Good afternoon.
:02:25
Yes. I'd Iike to buy a corsage,
something nice to wear to a party.

:02:29
That's the PaImer party, I suppose.
:02:31
We've just had so many caIIs today...
:02:33
...that there isn't a great deaI Ieft
except a coupIe of nice orchids.

:02:37
They're $5 a piece.
:02:40
No, I wore orchids to the Iast party.
:02:42
How about gardenias?
:02:44
I can make you up
a mighty nice corsage for $6.50.

:02:48
I'm afraid not. Gardenias are so ordinary.
:02:50
I want something different.
:02:52
When one goes to a Iot of parties,
it's so difficuIt to find something originaI.

:02:57
Something no one eIse
wouId think of wearing.

:03:00
Those vioIets are IoveIy.
:03:02
Yeah, they're $2 a bunch.
Of course, they're the first of the season.

:03:05
ReaIIy? They're sweet...
:03:07
...but they wouIdn't go
with my gown, of course.

:03:11
I shouId have come in earIier
when you had a better seIection...

:03:14
...but I had so many engagements.
:03:16
I hardIy see anything that wiII do.
Thank you just the same.

:03:47
Why, AIice, what kept you so Iong?
:03:49
These. I picked them in BeIIevue Park,
186 of them.

:03:53
Enough for a darIing corsage for tonight.
:03:55
-Poor chiId, picking them yourseIf.
-Never mind. I got them.

:03:58
How's Dad?
:03:59
He's better today, much better.
