what Oxford has taught me?

- What, dear?

That I know nothing about anything.
