Hey, hey!

Oh.

Pardon me, madam.

Oh, Walter. Sugar?

Do you like sugar

on your grapefruit? Hmm?

Do you like music

with your meals, dear?

A little kiss

;At twilight

In a great big cozy chair;

In a homemade heaven

we share

Alone

A little kiss

;At twilight

When the long

blue shadows fall

Round a small, white cottage

we call

Our own

It's a dream

I know

But I know too

Dreams like this

Often come true

A little kiss at twilight

I'd be waiting

all day through

For that one sweet moment

at home

With you

Oh, Walter? Would you like bacon

with your pancakes, or...

sausages?

You! And singing!

Great Caesar's ghost! What

have you got to sing about?

Well, I, uh- Quiet!

How did you get here?

In the back.

How did you get here?

In the front.

Well, where's Walter?

I'll tell

you where Walter is.

He's home with Nancy, and she's

probably wrapped around his neck.

I'd never have come if I hadn't figured on

you being there to keep an eye on them.

It was all your idea about me

getting Walter off alone. My idea?

Was that rain?

No, it wasn't rain, and don't

change the subject. It was too.

Residents and

tourists in the High Sierras.

A storm with freak cloudbursts is

ooding roads and streams in that area.

Motorists should avoid back roads near

the temporary dam at Paradise Lake.

Say, we better get out of here.

We're just below the dam.

You back the car up closer.

I'll get these things together.

Oh!

Hey, hey! Get out! Hey, Letty, help me.

Come on!

Stop hollering at me,Jim!

- Come on, Letty! Hey, kids.

- Oh, gee!

Hey, hey, hey!

Come on.

Hey, somethings burning!

Yeah, I know. That's me.

Don't tell me.

Hey, m '.

What'?

Huh.

It's raining.

Well, maybe it will

put the fire out.

Yeah.

Oh,Jim.

Now what?

Carry me over.

Will you, please?

Carry you over!

Look you... you...

you golliwog!

I'm tired. I'm hungry. I'm lost.

I got pneumonia.

My feet hurt.

I'll probably die.

And it's

all your fault!

You balled up everything.

You burnt my car.

Now, now you

want me to carry you!

No, sir. You walk the same as

I do, and I hope you drown!

That's all!

I tell you-

Ah-choo'.!

Whats new? Well, what do you want?

You got a cigarette?

No, but I got a cold I'd gladly give ya.

Thanks, I have one of my own.

Ah-choo!

Move over, will ya?

A little heat. Ah-choo!

Now, look.

When Walter comes-

- When who comes? - Walter.

Walter, my brother. I wired him.

I won't let Walter see me like this!

He's not going to.

I'll make a touch, give you some

money; you can slip out the back way.

But, Why?

Why! Why?

Because Walter's

got old-fashioned ideas.

If he ever finds us here

like this, we're cooked.

Oh, don't be silly- Look, will

you quit arguing and go on home?

But how am I gonna

get home? Jim?

Miss Larkin, you may take a bus, borrow roller

skates, hire a bicycle or just skid along on-

Well,just skid along!

Ah-choo!

You're not gonna push me

out in the night. Shh!

Look, if I'm gonna drown, a little

scandal, more or less, won't hurt.

All right. All right.

Stay then, only don't-

Scandal! You got it.

It's in the bag.

Yeah, and I'll be holding it.

What?

Look, when Walter comes, I'll

have them send him to your room.

But Walter

wasn't supposed to see me.

That was now.

I mean, this is then.

The minute he gets

into your room, you do this:

you look at him and talk to him. You

walk over to the door like this.

When you get over here, you back

up and lock the door, like this.

And you take out the key, you see?

Yeah.

Then, keep the key well concealed, and

you move nonchalantly to the window,

looking at Walter.

But what am I saying?

What does a lady say when a

gentleman busts into her room?

I don't know.

No gentleman ever tried.

All right. You lean out,

and you do like I'm doing.

And you say,

Ah, it's raining.

I wouldnt lean out

if it was raining.

I mean, it is raining,

of course, but I-

Ah-choo!

Do you want to marry Walter?

Yes, of course, but I-

All right.

Now, you lean out, and you say-

What I told you

to say before.

You drop the key. I'm waiting down below. I

pick it up and bust in at the crucial moment.

When's that?

When you cry out, My own beloved,

nothing can ever part us now.

My own- Oh, no. Well, anyway, you

throw yourself into Walter's arms.

Yeah? Yeah. Let's rehearse it.

Come on! Get the door.

Oh, all right.

Let's get into it.

I locked the door.

- Yeah. Now I'll be Walter.

- Hello, Walter.

My, Walter,

how you have changed.

Yes, I have.

Well, come on. Do you

want to do this, or not?

Oh, all right!

We are having weather,

I mean, aren't we?

Is that what I said?

Ah, it's raining.

Come on, come on! It might work.

All right.

Ah, the rain.

Little tears of crystal,

dropping, dropping... dropping.

Oh, stick to the act,

will ya? We're not-

Oh, no!

Oh, no!

It couldn't.

You couldn't have dropped it.

I got carried away. Oh, don't!

Why, I'll take you-

You can, uh-

Jim, it's Walter.

Open the door.

No! Don't! Ah-ah-

I'll be there

in a minute, Walter.

Ah-ah- I-I'm just

slipping into something.

Hide! Go. Take it there.

Hide, yeah!

Hey, wait. Wait!

There. That way.

Just a minute,

Walter.

Shh! I can't get under there.

Ow! it's too low!

Open the door".

I can't, it's too low.

I mean- I-I can't.

What do you mean, you can

'z'.7 Open the door".

I sorta

lost the key.

Wait a minute!

How do you like that?

Oh, maid, have you a passkey?

Yes, sir. Would you mind, please?

It's my brother.

Walter, if you'll send up the proprietor,

I'll join you in a couple of minutes.

Thanks!

Uh, hello, everybody.

What's the idea of locking

the door and losing the key?

Oh, I dropped

it out the window.

You mean, you deliberately dropped it?

just dropped it?

Oh, don't be silly.

I didn't drop-

Yes, yes. It's a sort of a game.

A game?

Yeah, a game!

Drop the key,

they call it.

You were playing it all alone?

Yeah, to pass away the time.

And to play it,

you drop the key.

I guess.

What?

I know it sounds like I'm

kidding, but I dropped it.

Ah-ah-ah-ah-choo!

I have a cold.

That was me.

Ah-ah-ah-

Ah-ah-ah-

Ah-choo!

Ah-choo!

Uh, hello.

Letty!

Why you cute things you!

Of course! Dad said he had

an idea you two would elope,

but we just laughed at him.

Ha-ha. Bet you

laughed your heads off.

Oh, but,

we're not married!

Not married?

No.

Jim, I'm

ashamed of you!

Oh, now, Walter, wait a minute!

Letty Larkin, of all people!

Listen, Aunt Minnie, we- Hey, wait

a minute! You've got us all wrong.

I can explain everything.

Honest, I can.

You can? Fine. Yeah.

Then maybe you can tell

us why Letty was hiding.

Well, uh, Letty- We, uh-

I was, uh-

The thing, uh-

And we... we-

Uh- I-

Navy to take another bride.

The happy couple.

Gee, ain't that

romantic?

Letty? Romantic?

That's a funny one.

Walter? Oh.

Oh, isn't it just

too marvelous?

Jim and dear Letty are going

to be married on a battleship.

Yeah, I know.

Walter arranged it.
