to somebody else.

Well, with the holiday rush and all

there could have been a slip-up.

- Excuse me.

- The club car's in there, I think.

Well, this is great, just great.

We've paid for our tickets twice,

and now we've got to sit up all night.

What are you screaming about?

If we took a plane,

we'd be sitting up all night.

We're not taking a plane.

We're taking a train,

a train on which we had tickets.

Tickets for a drawing room with

two nice, warm, soft comfortable beds,

where, at this very moment, two...

No, you wouldn't do this to me.

- Wouldn't do what?

- After you dressed me up like a dame,

you get me involved with a sheriff.

I almost lose my life

trying to catch a train. I know...

I just know on top of all that,

you wouldn't take away

my nice warm bed

and let me spend the night

out here in a drafty old club car.

You wouldn't do this to old Bob,

would you?

Whatever are you talking about?

I'm going down there to Drawing

Room A, I'm gonna open up that door,

and if I find those two Haynes sisters

there, I'm gonna take them by the hair

and with these two hands I'm...

Mr. Wallace,

how can we ever thank you?

It was really so sweet

and generous of you.

Mr. Davis told us you insisted

on giving us the tickets,

and, well, it was just wonderful of you.

Wasn't there something

you wanted to say to the girls?

Yeah. Won't you have a drink

or a sandwich or something?

- Let's sit down.

- Yeah, sit down.

Can we have some club sandwiches?

- I'd like lemonade, please.

- I'll have a malt, please.

- We're emceeing the joint.

- This is cozy, boy, girl, girl, boy.

Tell me, where are you kids

going to stay in New York?

We're not staying in New York.

We're booked for over the holidays.

- Where?

- The Columbia Inn, Pine Tree, Vermont.

That sounds very Vermont-y.

Should be beautiful this time

of the year in Vermont,

- all that snow and everything.

- Yeah, yeah, beautiful.

The fir trees, the clean pine air.

Very beautiful. Just what we need.

Wonderful. Could you come up

for a couple of days?

Well, I don't know...

I wish you could.

It would be awfully nice.

Miss Haynes,

if you're ever under a falling building

and somebody runs up

and offers to pick you up

and carry you to safety, don't think,

don't pause, don't hesitate a moment,

just spit in his eye.

- What did that mean?

- It means we're going to Vermont.

Oh, boy!

Might not be bad at that, you know.

The snow-covered slopes, the skiing,

Christianas and the stemming

and the platzing and the schussing.

Hot buttered rum,

light on the butter, snow.

- Snow, snow

- Snow, snow

Snow

It won't be long

Before we'll all be there with snow

Snow, snow
