We have to go.
No, wait! At least stay for dinner!
This is your bedroom?
No, Mom, I've turned it into Dad's office.
Well, where are you
Eve and I...eloped. We're married.
No.
Yes.
Hello.
Hi.
Howhow much do you want for the Mickey Mantle, rookie season?
I was thinking of selling all the cards.
Really? No kidding?
See, my problem is, all I have are hundred dollar bills and I need something smaller. Ones, fives, tens. Like that.
I see what ya mean. Tell you what...I'll give you five hundred dollars in small bills for the whole box.
Oh, that would be wonderful!
Well, we're here to help!
Sir? I would really appreciate it if you wouldn't take the Lord's name in vain again.
Oh, you got a problem with that?
I didn't want to leave without saying how much I admire your jewelry.
Hey, smart ass, how 'bout I kick your butt?
Whatcha looking at?
Oh, my holy stars! A Negro!
Say what?!
How do you do, ma'am.
I do alright.
Good!
Help you?
Yes, please. I'm looking for all beef patties.
Come on. Frozen. How much are they?
Frozen, they're sixthirty a dozen in the three pound box.
Then I'll need, twelve into nine hundred, seventyfive boxes. And that's almost...five hundred dollars just for the hamburger! And my Mom only gave me three thousand dollars for everything! The yacht batteries! The diesel oil! The birthday candles!
You could have a meat order that big delivered to your home.
Sure.
Well, that's great then! Terrific...except...it just occurred to me. I don't know where I live! I'm lost! I don't know where home is! Would you excuse me?
Gladly.
What? What is it?!
The sky!!!
The sky? Where?
Up there!!
I don't see anything!
Just look!!
You dial nine to get out.
Of what?
The hotel.
I see. Well, thank you very much. You've been very, very nice.
Thank you. Your father is a smart guy.
My father is a genius.
No kiddin'. Well...good night.
Good night! Sleep tight. Don't let the bedbugs bite! That's what my Mom always says... ...who I'm really beginning to miss. I'm sorry. It's my first night away from home.
How old are you?
Thirtyfive.
You don't look thirtyfive.
How old do I look?
Twentyfive? Around there.
I guess living up here makes people look older.
Up here on the fifteenth floor?
Yes. Up here on the fifteenth floor. Goodnight.
Goodnight.
You have very nice ceilings.
I do? Well, thank you! You like ceilings?
Not particularly.
Well, I hope you like these! Fresh sea urchin wrapped in seaweed. Or "nori" if you prefer. I love sushi.
I love Lucy!
You nut!
It's a very small place. People don't even know it's there.
And it's called...?
Maybe Eve can guess. She's psychic.
Really? Since when?
Right on the button.
Well, Dionne Warwick, guess his home town.
That's right?
I've never met anyone like you in my life.
She's right?!
I've got goosebumps all over me.
Why not just go to... Nome for supplies and a wife? Isn't that closer?
Well, we try. Listen, let me just ask you a few questions. When did Alaska become a state?
1959.
Who use to own it?
Russia.
When did we get it from them?
1867. Seward's Folly. We paid 7.2 million dollars for it. A tidy sum then, as well as now. I'm quoting my father, of course.
What's the capitol?
Juneau.
Hello! It's Anchorage! Gotcha!
Sorry, that's the largest city.
This must be very new.
Yeah.
It's so small.
What are you talking about? This is the new Mac. You a hacker?
I don't think so.
You don't have a computer in your cabin?
No.
How do you get through those winters? Well, you're right. Juneau. What's the highest peak?
Mt. McKinley. It's also the highest point in North America.
Okay, maybe she is psychic. Let's go eat!
That would knock my father out.
Yeah?
Oh, yes. It would probably kill him.
He's a Windows guy then, huh?
