- Come over here.

- How do you do, Mr Allen?

Number 41.

- Now let's get this straightened out...

- I have something to say to you.

I am so happy to be here.

Words cannot express how much I appreciate

your kind and noble act... noble act...

I studied English in Oslo.

..your noble act of being sponsor to me,

a homeless refugee.

I should always try to repay your kindness.

I thank you.

That was beautiful. You know...

- Now look, Miss...

- Karen Benson.

You didn't get your number mixed up,

did you?

Number mixed? Oh, no. Why?

You see, I was expecting kind of a...

Well, sort of a... About that size.

Oh, I see. But the refugees' numbers

are selected as the applications come in.

You never know who you'll get.

You got me. Don't you like me?

- It's not that...

- We're crazy about you.

We got the nursery all set, with dolls and

prunes and spinach... What am I saying?

Grab her bags, Nifty. Let's get out of here.

- Did you have a nice trip over from Sweden?

- Yes. From Norway.

Pardon me. I keep forgetting.

That's the Empire State Building.

You're very young

to have a wife and three children.

Where did you get that idea?

- Haven't you?

- Well, not yet.

Oh, then you're single.

Perhaps it'll be a burden

to have one more mouth to feed.

No, nothing to worry about.

- Oh, then you're rich?

- Well, I wouldn't say that, but...

I'm glad you are - with so many relatives

living in your house you need a lot of money.

Relatives? I haven't any relatives.

It won't be any trouble

to keep house just for you and me.

- Look...

- I'm a good housekeeper.

I can cook and sew

and darn socks and everything.

Would you take it easy...

(siren)

Air raid!

Air raid.

Oh.

- Is this my room?

- Yeah, but I'll have all this stuff taken out.

Oh, it's beautiful!

- Hello. How are you?

- How do you do, Mr Scott?

- Where's the little refugee?

- Well...

I am the little refugee.

- Well, you see how it is.

- I most certainly do.

And if you think I'll be a party to any such

arrangement as this, you're mistaken.

- What's the matter with her?

- Nothing. Make yourself at home.

- It's going to be very pleasant for us here.

- Only one of us. I'll live upstairs.

- Why?

- Well, I...

Goodbye!

(door slams)

Look, Karen, we have to think

about your future and make plans.

- I have plans made already.

- You have? What are they?

Find a man I like and get married.

Isn't that what every girl should do?

Well, sure, but what I meant was... Well,

what did you do in Sweden? I mean Norway.

Look for a man.

Only I didn't find anyone I liked.

Didn't you ever think of pounding

a typewriter or working in a beauty salon?

No. My father was a schoolmaster. I kept
