Don't you think the strain

of having h...

Go and get her!

Jonathan! Too much excitement!

For heaven's sake, why don't you go?

Certainly. I'm going!

Don't get yourself upset, Dad.

Then get her.

I'll get her.

I knew it.

Why haven't you gone?

Where am I going to go?

To the hotel to get your fiance.

She's not my fiance. I never

saw her before in all my life.

You... You never saw her before?

I thought it was a matter of

minutes. I wanted him to be happy.

Oh, my.

What am I going to do?

I can't think. Let me see. What happened?

I gave her the $50, and she said...

What's a town in Ohio?

Toledo.

No, no. A small town! Small

town! Starts with... Shh!

Shelbyville! That's it! Thank you!

Does that mean you can find her?

There's a chance.

Roberts, get my hat and

coat, quick! Yes, sir.

Pardon me, sir.

How is the old gentleman?

Well, he's hungry.

He wants a steak. He's fine.

Fine.

Board! All aboard!

Board!

Well, here goes.

Good-bye, darling.

Good-bye,Jenny.

Is these all yours? Uh-huh.

Where's the yellow one?

It's right here.

I couldn't forget that.

High yellow.

That's my favorite color!

Board.!

Good-bye,Jackie.

I'll write you every week. Thanks

for the stationery from the hotel.

Anne, you can't just walk out on

yourself like this. She'll be back.

No, I won't. It's not so easy to meet

the Toscaninis and the Stokowskis.

I've been trying for two years.

Why, I couldn't even get to see

the second doorman at the Met.

It's going to be awfully dull

in Shelbyville.

There are eight million people in this city that

don't care whether I ever sing another note in my life.

In Shelbyville, there are only 2,000.

The opposition isn't quite so strong there.

You'd better come along now.

Them seats is gettin'filled up.

I'll be right in.

Good-bye,Jackie,Jennie. Board.!

Oh! Thank heavens!

I was afraid you'd be gone!

Where are your bags?

Give me the lady's bags!

What do you want? You can't do this!

Leave those bags there.

You've gotta go with me. It's my

father. He's better! Give me the bags!

Leave the bags there. I can't go! I'm going home!

I quit my job! This ain't no time to arbitrate!

I'll give you anything! Another

$50! Ple... I don't want anything!

Hey, wait! Don't go! Lady, I

can't. That's out of my compartment.

When the train goes, I

ditto. Now will you throw 'em?

Yes or no? Who's winnin'?

All right, throw 'em!

You is the most untravelin'est

traveler I ever did see!

Let me have 'em.

How many are there?

Uh, three. Three! Let me have 'em!

And the big black one! The

big black one! Throw the big...

Oh! Aah!

I've already sent a telegram home! Well,

come on. We'll send another one from my house!
