we're all set. i picked up some sandwiches and put gas in the car. and the radio's still busted, so me can forget about the space man for today.
well, we could--
say, that'll be great! wouldn't it, helen.
you still haven't answered my question.
the boss is leaving for chicago tomorrow. if i could tell him i was getting married -- with two dependents--
a good insurance salesman wouldn't give you time to think.
you ready?
the picture starts at eight-fifty.
i hope mr. carpenter won't think i'm intruding.
i'm sorry. i guess i'm just tired of hearing about mr. carpenter. i don't like the way he's attached himself to you and bobby. after all, what do you know about him?
where did you see all this, bobby?
where were the soldiers all this time?
he's not there. but look what i found in his room
looks real to me.
this doesn't make sense.  i think the guy's a crook. i never did trust him.
i wonder if we ought to--
you think it's all right for you to stay here?
i'm at bleeker's getting an appraisal on that diamond. i thought we might have lunch together.
is it worth anything?
that's what i wanted you to tell me.
you sure about that?
no -- no, thanks.
call the pentagon and find out who's in charge of this space man business. whoever it is i want to talk to him.
get this other call first.
come on in.
i've got some terrific news about your friend, mr. carpenter.
helen, he's the man from the space ship! i had that diamond checked at three different places. nobody on earth's ever seen a stone like that! after what bobby told us, that's enough for me. why is it nobody knows anything about him? why hasn't he got any money?
how do you know?
are you crazy? after what happened today?
important? of course it's important. the point is we can do something about it.
he's a menace to the whole world! it's our duty to turn him in.
he told you.  don't be silly, honey -- just because you like the guy. you realize what this'd mean for us? i'd be the biggest man in the country. i could write my own ticket.
why not? somebody's got to get rid of him.
yes?.  what's his name, margaret? general cutler? all right, i'll hold on.
i don't care about the rest of the world!
you'll feel different when you see my picture in the papers.
you wait and see. you're going to marry a big hero!
hello, general cutler? no, i don't want to speak to his aide. i want to speak to the general. tell him it's about the space man.  my name is tom stevens. s-t-e-v-e-n- s.
that's right, general. that's where he's staying.  yes, of course i'm sure.
