- Thank you.

You don't have to break

the sound barrier, you hot-rodder.

Alma?

Well, I heard from the phone company.

I can't get a call through,

and they send me this.

"Your complaint

is entirely unwarranted.

According to our inspector,

Miss Oickenson."

They sent a woman.

It's like sending a marshmallow

to put out a bonfire.

Read it yourself.

You know

I never get into focus until 10 a.m.

"Our inspector found

Mr. Allen to be very cooperative."

I'll bet he was.

Hello?

- Miss Morrow? My name is Brad Allen.

Yes? - The phone company

gave me a code number for our line.

It's 793.

If you have any future complaints,

I suggest you call me personally.

If I hadn't complained,

the inspector wouldn't have found out

how friendly you are. - Miss Morrow,

why do

my personal affairs interest you?

It's not interest,

Mr. Allen. It's revolt.

I don't go around

complaining about your affairs.

I have none to complain about.

- lt figures.

What do you mean? - It's obvious

you live alone and don't like it.

I like living alone.

Oon't take your bedroom problems

out on me.

I have no bedroom problems.

There's nothing there that bothers me.

Too bad.

Let's try to be adult about this,

work out some schedule

where I can make my business calls

and you can make your ...

whatever you call them.

From the hour to the half-hour,

the phone is yours. Afterwards mine.

If someone gets

a call during the other's time,

he or she will terminate

the call as quickly as possible.

In emergencies,

each must be a little tolerant.

How does it sound?

- Like a UN report.

You disagree?

- No, it might work.

I hope so. We have to share

this line for at least another month.

We have to try

living with one another.

Well?

I was waiting

for an off-color remark from you.

Is that all you have on your mind?

Never mind my mind.

You keep to your half-hour, I to mine.

He makes pretty good sense.

Were you listening in again?

- Yes.

Have you no shame?

- No, he's improved many a day for me.

What made such good sense?

- Worse than a woman living alone

is one saying she likes it.

- I do like it.

I have a good job, a lovely apartment,

I go out with nice men,

to the theater, the best restaurants.

What am I missing?

When you have to ask, believe me,

you're missing it.

What's a girl to do? Ask the first man

she meets to come home with her?

No, not that.

lt don't work.

Bedroom problems.

Bedroom problems?

Bedroom problems.

Over here, please.

Just set it down here.

No, the other way.

Thank you.

How's it look?

You look beautiful.

- Jonathon, now really,

do you like it or ...

- Whatever you like, I like.

Jan, why won't you marry me?
