I'm here to keep my eye on her

Caring, sharing

Every little thing that we are wearing

When a certain gentleman

Arrived from Rome

She wore the dress

And I stayed home

All kinds of weather

We stick together

The same in the rain or sun

Two different faces

But in tight places

We think and we act as one

Those who've seen us

Know that not a thing

Could come between us

Many men have tried to split us up

But no one can

Lord help the mister

Who comes between me and my sister

And Lord help the sister

Who comes between me and my man

Sisters!

Sisters!

Sister, don't come between me

And my man

Hey, we're a smash. Let's take a bow.

Are you crazy? We'll be taking a bow

down at the jailhouse. Come on.

- Hey! Hey, you!

- The sheriff!

- Open up! Come on. Open up.

- You've done it again.

It was your fault.

If we get out of this...

Let's go.

Taxi!

- Boy, girl, boy, girl.

- Let's get over the... Hold this.

Here we go.

You gentlemen made it just in time.

- Is this the right car...

- You say you have space on this train?

Show him the tickets, buster.

- Tickets?

- The tickets.

- Tickets. Yeah.

- Yes.

Hold this just a minute.

- What's the matter with you?

- No. I'm looking for the tickets.

- Get them up.

- I'll get them.

- Railroad tickets...

- Yeah.

I have the... No, it's...

I don't seem to have them.

Maybe you've got them, Bob.

Me? You crazy?

I saw you put them in your pocket.

Well, they're gone. They're gone.

I must have left them in my girdle.

Gentlemen, either you have tickets

or you haven't tickets.

We've got a drawing room.

Every available space

on this train is occupied.

However, if you care

to purchase tickets,

you can sit up all night

in the club car.

Well, that's fine.

How much are two fares to New York?

Now, let me see. $97.24.

- How much more is it to Vermont?

- Vermont? We're going to New York.

It must be beautiful this time of year

in Vermont, Bob. All that snow?

- Two tickets to New York.

- How much more to Vermont?

Vermont? Who cares?

Who's going to Vermont?

We are. I mean, we should.

It'll do us a lot of good, Bob,

all that snow and the fir trees

and the clean fresh air and...

Great change of pace,

just what we need.

- Two tickets to New York.

- It's still $97.24 though.

- OK, buster, get it out. Come on.

- I don't seem to have any cash.

What did you do with that?

Leave it in your snood? Here.

- $97.24.

- OK. There you are.

- Where are you going?

- It's for breakfast.

- Breakfast! Get some peanuts.

- All right.

- Club car's straight ahead.

- OK.

Excuse me, gentlemen.

I certainly don't get this.

We had space in our names.

They're not allowed to give it away
