That's our slogan.
You know,
they are kind of like you at that-
tall and blonde.
Holy smoke!
I'm in Bermuda.
Good. I'm in Greenland.
No, don't be superficial.
This is serious.
I'm supposed to be in Bermuda,
What'll I do?
Telephone her first.
From New York?
Don't tell her it's from New York.
Tell her it's from Bermuda.
I shall make you
general of all my armies
for that suggestion.
Only you're gonna
tell her I'm gonna
call from Bermuda.
Oh, no, I'm not!
No, come on. You're
gonna be the operator.
Come on.Just this once.
Oh!
Well, what's her number?
Snowden 82793.
Yes?
Yes, this is
the Snowden residence.
Oh, very well.
Bermuda calling Miss Vivien.
Just a moment, please.
Hello?
Hello? Hello, Miss Snowden?
Bermuda calling. Are you ready?
This is Miss Snowden.
Yes, I'm ready.
Well, go ahead with Bermuda.
Hello, Vivien?
Can you hear me?
C- Can you hear me, Vivien?
Hello, Ted. Yes, I can hear
you perfectly. How are you?
And when are you coming back?
Oh, I'm fine, Vivien.
Eh, I'll be back-
Hello? Hello,
Snowden 82793?
Miss Vivien Snowden,
Bermuda calling. Hello?
Hello? Hello, go ahead.
Go ahead with Bermuda-
Operator, I've got Bermuda.
Will you please get off the line?
Hello, hello, Ted?
Can you hear me?
Y- Yes, Vivien,
I can hear you.
Hello? Bermuda.
Oh, operator, I've got Bermuda.
Please get off the wire.
Hello? Hello, Ted?
Can you hear me, Vivien?
- What'd you say, Ted?
- Hello?
Uh, what?
I can't hear you, Vivien.
Can you-
Hello, Miss Snowden. Do you
want the charges reversed?
Oh, operator, go away!
Hello, Miss Snowden?
Bermuda calling-
Oh! I can't stand this.
Hello, Ted? Ted?
Hello? Hello?
Boy, is she mad!
I love my daffodil too!
Hello. Get me the
Bermuda operator, please.
Oh, my jaws hurt.
Yes?
No call from Bermuda?
Why, that's-
From New York?
Are you sure?
Well, thank you.
Oh, wise guy, huh?
What was that?
What's the matter?
Oh, everything's all right.
Hey, Regi,you got
some iodine?
Why? What's the matter?
There's been an accident.
Is there a doctor in the house?
Oh!
Just a minute.
Are you hurt?
Hurt, sire? I'm dead.
What in the world
happened?
I fell off the couch.
Aw, you did?
Oh-ho-ho! Whoa!
It doesn't hurt.
It burns.
I'd fall off every night,
but you'd never hear me.
Do you dream?
No.
You should. You'd meet
a better class of people.
I can't sleep
on a narrow bed.
Aw, you can't?
When I was home, I used to
sleep on a big, double bed.
Well, what would you suggest?
Well, I could suggest something, but-
Well, you won't get mad now, will ya?
- Well, what is it?
- Well-
Will ya tuck me in?
Well, if I wanna get my sleep,
I guess I'd better.
Lie down.
Come on. Lie down.
What's the chair for?
To keep you
from falling out.
You're almost as good at this
as my mother was.
Was there anything else
your mother did?
Mm-hmm.
Before she turned out the lights,
she always used to kiss me good night.
I'm only almost
as good as your mother was.
we were on the yacht, sir.
The captain is delighted
you're taking her out again.
You and the captain
shouldn't jump to conclusions, Peter.
I'm not even sure
we are taking it out again.
Wheel me out on the terrace.
I'd like to think it over.
And, of course,
there's always Venice.
I'm sure she'd like Venice.
She's a lovely girl,
Peter.
She is, sir.
She'd make a lovely wife.
She would, sir.
It's only fair to tell you,
Peter, my mind's made up.
Tomorrow I'm going to ask her.
In the morning,
telephone the jeweler and have him
bring all his engagement rings.
Yes, and his wedding rings too.
She might be willing to choose one.
Of course, sir.
It's a fine night, sir.
The morning after
Will you still recall
the thrill we feel
You must have a lot of friends
that could give you a job.
That'd be a fine friend
who'd give you a job.
No friend of mine had better
try anything like that on me.
Hmph.
What's the matter?
You and your ideas.
You wouldn't give an inch,
would you?
Nope. Would you?
Would you?
No. I wouldn't
give an inch.
Okay, then, let's talk
about something else.
All right. What?
Oh, the stars up there,
for instance.
Boy, those really are stars,
aren't they?
Mm, yes, they are.
I've never seen 'em
so close before.
Maybe they never have been.
Have they, Regi?
Not to me.
Oh!
Oh, now, who's that?
Oh, I forgot.
I have a surprise for you.
Oh, stay here, Regi.
That's the nicest present
I could have.
Uh, good evenin',
Miss Regi.
Hello.
I- I sure had a time
gettin' this thing up here.
Eh, Miss Laura,
uh, she said it's gotta
be back in the mornin'.
All right, Snowflake.
Pick it up on your way
to work tomorrow.
Yes'm.
Oh, wait a minute!
There.
Thank you, ma'am,
Miss Regi.
Oh, that's all right.
Thank you, ma'am.
Thank you, ma'am.
- Hey, what's that thing? A lighthouse?
- No.
- Take your shirt off.
You've got to get sunburned.
- Who me?
Well, who went
to Bermuda? Me?
Aw!
What do I have to do that for?
So you won't go back
looking like a ghost.
That's nice talk.
Take your shirt off.
I'm tired. I want to get to bed.
Is it gonna hurt?
It'll probably skin you.
Well, you have to know how
to operate those machines.
There's nothing to it.
They told me at the shop
50 minutes on each side.
Fifty minutes?
Or was it 15?
Slight difference of 35 minutes
naturally wouldn't make
any difference to you, would it?
Well,just stay under it
until you're done.
No. Nothin' doin'.
Are you gonna get undressed,
or do I have to undress you?
All right. All right.
Come on! I've never
seen anything like it.
Man always afraid
of getting hurt.
Well, come on. Come on.
This too?
Well, you can't sunburn
through that.
I could tell her I wore
a swimming shirt.
You fool.
Now get underneath it.
Now lie down.
Oh, stop squawking.
There.
Get your feet up!
Is it warm?
Do you think
I'll burn or freckle?
I don't know your habits.
You should.
What time does your boat
get in tomorrow?
I don't know.
Don't you think you'd better
do something about looking it up?
Where's the paper?
Oh, Whitey's sitting on it.
That shows you what he thinks
about the whole business.
He's always been
something of a critic.
Excuse me, dear.
I wanna look up
the shipping news.
Hey, don't you think
I've had enough of this sun?
After all, I'm just supposed
to be a visitor in Bermuda,
not a native West Indian.
Would you
like a drink of water?
Yeah.
Mm-hmm.
Please.
Turn over.
Thanks. You know, you'll
make some guy a darn good wife.
It's funny how
people thought we were married.
Yeah. Funny, isn't it?
Well, I don't know.
It isn't so funny at that.
I'll bet we'd make a nice couple.
Have you forgotten we're heels?
You haven't lost sight
of your plans, have you?
Have you?
Certainly not.
Well, neither have I.
