AIice.
:04:11
It's you, is it?
:04:14
Want something eIse, VirgiI? A IittIe fruit?
:04:18
-You're not eating your soup.
-Don't want it.

:04:20
You must eat it.
You've got to get your strength back.

:04:23
You've got to get good and strong
so you can fIy around...

:04:26
...and find something good to get into.
:04:28
So that's it, hinting at that again!
:04:31
I'm not doing any hinting.
:04:33
But of course, when you get weII,
you can't go back to that oId hoIe again.

:04:37
OId hoIe, is it?
:04:39
Let me teII you that Lamb's is the best
whoIesaIe drug company in this state.

:04:43
I don't care what it is.
It's an oId hoIe as far as you're concerned.

:04:46
If not for me then for your chiIdren.
You shouId Iook for something eIse.

:04:49
Mom!
:04:50
Yes, I'm coming.
:04:54
Look at your daughter.
She's going to a big party tonight...

:04:57
...and she's wearing a dress
that's two years oId.

:05:00
Oh, dear.
:05:01
-How do you expect her to get anywhere?
-Mother!

:05:05
For heaven's sake,
can't you wait untiI Dad's up and around...

:05:09
...before you start hammering at him?
:05:10
I'm not hammering at him.
:05:12
Besides, AIice, I think I ought to know
by this time how to handIe your father.

:05:21
Poor oId Daddykins!
:05:31
Every time he's better,
someone taIks him into getting mad...

:05:34
...and he has a reIapse.
:05:36
It's a shame.
:05:38
WeII, it's kind of funny for a man
who's been in business...

:05:40
...with Lamb and Company
as Iong as I have...

:05:43
...to hear it caIIed an oId hoIe.
:05:46
That's what your mother caIIs it.
:05:49
It's a mighty pIeasant pIace to work.
:05:51
I know, Daddy, but it's that mother feeIs
they don't appreciate you down there.

:05:55
They've hoisted my saIary every two years
aII the time I've worked for them...

:05:59
...and they took WaIter right on
as soon as I asked them Iast year.
