The whole trip

would be just like a dream.

We'd go where we pleased

when we pleased.

If we saw a beautiful spot

beside a brook or a mountain lake...

...a lovely wood, we'd stop there

and we'd be all alone.

It'd all be for us.

The moonlight and the sunsets...

...and the sound

of the tree toads far off...

The night the trailer show opened,

there was no holding Tacy.

Pardon me, but could you tell me

where the Bungalette trailer is?

Bungalette.

Oh, this is it, right here.

Thank you.

It's all right.

You know, we could put

some built-in gun racks right here.

Yeah.

- Both sides.

- I don't know. What's this business here?

Oh, excuse me, chum.

I thought my cap might...

Excuse me, l...

Pardon me. I want to get my cap

over here, lady, please.

- Excuse me. I'm so sorry.

- It's all right.

Pardon me, please. Pardon me.

But you know, it's pretty compact.

Oh, I'm so disappointed I could cry.

It looked enormous in the ads.

It was such a wonderful idea.

Well, don't worry, sweetheart.

We'll have a home.

We'll just have to wait a while,

that's all.

And then we saw it.

- Isn't it a beauty?

- Yeah, it's big, all right.

Let's look inside, just for fun.

Now, Tacy, that thing

must cost $ 1 million, at least.

Oh, I didn't mean

we'd ever think of buying it.

I know we could never do that.

But as long as we're here,

let's just look inside. Come on, darling.

What happened, darling?

Nothing, I just cracked my skull,

that's all.

Isn't it lovely?

So new and fresh and pretty.

Oh, look, glass in the oven

so you don't have to open it to look in.

Come on, honey,

let's look back here. Come on.

Do you see

this wonderful shower, honey?

Could I show you some of the features

of our trailer?

- No, no, we're just looking. Thank you.

- Thank you just the same.

- Did you see the linen closet?

- Yes, fine...

Oh, Nicky. Honey, be careful.

What's that step doing there?

That's a sunken living room.

It's just like a lovely little house.

Oh, Nicky, isn't it wonderful?

You couldn't ask for anything

more than this, could you?

- I'm gonna ask how much it is.

- Now, Tacy.

Just for fun.

Oh, pardon me.

l... I know we couldn't possibly

afford it...

...but could you tell me

the price of this trailer?

Yes. It's $5345.

I was afraid of something like that.

Of course, you wouldn't

have to pay that all at once.

- All you'd have to do is put down a third.

- Thank you very much.

That's $ 1750, isn't it?

- Approximately, yes.

- Thank you.

Did you hear that, Nicky?

Seventeen-fifty. That's $50 less

than the one we can't even stand up in.

It couldn't be 1750. That must be what

you give him for the down payment.
