a man is going to do before he does it.
We're all alone really, aren't we?
And yet, we're surrounded by people.
It's because you and I together
make something entirely different...
...from either of us
when we're separated.
A new element.
Like in chemistry.
We'll always be alone...
...as long as we're together.
How long has Nijinsky over there
rented the joint for?
Five a. M.
That's when some dance
in Philadelphia ends.
It's 5:
00.It's 5:
00.Well, the assembly's over.
Oh, I don't ever want it to stop.
How about some scrambled eggs,
little sausages...
...and champagne?
Is that traditional at the assembly?
From the beginning.
The eggs and sausages were added
in 1897. Thank you.
All I'm asking is that the orchestra
come up to my room...
...and play for us while we have eggs.
Dear sir, we have other guests
in the hotel, and it's early.
I only want soft music.
Show him how softly you can play.
There, you see?
Now very softly.
I'm sorry, Mr. Strafford.
What a town.
Come on, boys. Bring the wine.
And to think that just 24 hours ago...
...this day started out like
any other old day in the year.
Can you think of anybody
we haven't drunk to?
Nobody left but strangers.
Very well, to the people we don't know.
In five minutes,
the alarm will be going off.
Shut it off. I'm awake.
See this?
What is it, an heirloom?
It was my great-grandmother's.
It's the symbol of eternal life,
from her to me...
...and you...
...to those that come after us, forever.
It's our family.
You better put it away then
if it's family stuff.
Boys...
...can you play
"Tales from the Vienna Woods"?
But feebly.
I don't know why I should
need all this background, but, Kitty...
...will you marry me?
Will you?
No, darling.
Don't you love me?
But you won't marry me?
Why not?
Well, Wyn, darling...
...we're happy now, aren't we?
I mean here, this minute.
Of course we are.
But do you know why?
Because... Because we love each other.
Because we're together.
No, that's not it.
It's because we're not in Philadelphia.
Honey, this is no time for joking.
In New York, we're happy,
at Pocono, we're happy.
In Seattle, in New Orleans,
in Dallas, Texas, we could be happy.
But not in Philadelphia.
Everywhere else, we're just
two people in love.
A tall, good-natured guy
and a sassy mick...
...minding our own business
and bothering nobody.
You see what I mean?
- Listen, Kitty...
- In Philadelphia, you're Darby Mill...
...and I'm Griscom Street.
We're two addresses...
...23 miles and 500 light-years apart.
Griscom Street could stand it...
...but not Darby Mill.
Oh, Wyn, darling, I wish I could
see you happy that way...
...but I just can't.
And is that all?
Well, we're both the same color,
if that's what you mean.
Boys, "The Sidewalks of New York."
"Sidewalks of New York."
- Hey, what's the idea?
- It's all fixed.
That's our theme song now.
We're New Yorkers.
Both of us.
Oh, Wyn, you're not kidding?
No, darling, I really mean it.
I wish you weren't so right
about all that in Philadelphia...
...but you are...
...so that's the end of it.
This is where we'll live,
where we'll be happy.
Wyn, I'm so happy now.
I'm so happy I can't tell you how much.
They don't know it...
...but they're wedding bells...
...for us.
No Main Line?
No Philadelphia?
Just you and me?
Me and you.
Oh, dear God...
...don't ring the alarm clock now...
...for just a little while.
But the alarm did ring.
It had a funny little jangle, and you seemed
to hear it all the way back to Philadelphia.
You couldn't very well say no
when Wyn wanted to go back...
...just long enough to tell his family.
So there you were,
Mr. And Mrs. Wynnewood Strafford VI...
...coming home
to announce their marriage.
- You aren't getting scared, are you?
- Leave it to me, honey.
All right, but don't forget this
is the big one. Don't fumble it.
After you, Mrs. Strafford.
Would you mind saying that again?
I said, "After you, Mrs. Strafford."
Thank you.
- Harrison.
- Good afternoon, Mr. Strafford.
Where's Mother?
The family's taking tea
in the drawing room, sir.
Don't let Uncle Kennett scare you.
He's an old Quaker banker and only knows
three words, "thee," "thou" and "no."
Well, get ready. Here goes the bell.
- Hello, everybody.
- Wyn, dear, come in.
- Mother, you remember Kitty.
- Indeed I do.
- It's so nice to see you again, Miss Foyle.
- Thank you.
- And you remember my grandmother.
- Why, yes.
And Aunt Jessica.
- Uncle Edgar and Uncle Kennett.
- Miss Foyle.
The fact is, the name
isn't Foyle anymore.
It's Strafford.
Kitty and I have been married.
Well, why doesn't somebody
say something?
Or is she so beautiful
- Congratulations, my boy.
- Yes, yes, of course, Wyn. Congratulations.
Well, shall we all sit down?
- Will you have tea?
- No, thank you.
- Wyn?
- No, Mother.
- When were you married?
- Last Saturday.
- I see.
- I thought he was going to wait a year.
Yes, Mother.
Wyn had told us
how much he loved you...
...and we couldn't have been happier,
for his sake.
Do the papers know about this?
I don't know. I don't suppose so.
We'll have the Darby Mill house
redecorated for them.
Tell them our plans, Wyn.
Of course, Kitty, this would have been
so much more simple...
...if Wyn hadn't been quite so impetuous.
I thought you were going
to send her to school first?
You do understand, of course,
that above everything else...
...we want your happiness, and his.
That's foremost
in all our thoughts, isn't it?
- Naturally.
- Oh, naturally, of course, of course.
I don't mean to be rude...
...but would somebody please tell me
what you all are driving at?
- Well, it's like this, my dear...
- Now, Mother, please.
You see, honey. I had promised them
that we wouldn't be married for a year.
Mother was going to take you
under her wing and, well, prepare you.
Prepare me?
Prepare me for what?
Well, you know, finishing school,
and then later...
School?
- Are you kidding me?
- It needn't be school.
It can still be arranged.
Later on, when we've had an opportunity
to acquaint her with our friends...
...we can still have a proper wedding.
- Certainly.
And what do you call what
we've just done? A rehearsal?
Now, wait a minute...
I do realize that we all sound
most frightfully snobbish.
But, my dear, we realize too
that you have not been accustomed...
...to the kind of life that you
will have to lead with Wyn.
- So we'd planned to have...
- What about our plans?
Aren't you going to tell them?
What's the matter, doesn't she
want to go to school?
School is out, definitely.
I'm a big girl now.
Wyn and I are not
going to live in Philadelphia.
You're not the only ones
that want us happy...
...and we couldn't be in Philadelphia.
I'm Griscom Street and he's Main Line,
and we both know it.
In Philadelphia, that's fatal.
Anywhere else in the whole world,
