: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.

:06:03
OId Mr. Lamb has been wonderfuI to me...
:06:05
...hoIding my job open
whiIe I've been sick aII this time.

:06:09
Don't you think that Iooks
as if they've thought something of me?

:06:13
Of course.
:06:15
It's just that it's kind of funny when
you think you've done pretty fairIy weII...

:06:20
...and the man at the head of it
seems to think so, too.

:06:23
It's kind of funny to have your mother...
:06:26
...think you're mostIy a faiIure.
:06:30
You're not a faiIure, Daddy.
:06:32
You're not.
:06:34
I'm going to taIk to Mother.
:06:37
You better not.
:06:39
-I don't want to start anything.
-Don't worry.

:06:44
Don't you worry.
