She was to have met me here an hour ago.
She's very susceptible.
It's a dangerous age, 17, Nelson.

I will spend the rest of my life at your feet.
Not here you won't.
You're going out in the back door this time.
You're not throwing Harold out, maj.
Oh, yes, I am.
This is my house.
Remember that.
What would Daddy say if he knew your girlfriend was a guru? [MUTTERING.]
You wouldn't do a thing like that, would you? SUZIE: Of course not, maj.
Not as long as you behave yourself.
All together now.

What do you get? [DOOR OPENS.]
TONY: Uh, Roge.
Hey.
Heh.
I'm sorry about that thing with Schaeffer and the car.
Oh, that's all right.
Nothing I'd rather do than sit up all night telling Williams dumb elephant jokes.
[YAWNING.]
What do you get when you cross an elephant with a jar of peanut butter? I'd like to stick around and help you out, but Suzie ordered me back to the house in half an hour.
What do you mean, she ordered you? She's got me over a barrel.
If I don't do everything she says, she's gonna tell her father about Jeannie.
It could be worse.
You could sit here all night telling dumb elephant jokes.
In fact, do you know any elephant jokes? I really haven't got time for it.
I'll see you later.
You all right? Huh? Wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
What? Just tell me any joke.
Sorry, Suzie.
It's out of the question.
Oh, but, maj, Harold won't be any trouble.
He hardly eats anything and you've got plenty of room in your pad.
TONY: Absolutely not.
Well, it'll just be for a little while.
Until we get married.
Married? You and Harold are gonna get married? Have you mentioned this to your father? Uh-uh.
That's what you're going to do.
Me? I'm gonna My dear girl, wild horses couldn't get me to mention Harold to your father.
I think that I would rather I dream of Jeannie With the light blond hair [.]
My daughter marry an unwashed hippie? Are you out of your mind?! Yes, sir, I think I think I must be.
He's not such a bad guy, sir.
If you'd just meet him.
You know, just talk to him.
Get out of here before I lose my temper.
Yes, sir.
I wouldn't want you to lose your temper.
Wait.
