delicate... porcelain...

little Chinese men. We could

have them do the laundry.

Oh, Josh. You'll like it

when it's finished. I hope so.

It's wonderful having you back.

Been a good boy?

Well, I got "E"

for effort.

"E" for...

thought about you a lot.

Missed you...

dreadfully.

Yes. You got a

pretty outfit on.

All for you, Josh.

After dinner,

we'll drive out to the country.

The nights have been divine;

the biggest, yellowest moon

you ever saw.

Josh...

Mm, you sailors! Well...

Hi, Ace.

Hi, Josh.

What's been doing'

on the firing line?

You better stay

right where you are.

The Cherry family's looking'

for the whites of your eyes.

They won't find

any whites in my eyes.

I've been washing them out

with Mercurochrome.

I brought you groceries and

the paper. Take the pole.

Say, that's fine.

What? No caviar?

No caviar.

What are you doing'

with that monkey suit on?

Big doings on the yacht

tonight. Big doings?

What kind of doings? They're

announcing my engagement to Gloria.

Yeah, well that's...

Your engagement?

Yeah.

Why you double-crossing',

moonstruck pushover.

Gloria hits you with billing' and

cooing'... and bang, you're a dead pigeon!

I wouldn't talk, with that Cherry

family parading up and down.

Don't worry about me.

I'm the Rock of Gibraltar.

How'd they hook you? They

dangled a little thing...

called family tradition

in front of me.

Seems the world can't get along

without a long line of Mallons.

What happens when

you get to 100? Bingo?

Hey, I got a strike.

Give me that pole.

I've been waiting two years.

Run the boat!

Pull away, Wally.

Don't scratch my boat. This

is where the home guard...

Preserve your

strength.

Stay with it.

Give it a little slack.

A little slack? He's got me

peeled down to the nub now.

Watch it. Hold it! I think we've

got one of the Cherry brothers.

Give them plenty of slack.

Just let it out.

He must go

200 pounds.

He goes 400

if he goes an ounce.

He isnt

any sardine.

There they are.

I'd like to get a picture.

Would you mind

standing up?

I'd like a picture of

Mr. Wycott and your family.

Would you put your hand on Mr.

Wycott's shoulder? Of course.

That's fine. And gentlemen,

try to look a little happy;

you know, prospective

fathers-in-law and all that.

Miss Wycott, will you move

closer to your brother?

Gordon, please.

If you'd care

to wait a few days,

she has a fianc coming. Gordon!

That's all right. He'll be

here directly. That's fine.

Smile... pretty.

That's it. Thank you.

Whoa, he's a big one.

Hold it.

He's more tired than we

are. What do you mean, "we"?

Get it.

I think I've

got them now.

See if I can

hoist him in.

Get that gaff.
