That's quite all right. Just pick off

any little pieces you see, will you?

Ohh. Oh, I'm so sorry.

Oh, this is awful.

Oh, dear. I can't tell you how

sorry I am. Don't mention it.

I break them all the time. Were you

climbing upstairs? Well, I was, yes.

Just a minute. I'll help you.

You're much too kind.

- Quiet!

- Yes.

Now, you put one foot here and one

foot there, and you'll be up in a jiffy.

I'd gladly trade berths with you, but mine has

already been slept in. Oh, no. I wouldn't dream of it.

You've been much too kind

already. Thank you so much. Quiet.!

Is that right? You're standing on

my hand, but otherwise, it's perfect.

I'm so sorry. Don't mention it.

You're as light as a feather.

Thank you. Good night.

Good night.

One there. One over there.

Yeah.

Heave ho.

The... Oh, would you mind

giving my foot a little push?

Gladly.

There.

Thank you so much.

Is something the matter?

Nothing at all.

Everything is fine, thank you.

- Oh. Good night.

- Good night.

She's gone!

Who's gone?

Let's organize a posse!

Hooray!

Where's the dogs? You can't

have a posse without the dogs.

Hooray!

Heigh-ho, the merry-o

a- hunting we will go

A- hunting we will go

A- hunting we will go

A- hunting we will go

There's a posse goin' through the train!

A posse?

I knew it! I knew it!

- Come on, Al!

- A-hunting we will go

- A-hunting we will go

heigh-ho, the merry-o

A- hunting we will go

A- hunting we will go

A- hunting we will go

heigh-ho, the merry-o

A- hunting we will go

Go on! Go on!

- Fellas, they found something!

Hooray! Yippee!

- A- hunting we will go - What's

going on here? Get back to your car!

- Who are you? You're expelled!

- Get back to your car, or I'll call the engine crew...

and have you locked up.!

Who brought those dogs

in here? Get 'em outta here!

Who fired that shot?

Don't you know that's a misdemeanor?

Get back to your car, or I'll wire ahead

and have you all locked up.!

Now, get out of here!

Get back to your car! Go on!

Get 'em out! Get 'em out!

Heigh-ho, the merry-o

a- hunting we will go

- Are you all right?

- A- hunting we will go

F- Fine, thank you.

Heigh-ho, the merry-o

a- hunting we will go

Heigh-ho, the merry-o

Oh, you will, will you? Well, I'll show

you! This is one trip you'll remember.

No, ma'am. What do you mean,

my clothes aren't there?

They're in stateroom "B," in the private

car behind the diner... the club car...

with my ticket, my handbag, my

lipstick and everything. No, ma'am.

"No, ma'am. " You just didn't

look. Oh, yes, ma'am, I looked.

But I didn't see it 'cause it weren't

there. That's why I didn't see it.

I suppose it just blew up.

No, ma'am. We set it out.

You set it out? Yes, ma'am. The

conductor kinda got riled up with 'em,

so he just set it out on a siding at

Rockingham Hamlet for 'em to cool off.

A very pretty little city. Never mind

the geography. Where's the conductor?

He got off at Rawley. That's where

he lives. Last call for breakfast.

Dining car in the rear.

Very pretty countryside there.

You don't seem to understand. My clothes

are lost. Shut up. Last call for breakfast.

No, ma'am. They ain't lost.

Nothin' ever gets lost on a Pullman.

I recollect one time

a lady left a whole pile...

I just want to get into my

clothes. You can't do that.

What do I go around in? A blanket

like an Indian? I got a brown overcoat.

Well, that's very kind of you.

Hello.

Hello.

What are you doing for breakfast?

Well, if you don't ask me,

I won't be doing much.

And if you do ask me, it might make

quite a scandal. Lady lose her clothes.

You lost your clothes?

Why, that's terrible.

And my ticket and my bag

and my shoes and my makeup,

my toothbrush...

only I don't think I had one.

This is disgraceful. I'll certainly write to the

president of the company. How could such a thing happen?

I don't know. My things seem to have gotten

into a car back there somewhere somehow,

and now the car just

doesn't seem to be there.

Not that car full of drunks, I hope, that

they had to disconnect. Oh, perish the thought.

Well, as soon as we come to a town, I

could jump over to a store and jump back.

With a Mother Hubbard.

Well, that's very kind of you.

In the meantime, I suppose

I'll have to lie here in this hat rack.

Anyway, I haven't any money

for you to jump over to a store.

Oh, I have money.

Oh, you have?

Oh, yes. Now, if you could just

get to a store to pick out what you need...

- We got a stretcher in the baggage car.

- Wouldn't that be stretching it a little?

Wait a minute.

Maybe we could borrow some odd pieces

among the lady passengers. Oh, murder.

You take that side, and I'll

take this side. Yes, sir.

And I'll take the neck.

Here, we've got some more.

Or are you satisfied?

Satisfied?

I could lend you my earrings.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Oh! Why, that's lovely.

Now you won't need anything else.

That's what you think.

Yes, ma'am.

If there's one thing I admire, it's a woman

who can whip up something out of nothing.

You should taste my

popovers. I'd love to.

The homely virtues

are so hard to find these days...

a woman who can sew and cook

and bake, even if she doesn't have to.

And knit and...

And weave.

You're joking, but I mean

seriously... That is a woman.

Were you going to buy me

some breakfast,

or would you like me to bake you

something at the table?

I like a witty woman too.

Now, what will you have?

The 35-cent breakfast

seems the best at first glance,

but if you analyze it for solid value,

the 55-center is the one.

I wouldn't want to impose. No. Feel

free to choose anything you like.

There's even a 75-cent breakfast, if

it appeals to you. We might share one.

Wait a minute. With two eggs,

toast and choice of fruit thrown in,

I'm not sure the 75-cent breakfast

isn't the best value after all.

Do we dare? I'm not really

the way you think I am.

It's just my upbringing.

Oh, waiter.

Yes, sir.

Two 75-cent breakfasts, please.

I'll start with a prairie oyster.

Yes, ma'am.

It's a very tempting choice

in the $1.10 breakfast.

Two 75-cent breakfasts. I'll start with a prairie

oyster also, whatever it is. Make mine on the half shell.

Yes, sir. Prairie oysters is

la carte. All right, all right.

They always get the best of you somehow.

Now, you say you have no ticket? That's right.

Naturally, I can't buy you a ticket.

I mean, a perfectly strange young woman.

Naturally. In the first

place, you wouldn't accept it.

In the second place...

There's the expense.

I wasn't actually thinking of that.

Now, I get off atJacksonville.

I guess I do too,

unless they throw me off sooner.

Suppose we go to a store in Jacksonville and buy you the

few things you need, and then you come with me by boat?

You won't have had to accept a ticket from somebody you
