I'd like to but it may be rather difficult. |
Why? |
I only come ashore twice a day when the tide goes out. |
Oh? |
It's on the account of the shells. That's my hobby. |
You collect shells? |
Yes. So did my father and my grandfather we've all had this passion for shells that's why we named the oil company after it. |
Shell Oil? |
Please no names. Just call me Junior. |
Would you mind moving along, please? |
Yes, you're in the way. He's waiting for a signal from his yacht. |
Well, I guess I'd better go |
It's been delightful meeting you both. |
And you will come to hear us tonight? |
If it's at all possible |
Josephine. |
Oh, I didn't hear you come in. |
The most wonderful thing happened |
What? |
Guess! |
They repealed Prohibition? |
One of whom? |
Shell Oil, Junior. He's got millions he's got glasses and he's got a yacht. |
You don't say! |
Well, he's young and handsome and a bachelor and he's a real gentleman not one of these grabbers. |
Maybe you'd better go after him if you don't want to lose him. |
Oh, I'm not going to let this one get away. He's so cute collects shells. |
Shells? Whatever for? |
Anyway, you're going to meet him tonight. |
I am? |
Because he said he's coming to hear us play maybe. |
I guess he's not going to show up it's give minutes to one you suppose he forgot? |
Well, you know how those millionaires are. These came for you. |
For me? It's Shell Oil. |
You heard her yes. |
Oh, Josephine just imagine me, Sugar Kowalczyk, from Sandusky, Ohio, on a millionaire's yacht. If my mother could only see me now |
Been waiting long? |
It's not how long you wait it's who you're waiting for. |
Thank you. And thank you for the flowers. |
I wanted them to fly down some orchids from our greenhouse but all of Long Island is fogged in. |
It's the thought that counts. |
I seem to be out of gas. |
It's sort of funny you being out of gas I mean, Shell Oil and everything |
I just got this motorboat it's an experimental model. |
Looks like they're on the wrong track. |
Do you mind riding backwards? It may take a little longer |
It's not how long it takes it's who's taking you. |
It looked so small from the beach but when you're on it, it's more like a cruiser or a destroyer. |
Just regulation size. We have three like this. |
Three? |
Mother keeps hers in Southampton and Dad took his to Venezuela the company is laying a new pipe line. |
My dad is more interested in railroads. Baltimore and Ohio. Which is the port and which is the starboard? |
Well, that depends on whether you're coming or going I mean, normally the aft is on the other side of the stern and that's the bridge so you can get from one side of the boat to the other how about a glass of champagne? |
Love it. Which way? |
Yes now let's see where do you suppose the steward set it up? |
Oh, you have an upstairs and a downstairs. |
Yes that's our hurricane cellar. |
Oh in here. |
Of course. On Thursdays, they always serve me in the small salon. |
It's exquisite like a floating mansion. |
It's all right for a bachelor. |
What a beautiful fish. |
Caught him off Cape Hatteras. |
What is it? |
Oh a member of the herring family. |
A herring? Isn't it amazing how they get those big fish into those little glass jars? |
They shrink when they're marinated. |
Champagne? |
I don't mind if I do. |
Down the hatch as we say at sea. |
Bon voyage. |
Look at all that silverware. |
Trophies. You know skeetshooing, dogbreeding, water polo... |
Water polo isn't that terribly dangerous? |
I'll say. I had two ponies drowned under me. |
Where's your shell collection? |
Yea, of course. Now where could they have put it? On Thursdays, I'm sort of lost around here. |
What's on Thursdays? |
It's the crews' night off. |
You mean we're alone on the boat? |
Completely. |
You know, I've never been completely alone with a man before in the middle of the night in the middle of the ocean. |
Oh, it's perfectly safe. We're well anchored the ship is in shipshape and the Coast Guard promised to call me if there are any icebergs around. |
It's not the icebergs. But there are certain men who would try to take advantage of a situation like this. |
You're flattering me. |
Well, of course, I'm sure you're a gentleman. |
Oh, it's not that. It's just that I'm harmless. |
Harmless how? |
Well, I don't know how to put it but I have this thing about girls. |
What thing? |
They just sort of leave me cold. |
You mean like frigid? |
It's more like a mental block. When I'm with girls, it does nothing to me. |
Have you tried? |
Have I? I'm trying all the time. |
See? Nothing. |
Nothing at all? |
Complete washout. |
That makes me feel just awful. |
Oh, it's not your fault. It's just that every now and then Mother Nature throws somebody a dirty curve. Something goes wrong inside. |
