any too happy.

Sometimes I think

I'd have been better off if I'd spent

my summer in Pittsburgh.

There must be some way

of getting a stateroom.

The porter at the hotel

did everything he could.

He said there wasn't a chance.

Phone the company.

Maybe somebody turned back

a reservation.

That's a great idea.

No. I've changed my mind.

It's a terrible idea.

I'd rather swim the Channel

than tackle one of

these French phones.

But you've got to get a stateroom.

Not if I have to phone, I don't.

Oh, you big baby.

If you won't do something, I will.

I know who can do it.

You've got a lot of crust,

if you ask me, Mary.

Mr. Trevor, may I present

Mr. Reynolds?

How do you do,

Mr. Reynolds?

Won't you sit down, Mr. Trevor?

Oh, thank you.

I wonder if you'd do us a favor?

Of course. Gladly.

Frank has to go to London tonight.

He was going to fly this afternoon,

but they called off the service

on account of fog.

Now he has a ticket on the boat,

but no stateroom.

They were all sold out.

You would like me to help you

to get a stateroom. Is that it?

You get the general idea.

Ah, yes. Max.

Oui, monsieur.

Uh, what time does

your train leave, Mr. Reynolds?

2:
:00.

Merci.

Is that all?

Uh, that's all.

I asked him to wire the purser.

He's a friend of mine.

There'll be a stateroom

waiting for you in my name.

Thank you.

How about a little wine,

Mr. Trevor?

Oh. I think not.

Thank you.

We're awfully obliged to you.

Oh, not at all.

How is Paris treating you?

Pretty well.

I'm afraid we don't know

the places to go to.

I think this place is lovely,

but I would like to see

some French people.

This has been a favorite hangout

of Americans for years.

The prices are higher here

than anywhere else.

Uncle Harry says

you know Paris so well, Mr. Trevor.

Where should we go from here?

Well, if you've time, uh,

there's a little place I make a habit

of dropping into at night...

just before going to bed

when I'm really hungry.

If you like, uh,

why not come there with me?

It's very French.

Say, that's an idea.

But surely we've taken

all the advantage of you--

Oh, not at all.

If you're sure we wouldn't be intruding.

I'd like to get away from

this tourist stuff for awhile.

Well, uh, will you be my guests?

Not to give you a short answer,

Mr. Trevor, yes.

Good.

May I?

Ready, Frank?

I suppose so. I never know

whether I'm getting change

or owe the place money.

Merci, monsieur.

If you say this is the real stuff,

I suppose it is.

But I had Paris figured out

all different.

Well, I suppose Paris means

something different for everyone.

For you, I imagine it means clothes.

To Mr. Reynolds, uh, an interlude.
