That's what I say, 1750.
Oh, let's get it, Nicky, please.
- What?
- I'll save, I promise.
I won't spend a cent
on anything again as long as I live.
Only I just want to have
this for our home.
Honey, we could do it, couldn't we?
We wouldn't have to pay any rent.
I'll cook all of our meals. Honest I will.
We won't have to go
to any restaurants or hotels.
Honey, there won't be any bellboys
to bother us, no tips.
Well, just think of the money that
we could save on our honeymoon alone.
Ten minutes later, I started saving it.
And $ 160 for state tax...
...and $ 73 for registration, license fee
and payment on the insurance.
That makes a grand total of $ 1932.22.
- And 22 cents?
- That's right.
Ever hauled a house trailer before?
- No, we've never...
- Well, if I were you...
...I'd have a professional
haul it to Colorado.
Oh, no. That's gonna be half the fun.
You're gonna haul it yourself, huh?
Maybe I'd better take a look at your car.
My car?
Better get a heavier car.
Be a big saving in the end.
Let's see. We'll allow you $400
for your old car.
And that plus 900 cash,
makes 1300 as down payment.
Okay?
Look, are you sure that this car
is heavy enough to pull a trailer?
Absolutely.
Of course, you have to have a hitch
welded to the bottom of your car.
A hitch, huh?
How much would that cost?
Oh, we don't do that here.
- You'll have to go to an expert.
- I see. Where am I gonna find an expert?
Excelsior Trailer Repair.
They're the best people in town...
We now had a new car, a new trailer...
...and mortgages of $ 7646.
We don't just weld the hitch to your car,
we bolt it on in three places:
The forward member,
the rear member, under your bumper.
Hey, Joe, here... Here it is.
Bring it over here.
You're getting the best hitch
on the market today.
This is the ball. It engages securely
to the socket in the slip dolly...
...which prevents a lot of...
- Just a minute. Slip dolly?
Oh, sure, sure. Come here. Here.
Here it is. Come over here.
Now, this is the B6 four-wheel model.
It's $ 170 extra plus tax, but it's worth
it. It takes the weight of the trailer...
Wait a minute.
Do I have to have one of these things?
Cripes! Why, you can't afford
to be without that.
It was a question of
who 'd give out first:
Me or the money.
Block and tackle, just in case.
- In case of what?
- Just in case.
That'll be fine, now.
The little lady said she wanted the car
dropped off at her house.
- That's right.
- Sometimes you don't know what to do...
...with these things.
Try to figure them out...
Oh, no. You drive.
- Who, me?
- Sure, sure. Move over.
Nothing to it.
