- Hello.

- You got yourself quite a girl.

- Well, she'll do for a while.

Hi.

We better be going.

- What's that?

- Oh, it's a 1907 Maxwell.

You make different models from little kits.

Look kind of nice on a mantel...

if you have a mantel.

- Oh, it's cute.

- Be all right if I don't foul it up.

I generally foul things up.

- Don't be silly.

- I have lately, anyway.

Everything I touch, ever since Duluth.

I met her in a big beer hall.

She was the most

popular waitress they had.

I guess it was the way

she put the beer on the tables.

Until then I ran a good sheep ranch.

Then all of a sudden the sheep went dumb,

or I did.

That winter the sheep kept dying.

- Everybody gets a run of bad luck.

- That won't cover it.

I rented it to another rancher. He had

worse winters and made out all right.

She was bored with the ranch.

We spent half our time in town

in bars and nightclubs.

After that I fouled up a couple more jobs.

Then Korea. I went just to show her

I was young enough.

They sent me home with battle fatigue!

So don't tell me

I can't foul up a 1907 Maxwell!

Didn't do any good to fix that hand.

You like to suffer.

Maybe.

- My wife told you I was neurotic.

- She just said you weren't feeling well.

- She'd like everybody to believe I'm crazy.

- Don't be silly. Why?

I don't know, but she's got a reason.

You can bet on that.

She's got a reason.

Occupational therapy!

Hello? Is this the bus terminal? What time

do the buses leave tomorrow for Ottawa?

No, no, no. You got the wrong number.

This is McGrand's Boarding House.

Why don't you look up the right number

before you dial?

I'm sorry.

Mrs. McGrand, that wasn't for me?

Nope. Someone for that bus terminal

again. It's the fourth time in two days.

Must have changed

the number or something.

Hello. You called.

Listen, it's got to be tomorrow.

Do you hear me? Tomorrow.

He just made a big row in front of everyone.

After this, nothing's going

to surprise anyone. It's made to order.

Can you get him there?

There's always a way to handle George.

Be at the place as soon as it opens.

OK, kid. It's a date.

Good luck, darling.

In Chicago you know what we're gonna do?

No.

We're going straight to Marshall Field.

I'm gonna buy you the slinkiest, meanest,

laciest evening gown they've got.

- Price no object.

- Yeah?

And when we're all set to step, who'll pull

one of his jealous fits and lock the door?

Oh, no. No more of that stuff.

You wait and see.

I'll take you to any dance place you want

and we'll have fun, the both of us.

You know what I'm gonna do?

Take lessons. Arthur Murray in six hours

can have you doing the rumba, the samba...
