About
Alice, the only relatively normal member of the eccentric Sycamore family, falls in love with Tony Kirby, but his wealthy banker father and snobbish mother strongly disapprove of the match. When the Kirbys are invited to dinner to become better acquainted with their future in-laws, things don't turn out the way Alice had hoped.

Grandpa Martin Vanderhoff
What if all your deals fall through? It might be a good thing for you.
Anthony P. Kirby
Man, you're crazy.
Grandpa Martin Vanderhoff
Well, maybe I am. I used to be just like you. Then, one morning when I was going up the elevator, it struck me I wasn't having any fun. So, I came right down and never went back. Yes sir. That was 35 years ago.

The Joy of Living Authentically
Tony Kirby
I was just thinking about that family of yours. Living with them must be like living in a world of ], my good fellow. Everybody does just as he pleases, doesn't he?
[[Walt Disney]
Alice Sycamore
Yes. Grandpa started it. He just suddenly left business one day. He started up in the elevator one day and he turned around and came right down. He never went back. He could have been a rich man; but, he said he wasn't having any fun.
Tony Kirby
Oh, that's wonderful.
