Sorry.
Oh.
Yeah, um, I got it.
Hey, what's with the clothes? We're supposed to play golf today.
Oh, I'm sorry, Roge.
I forgot all about it.
I told Jeannie I'd I'd help her around the house today.
Uh, golf takes three or four hours, you know.
Yeah.
Three or four hours.
Uh How about going over to the club? We'll play a little gin.
I can't, Roge.
I promised Jeannie I'd take her to lunch today.
Jeannie.
You Why don't you join us? No, no.
I'm, uh, not hungry.
I had lunch yesterday.
Oh.
Well, I don't suppose you'd like to go over and knock a few tennis balls around? Uh, Roge, I can't.
I told Jeannie I'd take her shopping after.
Hey, listen, why don't we, uh, set a whole day aside, huh? Next Saturday? And we'll spend the whole day together? Yeah.
Yeah.
Saturday's fine.
I better get over to the tennis court.
It's, uh It gets busy this time of day.
Uh I You, uh It's on the inside.
You gotta get your hand all the way up in there.
Saturday, yes.
[.]
Master? Yah! You have to get your hand up in there.
Oh.
Thanks.
[CHUCKLES.]
Is something the matter? [SIGHS.]
Uh, well, it's It's Roge.
I forgot our golf game today.
And then he wanted me to play gin rummy with him, and I told him I'm gonna take you to lunch and, well, you know Aw.
Well, you should have asked him to come with us.
Yeah, I did.
But I had the feeling he thought he was intruding or something, you know.
I should've taken off an hour to play a little tennis with him, you know.
Well, there's nothing to worry about.
There's plenty of people to play with.
It's always crowded on the courts this time of day.
Mm-hm.
[CLEARS THROAT.]
Oh.
[CHUCKLES.]
Oh, thanks.
[GIGGLING.]
You have to reach your hand up inside there.
Hm? Oh.

Beautiful.
Beautiful serve.
Two out of three.
Okay.
My serve.
[.]
[.]
[.]
Well, the fact is, Roger and I are just not as close as we used to be.
We used to do everything together, but now that I'm married, you know, it's just Well, why does not Major Healey get married? Ha-ha.
Roger get married? Yes.
Never in a million years.
Too much fun being single.
I beg your pardon, master.
Uh I mean, for Roger, it's too much fun being single.
Well, you know Roger.
He has a different girl every night.
Brunettes, blonds, redheads.
You know.
And that is what you call fun? Hm.
Men.
If Major Healey is having so much fun, why does he have no one to be with today, hm? Yeah, well it'd be great if Roger got married, but well, the girl would have to really be something special.
Perfect.
Not many perfect girls left around.
I got the last one.
Oh, master, that was sweet of you.
[CHUCKLES.]
You know, maybe I could ask Mama about a girl.
She has a lot of lovely ladies No, no, no, no.
I don't want you to do anything.
Now, one genie in Cocoa Beach is quite sufficient.
All right, master.
I wonder where one does find the perfect girl? [.]
Mrs.
Nelson, the man you've described on your questionnaire just doesn't exist.
He's too perfect.
Oh.
Well, that is why he needs the perfect mate.
[CHUCKLES.]
Let's see: An astronaut.
Handsome, charming, intelligent, warm, sensitive.
Tell me, Mrs.
Nelson, if this Major Healey is so extra-special terrific, why does he have to come to a computer service to find a girl? Oh, well, he does not know about this.
It is my idea.
Mm.
I see.
Well, let's give it a whirl.
JEANNIE: Ooh.
What a marvelous machine.
So scientific.
[CHUCKLES.]
[GIGGLES.]
Oh.
There you are.
What is the girl's name? Laverne Sadelko.
Oh.
Laverne Sadelko.
Mm-hm.
Well.
Where can I find this Laverne Sadelko? Oh, that is you.
But that That is you.
Well you can't argue with a computer.
Where do we find him? [.]
My niece, Patricia, is visiting us for a few days, and, uh, I want her to have a good time.
Oh, she'd have a good time with Major Healey.
You see, she's been very carefully brought up, and I don't want her exposed to anyone too, uh Too wild.
So I ask again, is Major Healey a gentleman? Um w-well, I I I I saw his commission.
It says he's a gentleman on the Good.
On your recommendation then, I'll entrust him Oh, no, my Not my recommendation, sir.
Now, I want you to arrange an accidental, uh Uh, meeting, uh, without letting her know that I had anything to do with it.
You know how shy some girls can be.
Shy? [BUZZER SOUNDS.]

Oh, I suppose he gave you that "shy, quiet, demure, old-fashioned" line, huh? Oh, yeah.

Honey, the only thing I'm old-fashioned about is old fashions.
Oh.
I'll have one, please.
And what will you have, sir? Uh, ginger ale, please.
That figures.
Uh, listen, when am I going to have my accidental meeting? Accidental meeting? Oh, come on.
