Henrietta 'Henry' Robbins: What's that?
Mr. Coates: Lie down in bed. Pretend your taking a nap. I sneak in, climb into bed, and I touch you. You struggle, but not too hard. You got that?
Henrietta 'Henry' Robbins: Let's see. Bed. Sleep. Touch. Struggle. Not too hard.
Mr. Coates: Right!
Mr. Coates: Are You sleeping?
Henrietta 'Henry' Robbins: I'm sleeping.
Mr. Coates: Struggle. But not too hard.

Barbra Streisand shines as a woman helping her husband (Michael Sarrazin) get through school, whatever it takes. What takes place is very funny because he has no idea what she does all day as he's working as a cab driver in New York City. She keeps all of her hilarious misdeeds from him, hoping to be able to make the money he needs for school. She'll do anything...all for Pete's sake. My rating: 8
