-Where's my wrap? l'm leaving.

-Sit down and l'll help you look.

lt's dark outside.

-A lady unescorted--

-l'd rather be alone.

-Good morning, Ellie.

-Good morning.

l have a present for you.

You don't have to give me presents.

l like you because you're just you.

But this is a present you can share.

-ls it a doll?

-No.

-ls it a puppy?

-lt's bigger than a puppy.

-That's smaller than a puppy.

-What it belongs to is bigger.

lt's all yours.

-That belongs to me?

-Yep. You got to get somebody to drive it.

lt's beautiful. Can l give it to my Pop?

He can drive.

Say, that's a good idea.

Pop, Annie, Debbie! Everybody!

Look what Mr. Steve bought for us.

There you go, honey. Come on, girls.

And there's enough groceries in here

to last you a month.

Aren't you going to give him a note

for the car, Pop?

Sure, Ellie.

To tell you the truth,

l'm so shook up, l don't think l could write.

Girls, won't you say thank you

to Mr. Grayson and Mr. Donford?

-Thank you.

-You're welcome.

Annie, say thank you to Mr. Grayson, now.

Thank you.

Okay, girls, let's go around

and look at the car now.

l just don't know what to say.

-You know something, Mr. Steve?

-What's that?

l wish l were big enough to marry you.

We're nearly at the end of

one of the finest races l've ever seen...

here at Charlotte Motor Speedway...

with a winner's purse of $8,500

plus accessory money.

Here's Steve Grayson, Car Number 6,

into Turn 1.

Right with him, in Car Number 43,

Paul Dado.

These two have been cleaning up

on all the tracks this year.

Out of Turn 4 they come, side by side.

Grayson's the leader by inches....

Out of the turn,

into the main straightaway.

This will be the white flag.

One more to go!

lnto the wall! And he's upside-down.

And the checkered flag!

Steve Grayson the winner!

The total purse close to $9,500!

Paul Dado second in the 43 car.

And in for third, Car Number 14.

Mr. Hepworth, he won again. Over $9,000.

He did?

So far, he's the top money winner

on the circuit.

Well, money's what we're interested in.

He's sure making a lot of it.

Good.

l love to hear good news.

l'll keep in touch. Bye.

Now down to the winner's circle.

Mr. Steve Grayson,

may l congratulate you...

on winning the Charlotte Speedway 250.

Thank you.

lsn't there something else

that goes with it?

Of course.

Have you made up your minds yet?

Have you made up your minds yet?

The lady and l will have a steak sandwich,

medium-rare, please.

Steak sandwich, medium-rare.

Hold the onions, please.

''Hold the onions.'' How thoughtful.

Baked or French fried potatoes?

Tomatoes.

-Tomatoes.

-No dressing.

-Tomato-wise, l mean.

-No dressing, tomato....

Oh, that's cute.

What dressing

would you like on your salad, please?

-What do you have?

-We have French, Thousand lsland...

Roquefort, oil and....

-Vinegar?

-Vinegar, yeah.

Thank you.

l'll have Roquefort.

That will be 35 cents extra.

lt's okay. She can have

all the Roquefort she wants.

That's wonderful.

He doesn't care if it costs extra.

My poor boyfriend, he's so poor

he can't afford anything extra.

He needs all his money for school.

He's still got four more years to go...

before he becomes a registered nurse.

Nurse?

Male, that is.

l'll get your order

with the extra Roquefort.

Thank you.

Problems.

l think she really loves the guy.

l wonder what l can do to help.

The ceremony is really a rocker.

Bye! Thank you!

Have a happy, happy!

Don't forget to take the You Drive back.

-Your bouquet.

-No, you caught it.

And you know what they say

about catching the bridal bouquet.

-That's when it's thrown by the bride.

-l was just giving it a little assist.

Hey, wait a minute.

We can't let this happen.

l'm sure we can't,

whatever we're talking about.

The bouquet. Look at the way

the petals are drooping. They're in a coma.

-What do you suggest, Doctor?

-We got to get it in some water.

-Where should we go?

-l know you'll think of something.

My place is too far, so let's go to yours.

-See? l knew you'd think of a place.

-But we gotta hurry before it's too late.

There he goes with

that put-the-flowers-in-the-vase bit.

l'll break the vase over your silly head.

lf l were a girl,

l'd let the measles in before letting him in.

-Don't stop now. You're killing me.

-You know what else she should do?

She should pile her furniture

against the door.

Now, miss, if you want someone

who's mucho charming...

who's a champion furniture pusher, l'll....

She's gone.

-Why did they call me in?

-You've been making it big recently.

They call in everyone

over a certain income. lt's just routine.

Yeah? Well, l'm worried.

You've got nothing to norry--

Nothing to worry about, Mac.

lt's like your friend says.

lt's just routine.

Thanks.

You had my income tax made out

by a reliable man, right?

-Well, of course.

-Of course what?

l had your income tax made out

by a reliable man.

You're looking me straight in the eye.

That means you're lying.

-Boy, l'm in trouble.

-No, you're not.

-Then why am l here?

-Maybe they just want to get acquainted.

-Knock it off.

-You know something?

-You're scared.

-You better believe it.

Just like everybody else in this room.

These tax people are nice, warm,

friendly people.

Thank you, Mr. Hepworth.

See how relaxed he is?

All right, sir. lt's all right.

You'll be just fine.

You'll be all right, sir.

We'll get you a drink of water.

Mr. Steven Grayson, please.

l'm Mr. Grayson. This is Mr. Donford.

l'm Mr. Hepworth.

Well, you don't need me.

Come with me, please.

Please be seated, gentlemen.

Would you care for anything:

cigarettes, cigars, soft drink?

A straight scotch with a gin chaser.

No, thank you, sir.

We won't have anything.

Quite an interesting tax return

you made out, Mr. Grayson.

l made out.

-You made out the form, Mr. Donford?

-All by myself.

Well, congratulations, Mr. Donford.

l'd like to shake your hand.

lt is the most ridiculous...

impossible, jumbled, disorganized return...

l have ever seen in all my 30 years.

-l ought to break you in half.

-You'd then have two very short friends.

Funny.

You have a great many deductions
