We've been waiting
some time.
Hey! Hey, pop!
Excuse me, please.
I told you, no...
Oh.
Come in, Martin.
Your bouquet, Miss Diana.
Thank you, Martin.
This is a memorable day.

RALPH:
This is utterly ridiculous...
I hope they didn't go to
a lot of trouble for these
because I won't need them!
You can't just cancel
everything with all those
people downstairs.
Oh, I know it's awful,
Uncle Ralph,
but it's better than
being unappy for the rest
of my life, isn't it?
Dr. Blucher, can't you
do something with her?
You're her psychiatrist.
I called you
because I thought
I don't believe
Miss Dillwood wants
my advice in this matter.
I do, Dr. Blucher.
You're the best psychiatrist
I ever had.
Miss Dillwood, in my opinion
you've allowed yourself to
become alarmed over nothing.
It's perfectly natural
for a girl to have doubts
before getting married.
In your case, it certainly
isn't surprising. After all,
you've been engaged six times.
Officially. If you want
the unofficial total,
you'll need an adding machine.
You've always
been indecisive.
You've never been able
to make up your mind about
anything, much less a husband.
I think your behavior
verges on the idiotic.
What do you want me to do?
Marry a man who just
isn't right for me?
Of course he's right!
He's got everything:
Money, position,
partner in one of the best
law firms in New York,
and his father and I were
at Harvard together.
That's a fine recommendation.
You must have thought
he was right when you
agreed to marry him.
Just why did you do that,
Miss Dillwood?
Well, there didn't seem to be
Then why do you
change your mind now?
Well, it's the way he coughs.
Before he says anything
he always barks,
(IMITATES FOX BARKING)
Like a fox.
Oh, that's absurd, a cough.
Why, after you've been
married a few days
you wouldn't even notice it.
My third wife had a maddening
I entered the room,
but after about six months
I wasrt even aware
that she did.
she divorced you.
That remark was
in very bad taste.
Well, I didn't mean
to be nasty, Uncle Ralph,
but Aunt Martha was
the nicest wife you had,
and you should've
hung on to her.
Miss Dillwood, I don't
think anything as trivial
as your fianc's cough
is the real reason
for your indecision.
Isn't it?
That's just an excuse.
The truth is you're so afraid
of a big step like marriage
that you cling
to the security of
your spinsterhood.
Now, Dr. Blucher,
would you describe a girl
of 26 as a spinster?
Girl of what?
I use the word advisedly,
Miss Dillwood. I think
it's time you were married.
It might have a very
soothing effect on you.
I can get that
from an aspirin.
I was hoping for something
more... Something exciting,
something...
That's a pleasant,
romantic dream,
but it's just an illusion.
marriage is a solid,
substantial relationship,
and a husband
who can be your friend.
That's absolutely true.
There's nothing like
a husband and wife
being friends.
The cure for indecision
is decision, Miss Dillwood.
You decided to get married.
Go ahead with it.
Plunge into it.
MINISTER:
Henry,wilt thou have this woman
to be thy wedded wife,
so long as you
both shall live?
(HENRY CLEARS THROAT)
I will.
Diana, wilt thou have this man
to be thy wedded husband,
so long as you
both shall live?
I...
I will.
I now pronounce you
man and wife.
(CLEARS THROAT)
Henry, couldn't we...
Couldrt we go for
a walk in the park?
It's such a lovely evening.
But it looks like rain.
Oh, but I love
to walk in the rain.
Come on, let's.
We're leaving for Bermuda
in the morning.
We ought to get some rest.
(KNOCKING ON DOOR)
But think of all the time
that we'll...
(INAUDIBLE)
Diana,
it's too late and...
May I help you, sir?
That's fine.
Oh, good evening, sir.
Hello.
I'd like to see Mr. Hebert.
Mr. Hebert is off duty now.
He comes on at midnight
this week.
Oh, I see.
Good evening.
My name is Marvin Payne.
Mr. Hebert's a personal
friend of mine.
He always lets me stay here
when I come to New York.
Well, I'm sorry.
We haven't anything
available.
use the wedding suite.
Oh, I'm afraid
that's impossible.
You see...
What time's your first
wedding in the morning?
Well, at 9:
00,but we couldn't possibly...
I'll be out by 7:00.
Well, I suggest
that you come back
when Mr. Hebert is here.
Look, look,
I'm awful tired.
I just flew an airplane
all the way from California.
I've got to get up
in the morning and fly it
all the way back again.
Now, couldn't you sort of
take my word for it?
Pardon me.
I'll speak to
our Mr. Thrush.
Very well, Mr. Payne.
Here you are.
The rate of
that suite is $35.
Well, Mr. Hebert always
gives me a special rate,
you know, five bucks?
You know, I'll be out
early in the morning.
Pardon me, Mr. Payne.
Very well, Mr. Payne,
the special rate.
Subject to Mr. Hebert's
approval, of course.
Oh, sure, sure, sure.
(RINGS BELL)
Front, please.
2305 for this gentleman.
Thank you. Thank you.
I've got
a very small bag here.
Reservation for Benson,
please.
May I help you, sir?
Lift that, will you?
It's not very heavy,
is it?
No, sir.
Well, I can carry it.
BOTH:
Twenty-three.Henry. Henry...
Yes?
Do you think we should...
Should what?
Go up now?
Of course.
Twenty-three, please.
Henry, couldn't
we go to the movies
or a night club or...
Really, my dear,
it's quite late.
Well, I was thinking
we'd be in time for
the last show at the Copa.
We could dispense
with a show tonight.
But I'd rather...
Will you come along?
We'll talk about it inside.
Henry, I...
Hey! Wait a minute.
The young lady
doesn't seem to want
to go with you.
I beg your pardon?
Now, look, you're not
supposed to drag girls
into hotel rooms.
Not if they don't want
to be dragged, that is.
Will you please
go away?
No, I don't
think I will.
Very well.
If you insist...
(THUDDING)
Oh, I'm sorry.
I didn't mean for
anyone to get hurt.
Come along.
Isn't this nice?
Look at that view.
Marvelous!
Oh, thank you
very much.
Will that be all, sir?
Thank you. Good night, sir.
Good night. Good night.
Good night!
Well, what's wrong, Diana?
No, I guess I'm just
a little nervous,
that's all.
Of course.
I'm afraid I'm a little
nervous myself.
I apologize for that
little incident out there.
Regrettable.
But we'll both feel better
after we've had a drink
and relaxed.
Now, wouldn't you like
And I'll order
some supper.
(CLEARS THROAT)
Room service, please.
Ready, Diana?
Not quite.
HENRY:
Supper's readyand I'm opening the wine.
All right.
(CORK POPS)
(MUSIC PLAYS LOUDLY)
(SOFT MUSIC PLAYING)
Better hurry.
I'll be right out.
If you need any help
