why, that's all right too.

We'll both

be there together.

Well, that wins.

I guess now

I'm gonna get a job.

I guess I'd be anything

you want, Toni,

if you love me that much.

Don't say it

unless you mean it.

Who do you love?

Daddy. Something's caught.

And I've been standing

on my head, almost.

Let me do it.

Thank you.

I am very glad to meet you.

I guess I should have

said that at the station.

And so should I.

I'm sorry.

Well, well, well.

That's better.

We're gonna have

a lot of fun, we three.

No. I mean, uh...

Well, that is...

But, Toni, you know.

One moment,

Mrs. Bradbury.

Are you Mr. Day?

Right.

Ah, glad

somebody knows it.

Was it you who rented a house

yesterday to a Mrs. Bradbury?

I'll say I did, and it

took me all day to do it.

Well, the day wasn't long

enough. You didn't rent it.

It's got a blue tile bathroom,

and she doesn't want it.

Stop kidding. Let her do the

kidding. She's on the phone now.

Hello!

Yes, Mrs. Bradbury.

Uh, well, I didn't notice

it was blue either,

but isn't that all right?

Uh, I don't think

I understand, Mrs. Bradbury.

Why can't you bathe in blue

surroundings? Isn't the sea blue?

Well, what color

were you looking for?

You prefer pink?

But, uh,

what's the other color?

Well, that's a fine house

you're fixing up, Mrs. Bradbury.

After all, a bathroom's a

bathroom. You don't live in it.

Oh, yes, yes.

We have others. I guess.

Why don't...

Well, I don't know exactly.

Uh, I'm going

out to lunch now.

Well, maybe.

Later sometime.

Yes. I'll call you.

Yes.

Just as soon as

I get around to it. Yes.

Good-bye.

Ah, hello.

Oh, hello, Mr. Evans.

How are ya?

Oh, no. No, no. Not

Mr. Evans. Uncle Felix.

Well, what are you doing down

here? How did you find me?

Oh, I... I just

happened to be here.

And yesterday I was passing by

when you left.

I thought it was you,

but I wasn't quite sure.

And how's my little Pennie,

huh?

Never better.

Delightful child.

That reminds me. I promised to

buy her a present on the boat.

I wonder if you'll do me a favor and

come with me while I get it for her now.

I don't know. It's bothered me quite

a bit. She's forgotten all about that.

I haven't.

Now, come along.

Come along, and then we'll

have a spot of lunch afterwards.

Well, all right.

Now look. Oh, that's too good

for her. It's got a diamond.

Yes, I know.

That's just what I want.

Oh, I'm a nut on diamonds. Besides,

nothing's too good for Pennie.

It'll certainly make a hit.

I- I'll take that one.

Tres ben, monsieur.

About half a carat,

that diamond.

Wouldn't you say? Just

about. Oui, monseur.

And a Blue Ridge, if I'm

not mistaken. Ou, monsieur.

I see you know something

about diamonds.

As a matter of fact,

I do.

A man must know

about something.

One man may know about,

uh, gold mines...

and, uh, another man

may know about diamonds.

Now, there.

There's a tray of diamonds.

Right again.

I think some of these...

are the finest stones

I've ever seen.

Yes.

A genuineJager.

Ou, monsieur.

Look, Day. It's all right. Even

I can tell it's pretty good.

Pretty good?

Pretty good is right.

Yeah.

Lend me your handkerchief

for a moment, will you?

Here, thank you.

Now look.

Look at it now.

Mmm, what a sweetheart.

A sweetheart,

a companion and a...

That's about all there is

to it, monsieur.

I will wrap this up.

Oh, no, no, no. Don't bother.

I'll take it just as it is.

There it is.

And thank you.

Not at all, my dear boy. Not at all.

Now what about that spot of lunch?

I... Oh.

What's the trouble? Don't you

hate to get something in your eye?

What are you looking for? A

handkerchief? Here. You haven't got one.

Oh, thank you.

Huh. And what is that?

That's a diamond.

A few minutes ago,

it was reposing in its tray.

Now in its place

is another diamond,

but not a genuineJager.

I didn't think that the salesman

would notice the difference,

but, uh, if he had,

this little sparkler would have

been found upon you, my dear boy,

and not upon your

dear, old Uncle Felix.

I don't get one item.

Why did you let me put it over

on you in New York?

Because I was quite sure that one

day I would get my money back...

with interest.

Suppose you turn right around and

repeat that slight-of-hand act.

There's nothing in my eye, and if I'm

not mistaken, that's a cop down there.

You don't want to talk

to a cop anymore than I do.

And that is why, my dear

boy, I let you swindle me.

So when this day came, you

couldn't call a cop. Hmm.

Now, what about that lunch?

Well, let's stop at the casino

first and get a drink.

You're talking my language

more every moment.

Well, here's

mud in your eye.

You know, I never

knew what that meant.

Well, I didn't either

until... today.

Down the hatch.

Yes.

So you really retired?

I have.

Happy?

Very.

And you make, uh, what?

Thirty-five a week.

Well, a man can live on that. Sure.

Have you made many friends

since you've been here?

No, not many. Oh, that's

a pity. Lovely people.

Tell me.

Do you, by any chance,

know that woman over there?

No.

She seems the type of woman that

might interest me a great deal.

An unusual personality.

I can see it from here.

Yes, I can see it too.

I should like to meet her

very much indeed.

I think we might have

a great many tastes in common.

Jewels, for instance.

Can't you see us at a little

table discussing her jewels?

Well, I'm thinking the

jewels might get pretty bored.

I don't think they'd

be around very long.

Oh, that's charming!

We'll have another on that.

Bartender?

Yes, sir?

What has happened?

There must be thieves about.

Huh?

No, no. That isn't what I told you.

That's where you always go wrong.

That's exactly what you told me.

Now don't tell me wrong then.

Don't show me anymore.

I want to do t all myself.

There's just no use at all.

You'll never get it,

and you just won't listen.

Here, here, Pennie. You

shouldn't talk like that.

Why shouldn't she? And what business

is it of yours? Daddy! Daddy!

So, you're her father.

That's different.

You're Mrs. Crane,

aren't you?

I am.

How did you know?

Why, Pennie, she must have... Yes,

she should have. How nice. So is she.

Well, I must go. Should have

gone long ago, if I had any sense.

Good-bye, old-timer.

Good-bye. And you practice! I will.

Good-bye.

Good-bye.

It's time to go to bed,

dear. Mmm, all right.

No,

I meant Pennie.

Is it really? Doesn't the time

go fast? It certainly does.

Good night, Daddy.

Good night, sweetheart.

Good night, Toni.

Good night, darling.

Don't forget, Daddy.

I won't.

- Honor bright?

- Honor bright.

Forget what, dear? Daddy's

coming in and wash my back.

Good night.

Good night.

Good night.

Jerry.

Yes, dear.

It's all right

about Pennie's school?

The money, I mean.

We stll have t?

Uh, yes.

Of course, dear.

What I mean is, it isn't too

expensive, the one we picked out, is it?

It'll be all right. A model father's got

to give his child the best, doesn't he?
