( PHONE CONTINUES RINGING )

twenty-one.

Hey, Sal, will you get that?

Yeah, sure.

Hello?

( PHONE CONTINUES RINGING )

Yeah, he's here. Just a minute.

It's for you, Buddy.

Thanks. Hello?

( PHONE CONTINUES RINGING )

Hello? Oh? It's for you, Rob.

( PHONE CONTINUES RINGING )

Thanks a lot, fellas.

Hello. LAURA: Hi, honey.

It is for me. Told you.

Am I interrupting anything?

Yeah, but what you're interrupting

is highly interruptible.

What is it, honey?

Well, a telegram just arrived for you.

All right, you have my permission

to open it and read it.

All righty...

Well, what do you know.

It's from your brother, Stacey.

He says, "Arriving New York tonight on two-week furlough.

Please secure hotel reservations for me.

Would love to stay with you,

but would be more comfortable in hotel.

Understand, Burford?"

Who's Burford?

Uh, that's me, honey.

It's a name he called me once in a while.

Ah, well, anyway.

"Dying to see Laura and meet my nephew.

Love, Stacey." Isn't that wonderful?

Oh, that's, that's uh, just great, honey.

Look, can you fix up a bunch of barbecued ribs tonight?

He loves ribs.

He? Who he?

Ribs it'll be.

Oh, and I'll get your junk out of the den.

Uh, honey, don't uh, bother about the den.

I'll get him a hotel room.

Him? Who's him?

And is him married?

Rob, I won't hear of it!

He's the one relative of ours I'm really dying to know better.

Honey, you gotta believe me. Don't fix up the den.

My brother will be much happier in a nice hotel room.

Your brother! Hey, I got an idea.

I'll marry him, and he can stay with me.

What did you say, honey?

I said, I'm fixing up the den

and I don't want to hear another word.

One more word don't fix up the den.

He'll stay in a hotel room.

And that's final

and I'll see you at the regular time.

Bye.

Burford...oh boy.

Honey, I spoke to him.

He said he'd rather stay in a hotel,

now it's all settled.

It's not settled, Rob. You're not going to win.

Look, will you believe Stacey if he says he prefers a hotel?

Why would he prefer a hotel?

Because he's shy and retiring.

He doesn't want to bother people.

Well, all right. We'll discuss it when you get back.

You better go. You'll be late.

No, honey. I've got an hour before it lands.

I'll be there 15 minutes early.

Well, while you're waiting,

don't go nibbling candy from those machines.

I've got 10 pounds of wild looking ribs

in that oven. Okay. You keep them wild.

Both Stace and I will tame them.

All right. Burford!

Ouch!

Is that a way to greet a brother?

Stace, what are you doing here?

I came to eat ribs, Burf.

Well, come on in, uh, Stace.

Hi there. Hi, Stacey.

Stace, your plane wasn't due for an hour yet.

Well, I took an earlier plane, Burf.

Well, wwwhy, why, why did you...

No, what difference does it make what plane he took?

The point is he's here, and we ought to be telling him

how happy we are to see him.

Yeah, so somebody kiss me anybody.

I remember from the wedding you're my sister-in-law,

so you can kiss me.

Aw, ha ha.

How are you, Laura?

Just fine, and welcome to New York, Stacey.

Well, Burf, what do you want to do

kiss, shake hands, hug, what, huh?

Let's do them all how about that?

Good to see you, Burf!

How are you, you old beanstalk?

Just fine, Stace. How are you?

Rob, what's the matter with you?

Nothing's the matter with me.

He's acting like he's not happy to see you, Stacey,

and he is.

Oh, I know my brother Burf.

He's acting that way because I'm acting this way.

Ba doo, boo. ( LAUGHING )

that didn't make any sense.

Well we, uh, we Petries do that a lot.

Righto, Burf.

Listen, Stace how come you always call Rob Burford?

Eh, he looks like a Burford, doesn't he?

Yes, come to think of it?

Oooh, smell them ribs! Hahaha.

Say, Stace did you, uh,

catch a nice nap on the plane?

Sure did, Burf.

I wanted to stay right on that plane and sleep.

( CHUCKLES ) Well, we're glad you woke up.

Who woke up I'm still asleep.

( LAUGHS )

Say, Stacey, would you like to lie down awhile?

Oh, yes. And speaking of lying down,

I want it understood right here and now

that you're staying with us. No hotel.

And I don't want to hear any arguments.

Who's gonna argue?

Then you will stay with us?

Where else? Hey, Burf, how are you?

Stacey, wouldn't you like to catch a nice nap

and freshen up a little bit?

Good, good.

I want to do all those things nap, freshen up,

and then lead me to them ribs!

Go on, Stace.

Did I kiss you hello?

Yes, you did. All right.

Did I shake hands with you? Yeah, you did.

Good. I like to remember those things.

( WHISTLING )

Honey, I'll be back in a minute.

I...I want to explain something.

Yes, I thought you might.

Honey, can you come in here a minute?

Have you got a minute?

Well, it's going to take you longer than that

to explain your abominable behavior towards your brother.

Honey, will you sit down just a minute?

Didn't it seem to you

that Stacey was acting a little strangely?

No, he was acting like a fellow

who was happy to see us.

He was spirited, joyful, and bubbly.

Right. Three things that Stacey ordinarily is not

unless...

Unless what?

Well, honey, you're gonna find out sooner or later anyway.

I might just as well tell you.

My brother Stacey has a...problem.

A problem? Yeah.

He thought he had it licked, too,

but it looks like he hasn't.

Oh, Rob, no.

Your brother is a drunkard!

No, no, honey.

No, he's not a drunkard.

Uh, Stacey's a...a...

A what?

A somnambulist.

A somnambulist?

A sleepwalker?

The best in the world.

Well, I don't think I've ever seen a sleepwalker before.

Oh, yes, you just saw a big demonstration by one.

You mean that Stacey just now...

Sound asleep.

I don't believe it! How can you tell he's asleep?

Well, you noticed Stacey wasn't wearing his glasses

So?

He always wears his glasses when he's awake.

The only time he takes them off is when he's asleep

and you heard him call me Burford

Yeah.

Well, when he's that way, he calls everybody Burford.

Well, he seems so happy.

That's the big clue.

When he's awake, he's very shy, very retiring,

but when he's asleep, he's friendly, outgoing.

Are you asking me to believe that someone can be asleep

and walk around and talk?

You saw it with your own eyes.

I just can't believe it's true.

Well, it is.

I looked it up in the encyclopedia

and it lists all four kinds of somnambulism,

and Stacey is the fourth type, the rarest.

His is kind of akin to hypnotism.

It's under somnambulism.

I'm going to see this one myself.

Well, then just around.

Rob, what's he gonna do?

He's gonna play golf if I don't stop him.

Ahem, Stace... Say, where you going?

Oh, hi ya, Burford. How about a little golf?

We don't have the time now, Stace.

We're gonna have dinner.

Have I got...for... Just for nine holes?

No. Wouldn't you rather finish your nap

and freshen up and have dinner?

Good idea, Burf.

( WHISTLING )

Stace...uh, why don't you sleep in the bed?

Okay, uh, listen. Don't turn the water on.

Convinced? Almost.

What do you mean, almost?

You just saw a beautiful demonstration

of sleepwalking... And almost sleep golfing.

Oh, my.

Well, how will I be able to tell when he's awake?

When he's wide awake,

he's a totally different personality.

He's very shy and reserved and introverted.

Am I interrupting anything?

Oh, no. Come on in, Stace.

Hi, Rob. Hi.

Hi, Laura.

Hi, Stacey.

We, uh, we met, didn't...

Yes, we did.

Yeah, I...I remember.

Uh, Stacey, is your room all right?

Oh, yeah. It's just, it's just fine, Laura,

but I think, uh, it'd be better if I stayed in a hotel.

Stacey, sit down a minute, please.

Um, Rob told me everything.

He did? Uh huh.

Yes, and you're staying here with us.

Well, that's, that's very nice of you, but I, I...

Stace, when did the midnight strolls start again?

Well, it was about a week ago, and it's funny

because I haven't walked in my sleep since I was 14,

back in Danville. Remember, Rob?

Yeah, you mean when you got up and took the bus to Chicago?

Yeah.

You know we found him in a movie house,

watching the Laurel and Hardy festival.

Sat through it four times.

When they came in to clean up the theater,

there was Stace, slumped in a seat, sound asleep.

Well, I thought he was asleep.

Well, during the picture, I was awake/asleep.

When they found me, I was asleep/asleep.

I'm confused. I, I...

Yeah, so were the army doctors.

Just last week I got up in the middle of the night,

and I grabbed my banjo...

Your banjo?

Yeah, and I ended up strumming Reveille

over the loudspeaker at 3 A.M.

Boy, they didn't like that.

What do you think started it again?

Well, the army doctors think I'm a little disturbed

by the fact that I'm going to be discharged soon.

Well, don't you want to leave the army?

Oh, sure, sure I do.

You don't sound very sure.

No, I don't, do I?

No, I, I know I'm sure, though...I think.

Stace, have you been thinking about what you want to do

when you get out of the army?

Well, you know, Rob, I've always,

I've always liked comedy, and I've been thinking

well, that maybe I'd like to be a, a comedian.

A comedian?

Yeah. Around the barracks I, I, uh, cut up.

And uh, and uh, the fellas laugh at me a lot.

And I thought maybe that, uh, you could advise me.

About what?

About being a comedian.

Hm, well, uh, Stace,

I'd be happy to give you my opinion.

Uh, you want to show us what you do?

Uh, right now? Well, yeah.

Have you got your banjo with you?

Yeah, it, it's in my barracks bag there.

Well, good. Go get it.

Now? Rob: Sure, go ahead.

( CHUCKLES ) Okay.

Uh, it isn't much, though, I'll tell you.

Go on and get it.

All right. huh.

You get a little out of tune in the barracks bag.

I'll probably have to...

Aw, you really sure you want to hear me play?

Of course we are! Sure we do!

Well, I don't know.

( CHUCKLES )

I'll tell you I'm a little nervous.

Why be nervous we're your relatives.

Yeah, but you're civilians.

I never, I never played for anybody but soldiers before.

Well, why don't you think of me

as a former soldier.

Okay, I'll try.
