days, I have been living

with Michael as a

respectable married woman.

- You didn't.

- I did.

- 'No.'

- Yes.

Mother, you ought to be

ashamed of yourself.

I think it's rather nice.

Nice and scholarly.

You kids should try again

at getting a formal education.

Ah, they'd throw us out.

They always do.

I don't like it.

Too many bright young faces.

You promised you'd be

open minded.

- We are.

- Ah, say bud--

- What are you doing?

- I'm being open minded.

Say, I'm new here.

Ah, would you advise my taking

Professor Kingsley's course?

Brother, you are new.

[all laughing]

Well, maybe he appeals

to the more intellectual type.

Alright, we'll try this one.

Ah, pardon me,

but would you recommend

Professor Kingsley's course?

- I certainly would.

- You see?

He's the most

scholarly man on the campus.

In his class, nothing but

good stimulating work.

- Thank you.

- Yes, we see.

Bye-bye.

We'll give this Michael

one more chance.

Ah, excuse me, do you know

Professor Kingsley?

Oh, Gas-house Mike?

- Gas-house?

- Yes, you know, the chem lab.

He's a drip from way back.

Makes it nice. You'll be known

as Mrs. Gas-house Mike.

[both whistling]

It's amusing.

What is it?

It's your new home.

[whistles]

(Susan) 'This looks like the set

from that play of Freddie's.'

The one about the two old ladies

that murdered their boarders.

They hid the bodies under here.

I can fix it up.

Chintz and things.

Oh, mom, you're not really gonna

give up the nicest apartment

in New York for this.

You just don't belong here.

Now, listen kids.

I hate to go sentimental

on you but have to.

Next to you, this is

the most important thing

that's ever happened to me.

I'm in love with Michael.

And life with him

can be lovely and good.

If you let me make it so.

Well, mom--

Uh, well,

let's explore upstairs.

And, incidentally,

get washed up.

Good idea,

I've got to change, too.

Although, running water seems

too much to hope for.

Jo? Jo?

Yes, Michael.

Hello, darling.

Can I count on a greeting

like this every night?

There'll probably come a time

when I'll just snarl

and say, "Oh, you again."

Think so?

No.

Neither do I.

How do you, uh,

how do you like the place?

It has an air.

Uh, Michael..

Oh, I didn't know you

expected them so soon.

I didn't. They got worried

and trailed me.

Well, let's go up

and meet them.

Uh, in a minute, Michael.

Susan and Jeff maybe a little

difficult to know at first

but you'll make an effort to

like them, won't you?

Is an effort required?

Well, they're not

really difficult.

They had an odd childhood.

Travelling, picking up

too many notions

meeting too many adults.
