Father Came Too!

Love me darling?

Pardon?

I said,

do you love me?

What do you think?

Come in.

A cable for Monsieur.

Oh thanks.

What time is it?

It's three o'clock, Monsieur.

In the afternoon?

Tip darling.

I haven't any money on me.

How much did you give her?

10 francs.

That's nearly a pound.

Oh, what does it matter?

We're on our honeymoon.

Oh no.

What is it?

The house has fallen through.

But it can't, you signed the contract.

Yes, our half but the other chap hasn't.

He's backed out.

- Oh well, we've two whole days before we worry about it.

43 hours, actually.

Oh well, we'll just have to get a furnished place

And start looking all over again, l suppose.

We could go and stay with Daddy.

No, it'd be better in our own place.

It'd be cheaper.

Well?

Give you chance to get to know him.

I know him already.

- No you don't, he's an old darling really.

You're three minutes late, Lang.

Your watch is fast.

My watch is never fast.

Never?

I will take that tea in to Mrs. Munro.

Mrs. Munro prefers me to take it.

My daughter prefers me to take it.

The tea will get cold.

Since the days, Lang, when l rescued you

from the inept performance of small parts

in provincial theaters, I have become inured,

Amongst many miseries, to cold tea.

Lang, have Fridella attend to me.

Terrible fog in here, let's have some air.

Good morning darling.

Good morning Dexter, rise and shine.

The old ham.

- You sure you don't want me to run you to work darling?

- Well your father's been kind enough to offer me a lift,

So there's no point in us both getting wet.

- Dexter, be so good as to open the garage doors.

There's no point in us both getting wet.

- No, well good bye till lunchtime Mrs. Munro.

- I'll think you every minute till then Mr. Munro.

And I'll think of you all the time too darling.

Come along you two, you aught to have

Got over that sort of thing months ago.

Take that jacket off, you’ll make the seat wet.

The gate, Dexter.

Come on, Dexter.

Come on, man.

I'm sorry I can't take you any nearer to your office,

But I go a different way from here.

Well, if you'd said that before.

Yes?

- Oh, never mind it's only 1 0 minutes walk.

- Don't worry, I saw everything, it was self defense.

How terrible.

- Well, I thought it was rather good myself.

Aye?

- We were only rehearsing my play, A Knife in the Back.

I play the leading role.

- At the Royal, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.

One or two still available,

Store's half a crown, bench is one and six.

I’m looking for a house.

Who isn't?

Kindly deal with this person Miss Ledgeworth, will you?

l'm looking for something small,

Well built, and not too expensive name.

Name?

Dexter Munro, and l'm already on

The books of seven other estate agents.

Address?

- Elsinore, Beacons Cross, care of Sir Beverley Grant.

Sir Beverley Grant?

Yes.

Are you staying with him, sir?

Well, he's my father-in-law.

Really?

I'll deal with this gentleman, Miss Ledgeworth.

Oh, that's kind of you.

Yes, not at all.

Your father-in-law, what a marvelous actor.

I model my belch on his.

And did you see his bottom at the Old Vic, tremendous.

Yes, but about the house.

Oh yes, of course, you'd like

to do something right away would you?

Well, as soon as possible.

Well, how about this afternoon?

My services are always at a client's disposal,

even on a Saturday afternoon.

But Roddy, you promised you'd take me...

- Another time, another time Miss Ledgeworth.

I don't want to spoil anything.

No no, not at all.

Just gonna play tennis, you know.

We’ll play another game tonight instead, won't we yes?

Yes, now I'll pick you up at three o'clock

At Elsinore this afternoon, is that all right.

Oh yes, it's very kind of you.

Not at all lad.

Sir Beverley will be there won't he?

Well, I expect he will.

- I'll certainly be there at three o'clock.

Glad to have been of help, good day then.

My foot is on the first rung of the ladder, Miss Ledgeworth.

Everyone tells me I must turn professional.

Now if I can get Sir Beverley to give me an audition...

Could you get me one too, Roddy?

Well now first things first, Lana.

It's what I've always wanted.

With my acting ability, and my sex appeal,

Nothing can stop me.

I can see my name flashing in Piccadilly right now,

Roderick Chipfield, Roderick Chipfield.

Sir Roderick Chipfield.

We mustn't rush things.

Wedgewood Travel Agency.

Good morning.

Can I help you.

Good morning, Miss Gadsgill.

Good morning, Mr. Donovan.

Morning, Miss Marthrop.

It's still coming down in buckets outside.

Sorry I'm a few minutes late, Mr. Wedgewood.

Still searching for the house.

I'll make up for lost time, don't you worry.

Juliet, I've fixed up a foursome for us.

You'll have to count us out.

Why?

We're going to look at some houses.

What for?

Dexter wants to buy one.

What's the matter with this one?

It's warm, comfortable, spacious,

furthermore it has the measure of being free.

Dexter appreciates that.

Well what's the matter with him then?

Don't you know, he just married.

He's only himself to blame for that.

Why should I be made to suffer?

This house needs a woman in it.

Well darling, you have got Lang.

- Lang, what have you been keeping from me all these years?

- Daddy listen, Dexter and I want a home of our own.

We like to be alone occasionally.

Oh excuse me sir, hold it.

Are you suggesting that l'm in your way?

- Well, you are a bit of an old goose berry sometimes.

Isn't he Dexter?

Well, yes, sometimes.

I mean well, not exactly, only you know.

I should hope not.

Anybody could live here without knowing of my existence.

I'm calm, considerate, self effacing,

And altogether delightful.

Yes, but...

People usually pay to enjoy my company.

You have it for nothing all the time.

Now go and get your clubs, I shall be in the car.

- Ah, Sir Beverley Grant, if I'm not mistaken.

Off for a quiet game of the old Scotsman's croquet, hey?

Who are you?

Roderick Shipfield sir, estate agent.

And occasional sterling player.

- Are you the individual who was endeavoring

To sell my son-in-law a house?

Yes sir, I have that privilege.

My son-in-law does not require a house.

My daughter prefers to remain with me.

If I may say so sir, who can blame her?

- So there is no point in your hanging around.
