Written and Performed by Sonny Curtis
Mary is charmed by an older guy Doug (Lew Ayres) who drops in to wait for Murray, and quickly agrees to a date with him. Turns out it is Murray's father. Their second date is to a big reunion at Murray's house where Mary suffers quips about the 31 year age gap, so she decides to put her foot down.
My favourite scene was Sue Ann's bit about the test drive. Aunt Helen has her moments too.
