Detroit?

But that's in Michigan.

[ Chuckles ]

There's a man knows his geography.

Lillie, let's you and I

find someplace that's quiet.

- I have something I want to say to you.

- [ Drumroll ]

Ladies and gentlemen, please

get your partners for the waltz contest.

Oh, Sam, I feel like dancing.

Let's enter.

All right.

If that's what you want.

[ Waltz ]

You dance beautifully.

Oh, my feet!

And I felt like such a kid

when I came to see you tonight.

Lillie, do you have

many days like this?

All the time.

Pretty crowded life.

You haven't very much room

in it for, uh, anything else, have you?

No, Sam. I guess I haven't.

- Well, here we are.

- Yes.

- Oh, don't bother to get out, Sam.

- Thank you, Lillie.

Oh, Lillie.

Uh, keep this in memory

of Sam Harper...

the fellow who you won

a dance contest with.

- Thank you, Sam. Thank you for everything.

- [ Explosions ]

Good grief. Are those kids working

in the chemical laboratory at this hour?

I don't know. I'd better go find out.

Good night, Sam.

Good night, Lillie.

Good night.

- Home, Mr. Harper?

- Please.

[ Explosions ]

- Tom!

- I was sure I had that ''re-ceep'' right this time.

Tom, you're absolutely incorrigible.

Janey.!

Did that noise wake you up?

No.

Well, then, why are you crying?

I just want a drink of water.

Oh.

[ Man ]

Miss Jane Gilbreth.

- Congratulations,Jane.

- Thank you.

You're a great one,

I must say.

You work hard your whole life

to send your children through college...

and when that final great moment arrives,

you go to sleep.

I wasn't asleep, dear.

I was just thinking of someone

who loved us all very much...

and saying thank you.

I got teary

when you called me dearie

'Twas down where

the bluegrass grows

Your lips were

sweeter than julep

When you wore a tulip

And I wore a big, red rose

Bum, bum

When we walk along

Life's highway

Alma mater

Will walk along

With you
