We were on the train, we were
peeping out the windows and she said:

:10:04
"Is that yucca out there?"
And I said, "I think it is! "

:10:07
Both of us were wild about yucca.
:10:11
Mr. Stevens came over and said,
"What's all the giggling about, girls?"

:10:15
I said,
"We just spotted some yucca growing.

:10:19
"And we can't see it. It's so far away.
But it's just wonderful! "

:10:22
He said, "You want some yucca?"
:10:24
I said, "How would that be possible?"
He said, "I think we can work it out."

:10:28
He went out, some cord was pulled,
and the whole train stopped.

:10:33
And I have wonderful home movies.
I'm so thrilled to have them...

:10:37
with Elizabeth, who looks so beautiful,
holding the yucca up.

:10:44
So many things happened that were fun,
and all happy memories.

:10:49
It was the very beginning of the film...
:10:54
and the night before,
Elizabeth, very nicely, had asked...

:10:58
my then future wife and I to come over...
:11:02
to she and Michael Wilding's house
for dinner...

:11:05
and have an evening of getting acquainted.
:11:07
"It's going to be a long time together,"
and so forth.

:11:10
It was very nice and very polite of her
to do so, and we did.

:11:15
And we had a wonderful time.
:11:17
And it was a very liquid evening.
:11:21
And several martinis later...
:11:24
suddenly we realize
it's 3:00 in the morning.

:11:27
And we have to get up and go to work
and shoot this wedding scene.

:11:32
Elizabeth had to get up, I guess, at 5:30.
:11:36
Girls don't have it as lucky as guys do.
:11:38
I had to get up around 6:30 or something.
:11:41
But we both were so dreadfully hung-over.
:11:45
We had to shoot this scene,
this highly emotional scene.

:11:48
Not a word to each other,
but just look at each other.

:11:54
Moony-faced.
:11:58
We shot the scene, and the hairdressers...
