- Oh, yes, I have.

Karen, you must be awfully tired. It's a long,

tough trip from Sweden... I mean Norway.

- Oh, I'm not tired at all.

- I won't let him send you to bed.

She doesn't want to miss

all this pretty music. Do you, Karen?

Come on, Ted, that's our cue.

When I come back, we'll really get acquainted.

Ted.

Does she know how to cook?

(knock at door)

Here you are, honey. From me to you.

Thanks, they're lovely.

Won't you come in?

How do you like America by now?

Nice town, isn't it?

(burst of rapid Norwegian)

- What happened?

- Could you get me that vase?

Why didn't you say so?

- Beautiful, ain't they?

- Have you seen Ted? Where is he?

He has to pack.

The band's pulling out of here tonight.

I'm gonna take you

to meet my Aunt Rosie.

Ted is packing? Where are we going?

You're going to Weehawken

to live with my Aunt Rosie.

You'll love it. She's the sweetest woman.

I'm not going with Ted?

What would you do in Sun Valley

where the snow's up to your neck?

Snow? Is it like that?

Every day, except when there's a blizzard.

If it wasn't my duty, I wouldn't go.

- Ted doesn't like snow either, does he?

- Are you kiddin'? He has Eskimo blood.

He shoots around on those turned-up

bed slats like they were roller skates.

And Miss Dawn, she likes to ski too?

Her? You couldn't get her

near an electric icebox.

Then Ted would like me along. I'm good at

skiing and skating, and he'll want company.

Honey, this is not a vacation, this is work.

Ted can't have you around with the band.

He told me to tell you that...

Oh...

- Why did he have to wish this on me?

- Why did he?

Because he can't meet an issue face to face.

You gotta look it right in the eye, right in the...

If it was up to me, you'd be on that train.

- Then why don't you take me?

- I would, but...

You're the manager, aren't you?

Making the decision is up to you.

- Yeah, but...

- You are a strong man.

If you decide to do anything,

you do it, don't you?

- Usually, sure.

- If you really want to take me...

Honey, the moment I saw you

with those helpless refugees,

I said to myself there's nothing

you could ask that I wouldn't do.

- What time does the train leave?

- 11:
35.

But wait... It's out.

It can't be done.

Ted wouldn't stand for it. I know Ted.

That's too heavy. Take this one.

We gotta be strong. We gotta face

the situation, look it right in the eye.

- I am.

- Yeah, that's what I said...

Karen, will you be reasonable?

Ted gets mad at the littlest...

I wanna tell you about my Aunt Rosie.

I'll take you to meet her when you and I come

back from Sun Valley. What am I saying?

Hello, Mr Scott.

Miss Dawn, how do you do?

Mr Corey. Welcome to Sun Valley.
