He doesn't mean anything!

I don't care why you did it.

Oh, but, Tony...

So that's the man.

And you promised me.

I know I promised you.

But you of all people should understand.

Why, even in your book you said...

But I don't happen to be

a character in a book.

How did he take it, darling?

How about it?

Oh...

I'm beginning to understand you, Jim.

You're not bad.

You're just not very bright.

Hello, Gerry.

What's the matter? Sick?

No, I'm alright.

I talked to Joan this morning on the phone.

And what do you think?

She called me.

Looks like everything's gonna be alright.

Say, what happened out

there the other night?

Tony no more than got there and he left.

And then you left.

Then everybody left.

So I left.

Howdy, Joan.

Buster, do you mind if I meet you

down at the car?

I want to talk to Gerry.

Sure.

See you soon, Gerry.

I want to tell you, Gerry...

I understand everything now.

I'm sorry about Tony.

I know you are.

And I want to tell you that...

Do you want me to stay home with you?

I don't have to go out with Buster.

I think it would be nice if you would.

You'll be alright?

I'll be home early.

Oh, Miss Trent.

I want you to see something wonderful.

It's just come.

Is this not beautiful?

Are you going to stand around all day

and admire that atrocity?

You should be ashamed of yourself.

I'm getting sick and tired of it.

Why, Aunt Kate, what do you mean?

Here you are in love with a man.

Yet you sit around all day moping

while he sails right out of your life.

Are you sure he's sailing?

Certainly, I called his house.

You didn't.

Of course I did. Why not?

Shame on you!

What did he say?

Nothing.

He wasn't there.

But his servant tells me that

he's sailing for Europe.

We were going together. Now he's gone.

No he hasn't.

He doesn't sail for thirty-five minutes.

Now, if you're any sort of a girl at all,

and if you're worthy of the name of Trent,

you'll get out of here and go after him.

Seize your man, isn't it?

You love him, don't you?

Well, you're always preaching to me

about obeying those instincts.

Why don't you practice what you preach?

But I couldn't make the boat

in thirty-five minutes.

Besides, I haven't anything packed.

Yes, you have!

Now get out! Come on!

Come on, come on, get out of here.

Wait, here's your coat.

Don't forget your purse.

Come on, get your things together.

Oh, my, I'm sure there's

something you've forgotten.

Aunt Kate, my nightgowns, did you pack them?

Goodness, of course.

Here, here, get your coat on.

We haven't any time to lose.

Oh, dear...

I'm not the one that's going!

Here, wear this yourself.

Oh, hurry, hurry...

Now, have you got everything?

Yes...

Aunt Kate, tell Joan about it,

She'll love to know.

I'll tell her.

What is this for?

Oh, I don't know.

Now, have you got your grip?

Hurry now.

Seize your man, isn't it?

Oh, Aunt Kate, you're a darling.

What will I ever do without you?

When you get to Paris

and you still can't do without me...

send for me.

Bye!

Goodbye.

Hello, Aunt Kate. Is Gerry here?

She's out.

I must see her at once.

I started to sail without

her but I couldn't.

I don't care what's happened. I want her.

I said a lot of things I'm sorry for

and I want to tell her.

I'm mad about her, I'm simply crazy...

That's what I said the first time I saw you.

I guess I'd better tell you.

She's gone to the boat looking for you.

Gone to the boat looking for me?

Yes.

Looking for me?

Yes.

Goodbye.

Oh, hurry!

Have your tickets ready.

Tickets, please.

I haven't a ticket.

You can't get aboard without a ticket.

But I'm sailing on this...

You're not sailing on this

boat without a ticket.

But I must sail.

You must not sail unless you have a ticket.

Will you please stand aside.

Show your tickets, please.

Have your tickets ready.

Have your tickets ready, please.

Have your tickets ready.

Have your tickets ready, please.

Have your tickets ready, please.

Have you seen a girl go by here?

Do you think this boat's for men only?

Wait a minute, sir. She... she...

She'd come up to about here on you.

What's the idea?

Honestly, she's a cute little thing.

She looks like this.

Have you got a ticket?

Alright.

Next up...

Just a minute! Here!

If you see her, tell her I'm on board.

I'll tell her.

Tony! Tony!

Tony, where are you?

Tony!

Let go, let go!

I had to get on this ship!

I'm perfectly willing to pay my ticket.

Even if you had a ticket

the cabins can't be shared.

Hello, darling.

Hello, how good!

Don't worry, officer.

She can share my cabin.

I'm sorry, sir. But this

is a first-class boat.

Well, to save the reputation of the boat...

the captain can marry us.

With the lady's consent, of course.

Tony, Tony, darling!
