I wonder if she resented

my tearing her skirt.

Well, I wouldn't be at all surprised.

That's the usual reaction.

- What did you do that for?

- She couldn't move.

Sounds very unsporting of you.

Guy, really.

Well, you don't understand.

You see, she... It was an accident.

- It usually is. What's her name?

- I don't know.

- Where does she live?

- I don't know.

My, what an interesting romance.

I was in hopes that she'd send some note

with this raincoat, along with her address.

Well, without having the prophetic powers

of a seventh son...

...I would hazard that she doesn't want

to see you anymore.

Yes. Well...

...I'm going to rush off

to the office.

- What are you going to do, Guy?

- I'm going to start looking for her.

I'll find that girl, Egbert,

if it takes me from now on.

Well, it shouldn't be difficult. After all,

there are only 3 million women in London.

It's just like looking for a needle

In a hay stack

Searching for a moonbeam in the blue

Still, I've gotta find you

It's just like looking for a raindrop

In the ocean

Searching for a dewdrop in the dew

Still, I've got to find you

I'll roam the town

In hopes that we'll meet

Look at each face

I pass on the street

For sometimes I hear

The beat of your feet

But it's just imagination

Oh, it's like looking for a needle

In a haystack

Still, I'll follow every little clue

'Cause I've got to find you

It's just like looking for a needle

In a haystack

Searching for a moonbeam in the blue

Still, I've got to find you

It's just like looking for a raindrop

In the ocean

Searching for a dewdrop in the dew

Still, I've gotta find you

I'll roam the town

In hopes that we'll meet

Look at each face

I pass on the street

Sometimes I hear

The beat of your feet

But it's just imagination

Though it's like looking for a needle

In a haystack

Still, I'll follow every little clue

'Cause I've gotta find you

Hello, hello.

I've been looking for you.

Well, wait a minute.

Please stop. I want to talk to you.

Isn't it peaceful here?

Would you mind moving your car,

or don't you want it anymore?

Yes, Guy, it is peaceful, isn't it?

What a shame.

Two perfectly beautiful cars.

In a moment,

the air will be full of fenders.

Wait. Would you mind hitting it

just about there?

That cigarette lighter

never did work anyway.

Well, don't say I didn't warn you.

Porter. Porter.

Can't do it.

I guess I'm too economical.

Now there.

Can I offer you something?

Frosted chocolate, Cointreau,

Benedictine, marriage?

What was that last?

- Benedictine.

- No, after that.

Oh, marriage.

Do you always propose marriage

as casually as that?

There's nothing casual about it.
