Unexpected Encounter in the Hydrangea Bushes
George: [picks up Mary's robe, which is lying on the ground]
Mary... Okay, I give up. Where are you?
Mary:
Over here in the hydrangea bushes.
George: [He is about to throw her the robe, but reconsiders mischeviously]
Here you are. Catch. Wait a minute. What am I doing? This is a very interesting situation! (This line was repeated by Jimmy in the 1940 film "No Time for Comedy").
Mary:
Please give me my robe.
George:
Hmmm...A man doesn't get in a situation like this every day.
Mary: [Getting annoyed]
I'd like to have my robe.
George:
Not in Bedford Falls, anyway.
Mary: [thrashing around in the bushes]
Ouch!
George:
Gesundheit. This requires a little thought here.
Mary:
George Bailey! Give me my robe!
George:
I've heard about things like this, but I've never thought I would be in one.....not in Bedford Falls anyway
Mary:
Shame on you. I'm going to tell your mother on you.
George:
Oh, my mother's way up the corner there.
Mary:
I'll call the police!
George:
They're way downtown. They'd be on my side, too.
Mary:
Then I'm going to scream!
George:
Maybe I could sell tickets. No, no... Let's see. No, the point is, in order to get this robe...I've got it! I'll make a deal with you, Mary.
George:
Uncle Billy?!
Uncle Billy:
George, George! Your father has had a stroke!
George:
Sorry Mary, I need to go!
