Frightened?

Frightened? No. I'm never

gonna be frightened again.

Now you're my wall to lean against.

Well, I've always tried to be

a strong man in a conservative way.

Well, my strong and conservative man,

carry me across our first threshold.

Oh, no, Francie.

No, that's... People did that...

That's old...

Beg your pardon...

That's all right.

I know how it is.

Well, how is it?

Can't a man make a mistake?

He could knock!

Isn't this Drawing Room A, car 71?

Yes, this is Drawing Room A, car 71.

Here's our ticket. But you see...

What are you gonna do about this?

Throw them out! They're going.

We'd rather stay, if you... Then

the conductor will throw you out...

No. This is our drawing room

and I won't budge.

Good! I was wondering

what we'd do all night.

Every time I take a trip with you,

something happens.

And when I don't, something happens.

I know what I'm married to.

You haven't fooled me,

not one minute. But I don't care!

Look, dear. Why can't you keep quiet.

Before I pin your big ears back!

You heard him! You're witnesses!

I wish you had a mother to go back to.

I wish I had another husband!

I'll get you one at the next station.

You're gonna be a nasty old man.

There's room in the observation car.

I guess she got frightened.

Frightened of what?

Another peep out of you and

you'll sleep in the observation car.

Francie, you'd better hurry!

Peter, what is a professor's wife

meant to do? I forgot to ask.

Oh, mostly just keep the professor

happy, that's all. Ready?

You're gonna like Old Sharon.

You're gonna like my family too.

And they'll love you. I hope so.

Never having had one of my own,

I have an illusion about one.

Good moring. Keith! Francie! What

are you...? Oh, yes, I married you.

Ah, ah, she married me! Oh, that's

all right, then we're cousins.

You can use that drawing room now

if you want. Don't get fresh.

The old man looks calm considering

you're married. I haven't told him.

Oh, you haven't told him. No. Save

me two seats on the 50-yard line.

I'm gonna tell him. I'm old enough

to know what I'm doing.

It isn't as if I ran off and got

married. I thought it out carefully.

If he has anything to say,

he can say it to my face.

Maybe I'd better wait till

you straighten things out.

Come to my place... No! No.

Then you could tell them.

I'll come over later. I don't like

that... Don't you think I ought to?

Maybe. Come along, cousin Francis.

OK. Oh, Francie, come here.

Goodbye. Goodbye.

Goodbye?

I'll be seeing you in a minute!

We'll be at my cosy apartment.

Call us some time.

Keith, is your phone connected?

Hi, uncle.

Who is that blonde thing with Keith?

There he is.

Hello, darling. How are you?
