housekeeping and expect to rough it.

Forget that I said anything. I don't

want to argue. I'm a little nervous.

Nicky, are you still holding those?

Put them in the bedroom closet.

No, honey, you go to the closet

in the hall.

I saved it just for you. Right in there.

- Every one of them, I want to make sure...

- In the dresser.

Geraldine, which closet

did Tacy tell me to take?

Tacy, which closet

did you have saved for Nicky?

Tacy, I can't find the other set of linens.

On top of that big silver box.

Honey, I told you the hall closet.

Well, the hall closet is full of your things.

Oh, well, put your things

there temporarily.

Come on, we've got to shift this thing

around. I've got to change everything.

- Excuse me...

- Look out!

Trailer brakes! Red light! Green light!

Trailer brakes! Red light!

Tacy, I know what the trouble is.

They sent two sets of towels.

Oh, no, that means two sets of linen,

two sets of towels...

- Excuse me, please.

...two sets of everything!

What did I tell you? I told you that!

And then, for a while,

I forgot all about the trailer.

Oh, the stuff went every which way

and I was coming in!

Oh, I just...

Yes. I know what you mean.

- Goodbye!

- Goodbye!

- Goodbye!

- Have a nice time!

- Say goodbye. Say goodbye.

- Goodbye.

- Goodbye!

- Bye, Nicky.

Goodbye!

I'm gonna miss you!

Let's get out of here.

- and don't catch cold at night.

It's gets so cold.

What's the matter?

There's something wrong with the...

Bye!

Bye, everyone!

For heaven's sake, Nicky, come on.

I'm trying to come on.

This keeps dying off. I don't know.

Goodbye!

No, they're not, it's the car!

Come on.

Come on.

Can't we go any faster?

I guess we can, but I'm afraid to.

- Why?

- It scares me.

It scares you? Why?

I don't know why.

It just scares me, that's all.

Yeah, may all your troubles

be little ones!

- Who was that?

- How should I know?

What's the matter with everybody?

- What are they yelling at?

- I don't know.

Oh, they must have put

a sign on the back.

Oh, for heaven's sake.

Well, then, stop. Stop and take it off.

You can't stop one of these things

on the highway.

Well, can't you pull over?

There is no place to pull.

Oh, I can't stand it, Nicky. Please stop.

Look, you talk as if this was a car.

This is a freight train. Forty feet of train.

There's a place to stop.

I can't stop on a curve.

- Watch out for the red light.

- I know.

Watch out! You're going through it!

- I can't...

- Stop! What's the matter?

It won't stop! I don't know.

- Watch out.

- Oh, trailer brake!

Everybody's looking at it.

Oh, honey, watch it.

- What's the matter?

- I don't know.

Thank you so very much.

Tacy, will you get the map

out of the glove compartment, please?

Yep.

I've got to turn here somewhere

if I remember right.

We've got to get on Highway 101.

- Find the right map?

- Yeah, I got it.

Oh, they print these things

all upside down.

- Can you see it?

- Yeah, here it is.

Be sure to tell me when we get there.

Turn right here!

No, no, no! What are you doing?

- I'm turning right!

- But you're going the wrong way.

You should have been

on that road that turned left.

You told me to turn right.

I didn't tell you to turn right.

You said, "Turn right here,"

and I turned right.

You didn't let me finish!

I was trying to tell you to turn left.

What I was trying to say is,

you turn right here, left.

- "Turn right here, left"?

- Exactly.

Have you any conception how much

room it takes to turn this thing around?

We may have to go on

for miles and miles.

Only a couple of more miles,

and we'll be there.

Wait till you see

what I have for your dinner.

Don't tell me

you're going to cook dinner.

I certainly am.

I've got it all planned.

You're gonna take your shower...

...and by the time you've finished,

I'll have dinner ready.

Oh, Nicky, won't it be wonderful?

Our first dinner in our own little home.

- Hey!

- What? What happened?

I almost forgot. I didn't give you

your wedding present yet.

Look there in the glove compartment.

The envelope.

"Mrs. Nicholas Collini." Oh, honey.

Go on, look inside.

What is it?

Well, I always read where

you put the house in your wife's name...

...so there you are. The trailer is yours.

Oh, Nicky, honey! Oh, baby! Thank you!

Oh, that's just wonderful.

- Mr. and Mrs. Collini?

- That's right.

Well, now.

Welcome to Breezeway Trailer Park.

- Thank you.

- I have your space waiting for you.

You don't have to do a thing.

Just step inside and register.

I'll horse your rigging

and get you all hooked up.

- Oh, thanks.

- You're quite welcome.

Mr. Lawfield, lot 33...

...call your mother at her home.

Mrs. Morley, lot 12...

...special delivery for you

at the park office.

Mr. Carmel, lot 21...

...we have a package for you.

- Anything wrong?

- Wrong?

I mean the missus.

She... She turned her ankle.

On that concrete block, I bet.

You poor darling. Don't worry.

I know what to do.

Bring me a pail of hot water

and that bag of Epsom salts.

- Here, let me help.

- Please, I can manage all right.

You can't get her through that way.

Please let me down.

I can walk these few steps.

You'll do nothing of the sort.

Give me her feet.

- I know how to manage this.

- Is someone hurt?

- Broke her ankle.

- Oh, isn't that too bad?

This is Miss Dudley. She's the

big Airway Vagabond next door.

- How do you do?

- How do you do, Mrs. Vagabond?

Now, easy does it. Easy does it there.

Look out. Low bridge.

Where do you want her? On the bed?

Please, I feel fine. Really, I do.

Gentle there.

Gentle, gentle now, don't hurt her.

There we are. Which one is it?

- The left.

- The right.

- Oh, yeah, the left, the left.

- Emma! We're out of Epsom salts...

...but the lady in the Zimmer 36

is bringing some.

We've got to get you off your foot.

You come back here, I'll fix you up.

- Come in, Maude.

- I brought the Epsom salts.

- Ladies, this is Miss Barrett.

- Nick Collini, Mrs. Collini.

- How do you do?

- I'm pleased to meet you.

Oh, golly, what a beautiful rig this is.

Will you look at these drapes?

Not now, Maude.

We've got to make this girl comfortable.

Now, Miss Dudley, you take that arm,

Maude, you take that one.

Now, easy, easy.

Don't let her step on it. Take it easy.

Easy, girls. Now watch that step.

Watch that step! Watch it, watch it!

Give me it! Give me that.

I got the hot water.

Oh, Mrs. Hittaway is a wonder!

Any sickness or trouble,

why, she's there before the doctor.

Mr. Collini!

Hey, I hear you had a nasty accident.

Oh, it was really nothing, Nothing at all.

How about seeing a doctor?

We got a doctor on row 3.

Really, it's not necessary.

You're very kind.

Those kids haven't had supper.

Run over and bring the casserole.

- Do her good to have some munchables.

- We wouldn't think of it.

You go right ahead, Joe.

I'd like to know what a trailerite's good

for, if it's not to help another trailerite!
