Stop the car.
I didn't even touch you.
No, stop the car.
There's a man back there.
So what?
He wants a lift.
Oh, I get it.
Just brimming over
With the milk of human kindness.
Mimi swift,
Friend of the people, huh?
Okay.
You want a lift, pop?
Well, I certainly would
Appreciate it. Hop in.
Oh, thank you
Very much.
It's a big lift to me,
You know?
'Cause I got
Quite a distance to go.
Well, I'm mighty obliged
To you, sir.
All right.
Where you bound?
Well, I was headed
For new rochelle.
New rochelle, it is.
Jimmy, that's miles.
He's your friend.
You been hiking long?
About three days.
I live in baltimore.
Baltimore?
Yes.
That's a city
In the united states.
She's not very bright.
Is that so?
I'm going to see
My daughter.
I haven't seen her
Since she got married.
Almost a year ago now.
How old is she?
She's, uh - let me see -
Uh, 17.
Yessum.
Well, I'm 17, too.
Is that so?
I'd have took your old lady
To be more than 17, sir.
Oh, well,
These brunettes fade early.
You two got any children?
Only two - twins.
A couple of fine boys,
If I do say it myself.
That so?
Ha. My daughter just had a boy.
That's why I'm going up
To new rochelle.
What do you call your boys?
John doe and richard roe.
John's five minutes older
Than richard,
But you'd never know it.
I expect
It'll be nip and tuck
Between them
The rest of their lives.
Hey, mother, why didn't
We call them nip and tuck?
You know
How I hate family names.
Darling, be careful.
Remember your weak throat. Mm.
I reckon your wife takes
Mighty good care of you, sir.
Wife?
We're not married.
Not married?
But you said -
No.
We're just pals.
Oh.
Well, that's nice.
You see, mother?
See?
Sure, she sees.
What makes you think
I see?
Explain it to her,
Jimmy.
Well, it's like this.
That's enough, jimmy.
When anything starts,
"well, it's like this,"
You can't explain it.
Oh, mother.
All you've said is, you've both
Come to a great understanding -
There's no such thing
As love.
That's right.
You've put it
Out of your lives.
Friendship rules triumphant.
How can you sit there
And not get excited
Over all this, meg?
Why, mimi,
Your own daughter -
She's come out
Of the ether.
She's through
With all that romantic mush.
She isn't fooled by it
Anymore.
Why, she's one woman
In a million.
She's a real person now.
Mimi, look at jimmy.
Hmm?
Not me. Him.
Jimmy, look at mimi.
What is all this?
Look at her.
Look at her eyes -
They're sparkling.
Well, why not?
You idiots, don't you know love
When you see it?
Mother, stop it.
It isn't what you say.
This isn't like you,
Meg.
I can't help it.
You look so foolish.
Jimmy, make her stop it.
Meg, behave yourself.
All right.
I apologize.
Honest, I do.
I...
I'll see
About your breakfast.
It's ridiculous.
It's idiotic.
What came over her?
I don't know.
It was all so swell.
And now everything's spoiled,
Isn't it?
Sure.
I guess so.
That is -
Of course it is.
Well, if you say so.
What do you mean?
Well, I didn't
Say anything.
Well, you - you didn't
Not say anything.
What are you grinning about?
Hey, mimi, what if meg's
What?
Why, jimmy,
You don't mean -
I mean,
You don't think I...
Gee whiz!
Hey, wait a minute.
Come here.
Look at that.
Look at him.
Well?
What do you feel?
Calm.
Uh-huh.
What else?
And I'm hungry.
That'll do.
Come here.
How do you feel now?
Well...
Would you mind
Trying that again?
Does that excite you?
Well...
I'm not hungry anymore.
That did it!
The end
Of a beautiful friendship.
