"If you care to demonstrate | your invention to our company,

"the Board will meet you | Saturday, June 12, at 2:00,

"in our main office. "

That's great, Sam!

Yes, I guess I finally | put one over. Yes, sir.

Come on, Charlie, | help me get this tire off.

Mrs. Bisbee? | I'm Mrs. Murchison.

How do you do?

Won't you come in, please? | Thank you.

So nice of you to call, | Mrs. Murchison. Not at all.

I'm sure you understand | why I'm here.

My daughter told me | you were coming.

It's about your daughter I've | come to see you, Mrs. Bisbee.

I suppose you already know | that my son,

who is very young | and unsophisticated,

has been... Shall I | say, taken in by her?

Has been what?

Well, fascinated by her.

Now he even talks of | wanting to marry her.

Of course, with his social position, | his family and his future...

In short, the whole affair's | absurd, and I've come to...

And why is it absurd that your son | should want to marry my daughter?

The women of the Warren family | have always been above reproach.

That is history.

The Warren family?

You don't mean | the Warrens of Virginia?

My grandfather was General | Robert Henry Warren of Virginia.

Not really!

There, | you can see for yourself.

Well, this is a surprise.

Of course, | you wouldn't recognize me.

I'm the baby on his lap.

That was taken on the veranda of | our old homestead in Warrenton.

You're sure this album | belongs to you?

Quite sure. | Oh, yes, yes, yes.

Then your daughter Pauline | is really a Warren!

Well, of course, | that puts the whole affair

in an entirely | different light.

You all right, boy? | Yeah.

Glad you weren't hurt.

That's a puncture-proof tire.

Couldn't hurt that tire.

Knock the tree down first.

I still think Robert's | far too young to marry,

and I was afraid some cheap | girl of vulgar family...

You understand.

Delicious, delicious!

Robert tells me your husband | is a businessman.

Yes, in a manner of speaking.

However, his greatest | interest is in his inventions.

May I ask, | what does he invent?

Oh, various things.

For instance, he's been | working, lately, on a tire.

A tire? | An automobile tire?

That's been | invented already.

An automobile tire | that cannot be punctured.

Oh, but that's | impossible surely.

I've never heard | of any such tire.

And if there'd been a demand | for a puncture-proof tire,

surely someone would've | invented one before this.

They've been trying to | for 20 years, and here she is.

Mrs. Murchison, | this is my husband.

Your husband?

Well, this is a pleasant surprise. | I want to show you this tire.

Look at the resiliency in that | thing. I think I'd better be going.
