I don't want to meet any people. But

these people are charming, he says.

Oh, forgive me,Johnny,

if you can.

I'm such a silly girl.

I'm spoiled. It's my temper.

I don't deserve any happiness.

You shouldn't take me back.

- There's no need for tears.

- It'll never happen again.

I was just upset. I picked a quarrel

and he acted like a lamb, a perfect lamb.

Oh,Johnny, please say

you'll forgive me. Please!

Well, say something.

All right, I will.

I'll say something. This girl...

This girl is not...

For heaven's sake,

say you'll forgive her!

Mr. Reynolds!

Your condition!

Dad, don't get excited!

Say it!

All right! I forgive her!

That's better.

Dad, you all right?

Yes! Yes, yes, yes.

Don't you think you'd

better lie down? Go away!

I like a girl with spirit. To tell you

the truth, I thought you were wishy-washy.

Yes, I did.

To have the courage to ask for

forgiveness is a great quali...

What was it you called me?

Pompous? Self-indulgent?

"Imitation of a dictator. "

It's true. It's me all over.

And you'll do well to correct

those faults in yourself, me boy!

If you don't watch out,

you'll grow up to bejust like me.

Been meaning to warn you

about that for years.

Go on, make it up with him.

Kiss him.

Kiss him? Of course, you know

why lovers quarrel, don't you?

Simple.

Fun of making it up.

Aaah!

Aaah.! Aah.!

Mm.

Ow, my... Aaah!

Let me up. Let me go. Aah!

Now,Johnny, let me up. Now,

please... Johnny! Ha-ha.

Johnny.

Please, don't do that,Johnny.

Do what? This?

Aah! Stop it!

Let me up,Johnny! Please let

me go! Ha-ha-ha-ha! Don't!

Johnny let me go.! Stop it.!

Johnny.! Please.!

Please, let me go.!

Stop it.!

Johnny.!

Stop it.!

Johnny.!

Please,John...

Please,John...

Cigar?

I'll help you find one.

Don't bother, dear.

It's no bother at all.

He said, " Don't bother, dear. "

Aaah!

Going around pinching people,

at your age.

When I get about three seconds older,

I'm gonna start punching people.

You dirty little... Come here! Hey!

Come here.!

Say.! Hey.! Oh.!

Are you hurt?

Let me go!

Oh, no, you don't!

Hey, come here.

I told you I wanted to sing

Saturday night and I'm going to.

Over my dead body.

I'll tell your father

the truth after Saturday night.

I'd tell him right now if I wasn't

afraid the shock would kill him.

After the party I'll disappear, I promise

and then you can have Gloria for good.

That'll be great after you've been

introduced to half of New York as my fiance.

All I want

is this one chance.

If I could only get my hands on...

You hear something snap, don't

turn around. It'll be your neck.

You have to

catch me first.

Who's coming Saturday?

Huh?

I said, who'll be here

Saturday night? Who'll be here?

Oh, everybody, everybody. Stokowski?

Oh,yes, yes, of course. Heifetz too?

There's a guest list in my desk in the

library if you'd care to look it over.

This is the song I'm going to sing.

Wanna hear it?

I'd love to.

Jonathan, I want you

to meet two old friends of mine,

Mrs. Smith and her daughter,

Miss Smith.

How do you do?

How do you do?

How do you do?

Won't you sit down, Mrs., uh...

Smith. Smith. Won't you sit down?

Uh, no, thank you, we just

stopped in to say hello. Hello.

Oh, well, oh, uh, um...

C- Can't you stay

for just a minute?

Oh, no. We're in

a dreadful hurry, really.

Oh, I... I beg your pardon.

This is Miss Gloria Pennington,

my son's fiance.

How do you do?

Oh, I'm sorry, we can't stay.

We're on our way to...

to, uh... To a horse show.

Horse show at this time of the year?

Where?

Yes. Uh... Dr. Harvey

hasn't told us. Where is it?

Huh? Oh, oh, it's a private

horse show at a friend's house.

Afraid I couldn't offer you

anything as entertaining as that.

My daughter simply

adores horses.

So nice to have seen all of

you. Come, Mother. Yes, dear.

We've had a nice visit.

At it again, huh? Good-bye.

Excuse me.

I'll see them to their car.

Gloria, I had nothing to do with this.

That girl forced me into it.

Have you a handkerchief?

Handkerchief? Yes.

But don't cry, dear.

I won't.

Glor...

Glo...

Well, good night, my dear.

Good night.

Good night.

Think I'll go to bed.

Good night,Johnny.

Good night, Dad.

Fine,just fine,

the way you handle things.

Your wrap, miss?

Hmm? Oh, please.

Yes, come in.

I... I wonder if I could talk to you

for a few minutes.

Of course, my dear.

What is it?

Well, I, uh... I'll ring for

you when I need you, Roberts.

Very well, sir. Excuse

me. Sit down, my dear.

Is anything troubling you?

Well, yes. You see...

I don't know how to begin.

Is it as difficult as that?

It's about...

Before you start, would you mind

getting me one of those pills?

On the table. Over there.

That's right, the little yellow bottle.

These?

Yes. I'd better take one.

- Aren't you feeling well?

- Does bother me a little bit.

But I've got to expect it,

though, at my time of life.

Would you get me a glass

of water, dear? Water? Yes.

There's the pitcher.

Must have been those friends

of Dr. Harvey's.

I expect he'd have friends

like that. Thank you.

Better?

Oh, oh, yes.

I'm quite all right.

Nothing to worry...

It's only the fire.

Huh? Oh, oh.

The least excitement

brings it on.

I'm always afraid they'll put me back

in that overstuffed straight jacket.

You'll be all right,

I'm sure.

Few more days with you

and I will be.

What are you going to wear

for the party? The party?

Have you got your dress?

Yes, but...

What color is it? Black. I

think I'd better be going.

We'd be the handsomest couple there

if I hadn't lost my waistline.

This is ridiculous.

Good night, dear.

Good night.

Good night.

Good night, my dear.

It is my firm conviction Mrs.

Pennington is a medical freak.

I was watching her, and no normal person can

talk as long as she does without taking a breath.

For a second I thought you

weren't going to calm them down.

You were almost an ex-fiance.

Yeah, it was pretty close...

Where have you been? You might

go up. He could be feeling better.

You don't mean...

He...

What have you been up to? I

haven't been up to anything.

You did something up there.

I tried, but I couldn't.
