It's as white as...

- Snow.

- Yeah.

(phone rings)

Hello?

Oh, hello, darling. I was just waiting

to hear the sound of your voice.

Hey, lay off that phone

and come out here, will you?

Hey, Ted?

Ted?

Could you spare ten cents

for the Skiers' Aid Society?

- I just gave you ten cents.

- Oh, so you're the fella. OK.

- (knock at door)

- Come in.

- Like it?

- Like it? You look beautiful.

- Thank you.

- But are those the shoes you're wearing?

I like a tight clamp at the heel -

gives better knee pressure.

Imagine that.

My skis are downstairs being waxed.

Where are yours?

Wait - you didn't really think I was going

out there, sailing over the hills and dales?

Wait - you didn't really think I was going

out there, sailing over the hills and dales?

- That's what you're dressed for, isn't it?

- I've never skied in my life.

But I can look the part. And if you teach me

the words, I'll be able to talk a good game.

Well, you're missing a lot of fun. Come on,

let me take you to the beginners' slope.

- After you get the hang of it, you'll be crazy...

- That's right, I'd be crazy.

But I don't want to spoil it for you. Go shoot

the chutes. I'll find something else to do.

- You're the swellest girl I ever met.

- That's what I think of me too.

Why don't you give in?

Say yes and marry me.

Aren't you afraid

we'd spoil a beautiful friendship?

There's only one way to find out.

Suppose it didn't take? Suppose I got tired

of you writing arrangements for breakfast,

or you couldn't stand

me singing scales for lunch?

Be all right by me,

as long as it was close harmony.

- Well, let's practise a little longer.

- Till when? Tomorrow?

Don't tempt me. I might surprise you

and say yes when you least expect it.

Now run along and play.

- Well, I hate to...

- Yes, I know you do.

Goodbye.

OK. See you at rehearsal.

- Gee, honey, you were great.

- What happened? Where is he?

- He didn't see you. He went skiing.

- Skiing...

Hey!

Yell "track" when you wanna pass!

Hey, look where you're going!

What are you trying to do?

So you wanna play games, huh?

Well, I'll be...

That did it!

Hey, why don't you buy

your own private mountain?

You should be barred off the runs!

You ought to know better than to do crazy

stunts like that. Haven't you any sense?

Somebody ought to take your skis

and lock 'em up.

Well? Haven't you anything

to say for yourself?

I hope you're satisfied. What's the...

Hello.

How did you get here?

Didn't we have a wonderful chase?

Let's do it again.

Now just a minute...

You're a wonderful skier.

Your people must've come from Norway.

Mm-hm. By way of Dublin.

I picked it up when I was at college.
