George, the skates.

- We forgot Chester.

- Oh.

- Chester!

- Oh, here I am.

Come on.

Come on. Hurry up.

Hey, your mustache is off.

- How do I look?

- They'll never know you, Bill.

My pipe.

Quiet.

Be careful.

Marjorie, a horse and sleigh.

And Ike Hickey driving.

Alice, do you remember?

Oh, yes.

Hello, Ike.

Mr. Hickey!

Marjorie, this is wonderful!

Hello, Marjorie, the back seat, just for us.

Thank you, Chester.

Oh, excuse me, Mr. Finley.

Stella...

Mercy, I haven't been skating

since I was knee-high to a duck.

Isn't it beautiful?

It was very nice of you

to ask me along tonight, Marjorie.

I realize this is sort of a family occasion,

but, who knows,

pretty soon I may be one of the family.

Giddyap, there.

Giddyap, there.

Giddyap, there.

Mr. Hickey, be careful.

You nearly broke Chester's glasses.

- Isn't it pretty?

- It's just beautiful.

My goodness, Alice,

it's almost just like we left it.

Yeah. The pavilion's new,

but they cut down the old sycamore.

Oh, yeah, the one we used to race to.

Well, anyway,

the most important thing hasn't changed.

What's that?

Twenty years ago, you were

the prettiest girl here and you still are.

- George.

- I'll help you, Marjorie.

Everybody out.

Come on, Stella, old girl.

Out with his wife tonight,

just to throw us off the track.

- He doesn't fool me.

- Me, neither.

Keep still.

Now, that's not too tight, is it, Marjorie?

Oh, no, that's fine, Chester. Thanks.

Thanks, honey.

You know, it's kind of tough bending over,

all bundled up like this.

I understand, dear.

- Good evening, Mrs. Winfield.

- Good evening.

Hello, Alice.

Hello, George.

My goodness, Alice, the way

I'm being treated you'd think I was poison.

They do act a little queer.

Wonder who Harris foreclosed on today.

Careful, Mr. Winfield.

Mercy.

Very good.

Come on, honey.

Be careful.

Isn't it exhilarating?

Yeah, let's not wait 20 years

to try this again.

Let's not overdo it.

You know, we're 20 years older.

Oh, I'm just getting warmed up.

Alice.

Look at your father.

- I'm all right, Alice.

- George, come off the ice!

The second time.

Mercy, Mr. Winfield, you all right?

Stella!

Attention, everyone.

Hey, attention, everyone, please.

All right, all you figure skaters,

Grab your favorite girl and let's everybody

skate to our favorite song.

Here we go.

Come on, Alice, this is my speed.

Oh, I think you need a rest.

Well, our favorite resting place

is behind Spooners' Rock.

Or had you forgotten?

It's working.

The man said, "your favorite girl."

Hey, Marjorie, Mr. Hickey's all alone,

and he said he'd like to skate with you.

- Come on.

- Mr. Hickey?

Here she is.

- Mr. Hickey, you want to skate with me?

- That's right.

Now, that's very sweet.

- But, Marjorie, I'm your escort.

- Now, Chester, be a good sport.

Come on, Mr. Hickey.

Mr. Hickey. Really.

Real...

Bill!

Bill...

Marjorie...

Oh, pardon me,

I am looking for Mr. George Winfield.

- He's over on the other side of the pond.

- With his wife.

Thank you.

Mother and Father

are behind Spooners' Rock.

Good.

- By the light

- By the light

- Of the silvery moon

- Of the silvery moon

- I want to spoon

- I want to spoon

- To my honey I'll croon love's tune

Mr. Winfield! Oh, Mr. Winfield!

Good evening, Miss La Rue.

I have been searching for you frantically.

My show opens tomorrow,

and we must reach

some kind of an understanding.

Well, I thought that was all settled.

I still did not get an answer from you

on the divorce matter.

Divorce? Oh, Mother! Oh, Mother.

But, Miss La Rue, my note settled all that.

Note?

Yes, the speech I copied from the play,

the one dealing with divorce.

I sent it back to you with a notation

requesting that it be deleted

from the show.

Father, you mean that note

was just something out of the play?

Yes. I gave it to Wesley to deliver.

Here. This must be it.

- What are you doing with that?

- Well, sir, I...

He thought Chester sent the letter to me.

You couldn't blame me. When Wesley said

Marjorie told him to burn it.

- Burn it?

- It wasn't her fault.

We thought it was a love letter

you were sending to Miss La Rue.

- Yes.

- A love letter?

You thought that I...

That this woman and I...

You all thought...

- Alice, what did you think?

- I didn't know.

They didn't let me in on the fun.

Fun? Well, I don't think this is so funny.

And I beg you to remember

that Miss La Rue and I

weren't having any fun, either.

And as for you, young man,

when we get home,

you're gonna get a taste of my razor strap.

Father.

Don't worry, Sis, I threw it away.

- You what?

- You won't need it anymore.

I got you one of these new safety razors

for your anniversary.

Oh...

Well, really, I don't think

this is a laughing matter.

My own family, my friends and neighbors

distrusted me.

And what about this lady's feelings?

- Miss La Rue, you must think that this is...

- Very funny.

Oh, that's wonderful, Miss La Rue.
