Exquisitely Bored in Nacogdoches: I Love You, Alice B. Toklas! (1968) part 3

What's a stiff, uptight, stuffy bachelor to do when an unbelievably beautiful, sexy, free spirit crashes at his pad? Why, he offers her his bed and sleeps on the couch, of course.

After a long day dealing with frivolous lawsuits, even a guy like Harold Fine needs a glass of booze to unwind,

which he takes to his bedroom after Nancy says she'd rather sleep on the couch so she can watch TV.

Of course, hippies didn't drink booze.

Harold continues to unwind by massaging the shoulders of his suit coat.

Harold whips out the asthma inhaler--clearly an emotional crutch.

Nancy has her own crutch.

The sucking sounds he hears alarm Harold, as he must think he's having an asthma attack. Watch this amusing scene here (only 30 seconds; I couldn't do a movie recap without a YouTube video):

It's a good morning when you find a hot flower child sprawled out on your floor. Good morning starshine, the earth says hello! Gliddy glub gloopy nibby nabby noopy, la la la lo lo, indeed.

The "tattoos" were painted, on set, by Andy Warhol. How frickin' cool is that??

Harold's such a good boy.

Nancy hears Harold as he's pulling out for work, and tells him she'll make him breakfast. Harold shushes her, and asks her not to answer the door or phone while she's there. Remember, Harold's engaged.
